You just bought the giant flat screen TV you've been eyeing for almost a year.
You have a Blu-ray player ready to play your favorite movies on repeat.
And your kids have their game systems lined up and ready to use.
So how do you put all these electronic components together in an aesthetically pleasing and easily accessible way? Purchase a TV stand.
TV stands come in all different shapes, sizes and finishes, so you have a variety of options to consider.
Your personal style will dictate what kind of stand you purchase, but you want to make sure you choose one that fits in with your home.
What to Consider When Purchasing a Stand for Your TV Choosing the right TV stand is a big decision.
It needs to be functional, durable and attractive, and it should fit in easily with your home's current décor.
To make sure you find the best TV stand possible, keep the following factors in mind:

• Location.
  Do you need a TV stand to fit in the corner of a room, or do you want it to be flush against a wall? Where your stand is going will dictate what shape and size it needs to be.
  
• TV size.
  If you just bought a 50 inch flat screen TV, you want to make sure your stand is big enough and durable enough to hold it.
  The last thing you want is your TV tipping over and smashing to the floor.
  
• Finish.
  If your TV is going in a room filled with rustic oak furniture, it wouldn't make much sense to buy a black lacquered stand.
  The stand doesn't have to match the finishes you already have, but you want to make sure it will accent them.
  

As you can see, there are a few key things to consider as you begin searching for the perfect TV stand.
Take your time and compare prices to make sure you find the best price - and the best value - possible.
