Modern man is already tightly hooked on a nightly dose of television entertainment. Without his favorite program or series, he can’t relax and take a break from daytime problems. And meetings with friends are increasingly taking place in the society of this miracle of information civilization. Like it or not, and for some it’s easier to live without a stove in the kitchen (you can order pizza and by phone) than without a TV.
But since this equipment is not cheap, the question naturally arises of its safe placement in the apartment. A reliable TV shelf will solve this problem, plus - it may well play a leading role in the interior. Its original design will be the highlight that will give the atmosphere expressiveness. Anyway, in the living room the central place is reserved for a sofa and a TV screen.
A shelf for a TV from which it is not made — wood, chipboard, metal, glass, plastic (however, this is already a rarity). Sellers, of course, will praise products made of noble natural wood. Undoubtedly, natural living material is preferable: it breathes, its presence in the apartment is safe, it will serve a well-dried tree for a long time.
But chipboard with a laminated coating is no worse. Therefore, if you want to save a little, then do not be afraid to purchase high-quality models from this material.
Fans of a high-tech interior will appreciate the elegant, as if weightless, structures made of glass and metal. When choosing this option, consider the weight of your TV device. The TV shelf should be made of durable tempered glass, but whether it will be frosted, transparent or tinted - this is entirely a matter of your taste. Despite the apparent fragility, such racks serve more than one year. It is only necessary to protect them from scratches, and caring for them is not very difficult. A rag in your hands, but a means to wipe the glass, that's all wisdom.
If your soul asks for aesthetics in combination with naked pragmatism, then mount special shelves for TV under your home theater. Wall constructions made of drywall will hide from the eyes the wires stretching from the screen, in the niches you can arrange speakers, a player, headphones, a remote control. Such racks are often made to order, some master craftsmen take the tool, stock up on time, patience and independently mount everything to the last screw on the mounts.
A hinged shelf for a TV and its holders should be designed for a certain device weight (the plasma, although thin, is by no means a fluff). If you frivolously wave your hand at it, then one day you can find a heavily damaged expensive equipment that fell along with the flimsy stand on the floor.
Having taken care of the purchase, many perplexedly look at the catalogs of sellers - which you just won’t see there, as a result some buy the simplest models. Like, why spend money on confused products. But the TV shelf is not just a place where you put your “beloved”. Think about where you put the movie collection, remote, player, set-top box? So approach with full responsibility to this issue, so that later with regret not to look at the missed opportunities.
