Installing the TV on the wall is the most preferred way to have the TV in the living room these days. However, TV floor stands are still made and sold. In fact, they do not seem to be phasing out of the market. To the contrary! New models are released every single year. They are becoming bolder and more modern.
Why is this product still in the market in many countries? The TVs have changed, so has the way people decorate their houses. However, a TV stand floor has proven to be a “stubborn” product, with a lot of resilience in the market. Let’s find out why.
Installation
Installing a TV on the wall is not an easy task. First of all, it is not a one-man job. It is necessary for at least two people. You also need a set of tools and equipment for the task, and if you do not have them, you need to consider buying them. After all that, you need to know what to do, and if you are not a DIY person, it is something quite complicated. Last but not least, you need to find a wall mount for monitor suitable for your TV.
By choosing a TV stand floor, all the work mentioned above is avoidable. All you have to do is to select a model that suits your needs, the decoration of your living room, and is compatible with your TV. Bring the stand home, get it off the box and you are all set. It cannot get easier than that!
Portability
TV stands are easy to move around. So if you get tired of having the TV in the same place you can simply move the stand. Some stands are designed with wheels; this is particularly beneficial to businesses that have the stand in a conference room. The TV can be placed anywhere in the room depending on the number of participants in the meeting or conference.
If the TV is mounted on the wall, moving it is virtually impossible. You can still remove the TV and install it in a different place, but the previous location on the wall it was previously installed needs to be repaired. For that reason, TV floor stands are a great option for people living in temporary accommodation or short-term rental agreements.
Cost
When dealing with a TV floor stand, it is easy to know exactly how much you are about to spend. However, if you prefer to mount the TV on the wall, you need to consider the cost of installation, wall mount, tools, and possible repairs if things go wrong. So, if you have a tight budget and cannot afford unexpected costs, a TV stand probably is the best option for you.
Modern Models
TV stands come in different shapes, forms, and sometimes even colors. If you find a model of TV floor stand you like or that matches with the living room, it becomes a piece of decoration. Besides, they can come with some storage shelves or drawers. Having the TV mounted on the wall all you have is the TV and that is it. It makes the environment clean, but it may lack a bit of decoration.
Final Words
As you can realize now, a TV stand can offer many benefits that a TV wall mount cannot. You should not be taken by the trends of having the TV installed on the wall if using a simple, inexpensive and straightforward TV stand suits your circumstances better.
