60 inch tv stand

When you’re measuring up, you’ve got to be realistic. A 60 inch tv stand needs to be at least 130cm wide. That’s the bare minimum. Honestly? I’d go wider. If you buy a stand that’s exactly the same width as the screen, it looks top-heavy. Plus, you’ve got the legs to worry about. TV manufacturers are putting legs right at the edges these days. If your stand is only 130cm, those feet are going to be right on the brink. One accidental knock while you’re hoovering and the whole lot is coming down. I always tell people to go the next size up. It gives the room some breathing space and stops the telly from overhanging by those awkward few centimetres.

This isn’t some flimsy flat-pack rubbish you’ll be replacing in two years. This is Solid Oak. It’s a proper bit of kit. It’s going to have knots, it’s going to have grain patterns that don’t look like a computer printout, and yes, it’s going to be heavy. You’ll need a mate to help you move it. But once it’s in, it’s sorted. If you want something that stays looking brand new and sterile forever, go buy some plastic. If you want a Solid Wood TV Unit that actually lasts through kids, pets, and house moves, stick with the real stuff.

Or, if you’re just starting to kitting out the house, you can Earn 10% of Your Purchase Back in Reward Points which helps with the sting of the price tag. We aren’t the cheapest, but I don’t care. I’d rather sell you one TV Unit that lasts thirty years than five that end up in a skip.

“Found a 60 inch tv stand that actually holds the weight of my old plasma without creaking. It’s a beast of a unit. The delivery lads even put it exactly where the wife wanted it, which saved my back a job.”

Common Questions

Why can’t I just use a 100cm stand for a 60 inch TV? Because the TV will stick out over the edges. It looks terrible and it’s a massive trip hazard. You’ll end up clipping the corner of the screen every time you walk past.

Will the oak change colour over time? Yes. It’s a natural product. It reacts to sunlight. It’ll mellow and deepen. That’s the whole point of buying real wood.

Is it hard to look after? Not really. Don’t put it right next to a roaring radiator or it might move a bit. Use a coaster. Don’t use those nasty chemical sprays on it.

Does it come in pieces? Most of our Oak Castle Furniture units come fully built. No spending your Sunday afternoon swearing at an Allen key.

Is a 60 inch tv stand heavy? Yes. Don’t try to be a hero. Get someone to help you lift it or pay for the premium delivery so my lads have to do the sweating instead of you.
