If you want a TV display stand to fit into the modern home environment then a glass TV stand is a great choice. These are available in a number of contemporary designs and are affordable, strong, safe and easy to set up. When you are buying a glass TV stand you do need to take into account the type of cable management system you want, the weight of the television and also what other equipment you want to display (DVD players, set top boxes etc). This will help to ensure you pick the right glass TV stand for your home entertainment display needs.

Cable Management Systems

Modern home entertainment systems are reasonably complex and you may have a lot of wires connecting all of your equipment together. One of the drawbacks of glass TV stands is that they have ‘see through’ sections. You can help to minimise this by buying glass TV stands with frosted or dark coloured glass, but you will still see some of the wires. To help make your television display more tidy you need to take a look at glass TV stands and buy ones that can offer cable management systems. This could include a hollow central column through which you can pass the wires for the different connections, or integrated wire clips to allow you to fasten wires out of the way. These cable management systems allow you to create tidy, clean looking finishes to your television display.

Glass Thickness

Glass thickness is important when you are buying a TV stand, especially of you have one of the older style CRT televisions as these can be very heavy. You should be looking for glass TV stands of at least 8mm thickness. This should be strong enough to withstand the weight of any modern television. Some of the cheaper glass TV stands will only be made from 6mm glass. This would be fine in most cases but it is best to opt for the slightly thicker 8mm as there is not much difference in price. You can then be sure then that you have bought a cabinet strong enough to support the weight of your home entertainment system.

You can also buy glass TV stands in thicker glass up to around 19mm. These are very strong and also help to reduce sound vibrations. This is important if you have powerful home entertainment systems. You also need to choose a stand that offers enough shelves for you to store all of your television equipment safely and securely.

Safety

Most modern glass TV stands will be made from toughened safety glass. You do need to check this before you buy as this is a much safer option for home and work environments. You never know when an accident will happen and toughened safety glass will not smash into sharp pieces if damaged.
