Top 10 Best TV Stands in the UK 2020 (Argos, Tom Schneider and More)

Kicking off our list is this functional piece with a price point that won't break the bank. It has easy access at the back for all your cable needs, and is high enough for your TV to escape the consequences of roaming toddlers or small children. 

On the negative side, oak-effect or it other colours of MDF will never be the best-looking materials, and there are no closeable cupboards for secure storage. Still, for less than 50 quid, the Maine TV Unit will certainly do the job!

We're not the biggest fan of a glossy matte finish MDF, but this corner stand doesn't look too bad at all once its all set up. It's a very good height to keep pets and kids away from the screen, or to keep a TV in a view from across a large room. 

The light-up central section is a cool addition too, but there's only one colour option (blue). Also, although there are lots of shelves and cupboards, they are all quite small, so you might find some issues if you've got bigger hi-fi or soundbar equipment. That said, if you are looking to display some stylish nick-nacks, this would be ideal. 

If you've got lots of fancy equipment to go with your TV that you want to show off, glass units are a great option. This wallet-friendly corner unit from Argos has a nice modern aesthetic, even if the frame is chrome-plated plastic rather than actual metal.

This Home Matrix might not be the biggest out there as it can only fit TVs up to 32 inches, but it does a great job of displaying all your accessories and makes plugging them all in super-simple as well. Easy! 

Not only does it look good with its 14 different LED light colours and modes, but Elegant's TV Cabinet is a great family unit. It's tall enough to keep a 52" TV away from small hands, and comes with three massive drawers for secure storage of all the family's bits. 

Plus, the matte plastic finish is very easy to wipe clean in the almost inevitable case of spillage. There are no cable holes though, so unless you have wireless tech or a smaller TV (opening up space on the top) you'll have to get a drill out to make your own hole to fit your cables through. 

This curvy option from AVF looks great in both a corner – if your room is big enough – or against a wall. The metal grill back panel can be removed if you wish, but if not it provides great ventilation for any high-power devices like consoles or top-end audio players. There's also one premade cable hole for super easy access!

The top is made from lovely looking tempered black glass, and the main frame has a thin layer of real wood veneer. However, this is best for grown-up households, as the Affinity Premium is quite low, and glass is never the best material to have around small children. 

The other two stands we recommended from Argos very much focused on function over style, so we thought it would only be fair to show they can make a good-looking TV unit too. Although the wood-effect shelf would have been nicer in real wood, for the price point this is a super modern and clean design.

There are no worries about cable holes with the open design, and the two shelves are on a cool little runner system. However, while it's long, there's not too much space on which to put consoles or TV boxes. So, the Floating TV Top Unit might not be for you if you've got lots of accessories. 

This long and tall option from Argos is perfect for those with a lot of stuff, or a big family. It might look a little utilitarian, but with five shelves (open for cables) and two drawers, you're never going to run out of space for everyone's gadgets, consoles, and other bits. 

It's also suitable for a really big TV up to 65 inches, so the reasonable price point might be attractive if you've spent all your money on a whopping screen! Just kidding. Still, for this price you're not likely to get a bigger stand than the Turin 2 Door Extra Large. Just make sure it will fit in your room!

This premium John Lewis exclusive TV stand comes in full American white oak – either in a dark or a light finish – for a rustic finish to its sharp modern lines. A welded iron frame completes the functional-but-clean look. 

For the price, and with such gorgeous wood, you wouldn't expect to be drilling your own cable holes – so the Calia comes with one neatly premade on the top shelf. The two drawers are also super smooth to operate, on metal casters. Lastly, John Lewis recommends you coat your unit in Danish oil once or twice a year, to keep the wood looking fresh. 

Look at it! This gorgeous retro 1970s design is full of character and elegant British charm. Handmade in our fair isles from your choice of 100% oak or walnut wood, the Taper 1050 is a beautiful centrepiece for anyone interested in the heights of interior design.

Not only does it look great, but this unit is also highly functional with four cable holes. It's wide enough to fit a fairly big screen of 45" on too. Just make sure you've got a nice TV to go on top of it, or the stand might steal the show!

This lovely TV stand is relatively inexpensive but seems to cover all bases – helping make it Amazon's no.1 rated TV unit by customer reviews! Despite the price, it's made with a quality, real wood finish rather than a wood effect, and a gorgeous solid steel frame. It would look equally as great in a bedroom as it would a living room, too. 

The slatted cupboards are a nice aesthetic choice too, and look good in both colour options. However, it's the adjustable central shelf and feet that really top it off as our number one. No matter your floor space or storage needs, the Vasagle TV Console Unit should be able to handle it. Nice!
