Ever since televisions started appearing in nearly every home around the middle of the 20th century, TV stands followed their meteoric rise. Starting out as little more than wiry dinner trays and squat dressers, TV stands have evolved almost as much as the televisions that rest on them. Woods Furniture Gallery, in Stephenville, TX, takes you through a brief history of the evolution of TV stands. 

  • tv standsThe Ultra-Basic Model: TV stands began with a simple, straightforward design. In the 1950s and 60s, stands were often composed of four metal legs on wheels, with space on top for a television set. They looked a lot like the TV dinner folding trays we still see today. 
  • The Classy Rectangle: As televisions got heavier and required more wires, remotes, and other accessories, TV stands needed to expand. One of their early stages of development was to become larger and offer more storage capacity. These TV stands were very low to the ground and often looked like dressers. The most popular ones, still around today, featured sleek designs made of walnut. 
  • Today's Variety: The TV stands of today have come a long way. Now, many are full-blown entertainment centers, with room for DVD and Blu-ray players, video game consoles, books, and home accents. There's more variety than ever before too, with consumers being able to choose between basic stands, corner units, and more sophisticated designs that even include LED fireplaces.
