Which Came First, the Stand Or the TV?

Can you not just see the absent-minded inventor proudly showing off his work to his wife many, many decades ago? "Honey," he exclaims, "look at what I just invented?" "What is it?" she asks, "It looks like a cupboard sitting on the floor." He replies, "I don't know. I just invented it." Of course, as she turns around to go back to her cooking, she suggests he finds something to do with it, or something close to that. So back to the shop he goes, to invent the TV.

The early TVs came with their own case. Many different styles were designed over the years to fill all the decorating needs of the modern people. These first TVs were large and heavy and required at least two people to move them.

Over time, TVs evolved into smaller and lighter units. Today all you buy is the TV. You can put it on a counter, the floor, an end table, or whatever.

This produced a new trend in manufacturing TV stands. You can find a stand in almost any material and style known to man. Some are made from wood in various colors and finishes. Some are made from plastics in modern styles, old styles, and everything in-between. Some are metal and some feature glass. Whatever style you want, you can find.

These stands have evolved from a unit just large enough to put the TV on to wall-sized units for huge living rooms. Now you can store the TV, the DVD player, the recorder, music players, art displays, books, magazines, and anything else you want on the wall units. Some of these units come in sections, some are stationary, some are on wheels, and some have drawer and some store CDs and VCR tapes.

If you cannot find what you want, you can assemble it. You can build it from lumber or other materials or you can assemble it by putting cubes together.

Life has become easy. No longer do you have to drag rocks or parts of a log into the house for stands. Now you can purchase a variety in an assortment of colors and designs guaranteed to fill any desire.

A TV stand can be a beautiful piece of furniture to look at, a focal point in a room, and a great place to hide away clutter. What kind goes well with the decor you have?
