• If you do not want to choose for a long time, get a universal product made of colorless glass - the curbstone will perfectly fit into any home environment.
• Do you plan to place in the nightstand not only equipment, but also books, magazines and other small things - the best solution would be a chest of drawers, complemented by drawers and shelves.
• Wheels will help when moving the bedside table from room to room.
• If there are small children in the house, choose a product that they cannot hurt themselves: no sharp corners, glass inserts, massive handles.
• The quality of raw materials and workmanship is another important aspect . Doors when opening should not creak and warp, as well as drawers. All parts must be securely fastened together.
• If the bracket is not firmly secured , it is recommended that the edge of the TV be within the TV stand, as otherwise it may topple over if someone accidentally touches it.
• Do not place a powerful speaker next to the TV , since its vibrations cause interference on the screen, they loosen the mountings of the brackets, and rattle glass and loose parts.
• Next, decide how you will most often watch TV: sitting on an armchair, lying on a couch, or sitting on the floor. Depending on this, select the height of the TV stand. Its standard indicator when placed on an armchair / sofa is 50 or 60 centimeters, when sitting on the floor - 40 cm.
• Check with our consultants for what weight the selected product is designed for . The slightest overload will be fraught with breakage of the cabinet itself and damage to all equipment placed on it. If possible, get a nightstand that can support more weight than you need, so that there is some "margin" if you want to put something else on it.
• As for the shape of the TV stand , then your personal taste and ergonomics of the product come to the fore. It can be rectangular, square, triangular, or have rounded edges. Think about where and how you will place it and then decide which configuration model will fit there best.
