TV Stands

A TV stand comes down to three measurements: the width of the screen, eye level from the sofa and the route of the cables. The BOIA model follows that line with rounded shapes, discreet storage and a cable management hole.

Wider than the screen

The front works best when it extends beyond the TV on each side, otherwise the screen looks precariously balanced and the wall looks lopsided. Measure the actual width of the TV, stand included, not its advertised diagonal. A center stand also needs a top that holds it perfectly flat.

Height is measured seated

The center of the picture should be at eye level when you are settled on the sofa, which points toward low units. Take the measurement from your usual seat rather than standing, because the difference matters over an entire evening. A low unit also frees up the wall, leaving room for a frame or a wall light.

Cables first, then dust

A cable hole makes wires disappear at the back, provided you bundle them before feeding them through. Leave a few centimeters between the unit and the baseboard so the outlets stay accessible. On rounded shapes, a soft, barely damp cloth is enough, with no abrasive products on the corners.

Frequently asked questions

What width of TV stand for my TV?

Take the width of the screen and add a margin on each side, around ten to fifteen centimeters. The front should read as a base resting on the floor, not as a support that is only just big enough.

At what height should a TV be placed?

Aim for the center of the picture at eye level when seated. That is why a low unit works better than a tall one in a living room.

How do I care for a TV stand?

Regular dusting with a dry cloth and a damp wipe from time to time are more than enough. Dry immediately and avoid abrasive products, especially on the rounded edges.
