3 Of The Best-Selling Entertainment Stands At Ikea
Whether it's game night or movie night, the living room is often the hub of family activity. Enjoying time together means that this room can start to accumulate an eclectic assortment of items. When electronics, TV remotes, board games, and books are spread throughout the room, your home can start to feel cluttered and disorganized. Choosing an entertainment stand can provide the storage solution that you need.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, creating new ideas for storage and organization continues to be a dominant trend in interior design. An entertainment stand meets this need by doing more than simply keeping games and accessories out of sight. It also makes a design statement in your home. If you're searching for a new entertainment stand, it's important to find one that is the right size for your room, has the right number of storage compartments and shelves, and also suits your home décor the best. Fortunately, Ikea offers several designs to choose from. Here are three of their best-sellers to check out.
BESTÅ
This BESTÅ storage unit is available in over 50 colors, features three compartments with adjustable shelves, and offers pricing that begins at $288. However, the BESTÅ system can be customized in a number of different ways. Begin with a choice of frames with one, two, or three compartments, then decide between doors, drawers, or a combination of both. The styles include a solid stained veneer, a high gloss finish, and clear or frosted glass fronts. Choose between handles, knobs, and a variety of legs for the base. The solid interior shelves are offered in several colors, or you may choose a glass shelf. The top panel includes choices of an oak or glass white veneer.
Reviews of this system are mostly positive, with comments like, "Purchased this as a TV stand and I am so glad I did! I love that it has legs because [it] adds an airy feel to it, the glossy finish paired with the glass top makes it look elegant, clean and sleek and pulls the whole living room together! The storage space inside is generous." However, many reviews reflect that customers are surprised to discover that their three-compartment unit is actually made of two pieces that are meant to be joined together. The assembly can be tricky when making the separate pieces align together. Purchasing the top panel for the unit is the best way to hide the division between the modules and make the unit look cohesive and polished.
BRIMNES
The BRIMNES TV unit is a highly-rated product with features such as open shelves, large drawers with ample storage space, and openings in the back for cords to pass through. This stand has a width of 70 ⅞ inches, a depth of 16 ⅛ inches, and a height of 20 ⅞ inches, and it can hold a TV that weighs up to 66 pounds. Its sturdy capacity and generous storage space make it easy to display a large TV with room to store all accessories and cords out of sight. The unit is priced at $189.99 and is available in black or white. It coordinates well with other items in the BRIMNES line, such as the glass-door cabinet or bookcase.
Customers are extremely pleased with this entertainment stand. One reviewer states, "I highly recommend The Brimnes TV Unit. [It] has a modern & classy look. A clean dark finish and elegant design. It has a fresh look and upgrades my living room decor." Another customer says, "Love how the drawers are styled. Excellent value considering its low price. Matches perfectly with our TV. A beauty in our TV room." Another reviewer comments on the piece's sturdiness and support under the drawers, and one person appreciates how a 65-inch TV fits well on top with plenty of space around it. Quite a few reviews point out that the instructions are a little difficult to follow, but some said that they discovered YouTube videos that helped them complete the assembly.
FJÄLLBO
The industrial metal and solid wood combination of the FJÄLLBO TV unit creates a chic and contemporary style for a room. One advantage of the metal mesh doors is to allow signals to pass through from devices such as remote controls, sound bars, or routers. The open back makes it easy for cords and cables to pass through and reach their connections. The unit has a width of 59 inches, a depth of 14 ⅛ inches, and a height of 21 ¼ inches, and it can support a TV that weighs up to 66 pounds. This stand is featured in black and is available for $199.99.
Reviewers enjoy the unit's contemporary style and practical storage capacity. One person comments, "This [TV] stand is awesome. Modern styling, sleek profile and extremely functional with shelving for your electronics. It fits my 65" inch [TV] perfectly without taking up much space in my bedroom." Another person points out, "I absolutely love this cabinet. It was perfect for the spot I chose it for, and holds all our video game consoles out of sight but readily accessible." Whether you choose this entertainment stand or a different one, knowing that everything is organized and stored away will make the next game night in your home even more fun.
