TV stands are entertainment hubs - housing your TV, games consoles, streaming boxes, and the inevitable tangle of cables. But they're more complex than they look, with doors, shelves, and cable management all needing to work together.
📺 Weight matters. Modern 55" TVs weigh 15-25kg, plus all your equipment. The stand must be solid and level.

🔧 DIY Tips
Building it yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Phillips screwdriver
- Allen keys
- Spirit level
- Rubber mallet
📐 Key steps
- Build carcass perfectly square
- Check cable holes before back goes on
- Adjust soft-close hinges carefully
- Level on floor before loading
- Plan cable routes to wall sockets
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Carcass not square (doors won't align)
- Cable holes blocked by back panel
- Not levelling on floor
- Overloading glass shelves
💡 Pro trick: Before fitting the back panel, plan where cables will exit. You may need to enlarge holes or create new ones. Much easier to do before the back is fixed.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🔌 Think cables first - where's your power socket? Where will HDMI cables run? Cable management is much easier when you plan before the stand goes against the wall.
Loading tips:
- Heaviest equipment lowest
- TV on top surface
- Don't exceed shelf limits
- Balance side to side
Floor types:
- Hard floors need felt pads
- Carpets may need adjustment
- Consider cable runs to wall
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a TV stand need professional assembly?
TV stands carry significant weight - your TV, consoles, soundbars. They need to be level and sturdy. Cable management holes need aligning. Soft-close hinges need adjustment. Getting it right matters when your TV is sitting on top.
Can you mount my TV to the wall too?
TV wall mounting is a separate service. I can do both if needed. Often people want the stand for media devices even when the TV is wall-mounted.
What about cable management?
Most TV stands have holes or channels for cable routing. Getting these aligned during assembly makes a huge difference. I'll make sure cables can route easily to power sockets and between devices.
The stand has glass shelves - are they safe?
Tempered glass shelves are strong when properly supported. They need to sit fully on their supports with weight limits observed. I'll position them correctly and advise on loading.
