Something to put my TV on...help needed!

[VelvetSpoon]

Basically that. Can anyone find anything suitable for me that is big enough and not unsightly? Oh, and preferably doesn't cost the earth.

Tv in question is a very unapproved of by MN whopper of 55in.

Can't wall hang it because my walls are plasterboard, and doubt they'd take the weight.

At the moment it's on the floor, looking a bit sorry for itself

I just want something that isn't a big horrible glass/ metal TV stand. But anything wooden seems to be £££s....

Have you had a look on the Currys website? Lots of different ones on there.

Thanks, yes I did have a look on there but anything the right size (plus ideally it needs to be a cantilever one as well, as tv not very stable on it's tiny feet) was £300 odd, which seems a lot.

Have looked on ebay, Amazon etc. Just can't find anything that looks nice and is on budget.

British heart foundation usually have one or two lying around. .. and ikea had one in the outlet for £130, worth checking ikea clearance from time to time!

Depends what you want but we have this ( In walnut) from JL and I love it.

Sorry - just saw the price and maybe too much. It is lovely though.

IKEA have some great ones

I had this struggle recently. So many are just so ugly!

I got the smaller version of this one and its really nice and just simple - www.habitat.co.uk/elliot-white-large-av-unit-313769

West Elm have some lovely ones but they are not cheap! www.westelm.co.uk/media-tv-storage-we-uk

You might think your wall is made of plasterboard, but most likely it is made of a sturdy wooden frame with plasterboard nailed to it. When you have worked out where the studs and noggins are you can drill and drive in 2" woodscrews for your mounting plate.
