Slim, small, elegant TV stand?

Post date: 2020-11-24 12:49:13

Our TV is in front of the only window in the living room. It's too far from the wall to mount on even the longest arm. We have a big black monolith under it now, but with the demise of satellite TV and the VCR, need far less storage. However, we still need someplace to put power strips and a Blu-Ray player. What should I get? Snowflakes!

It is impossible to move the TV due to the conjunction of a shared wall, the window, and the fireplace. I'd like to get a bigger (55") TV but that would block over 50% of the light coming in from the window when we're not using the TV and just emphasize its vacant blackness. Ideally I'd like to open up the area under the TV to lighten things up. We only have a small amount of stuff under the TV now, having removed the DirecTV box, external hard drive, VCR, etc. I think a single drawer-height space narrower than the TV (48"/121cm) would fit everything we need. Since we don't use the Blu-Ray that much, it would be OK to have to open a door. I do want smoked glass or an opaque door or something to hide all the power strips and cabling and crap. (I see all these elegant console tables and want to scream, where are the eight AC adapters supposed to go?!?) If it were just one power cable and one HDMI cable I could see letting it hang down but it's 4 HDMI cables and audio out and a couple I'm probably forgetting. If you have made one of the aforementioned console tables work, I'm all ears on that as well.

I'm willing to spend some money to get the right piece, this one from West Elm isn't bad, but there's too much storage. Thinking something that's more like a single drawer or single skinny cabinet on longer legs. Wouldn't need to be high, the lower the better, actually. Ideal dimensions would be 32-40" wide (48" max), 12-36" high, depth isn't that important, maybe 10" minimum. Available in the US.
