Instead of using a short, flimsy tv stand to hold your television, consider placing your tv on top of a dresser. The storage of a long but not-too-tall dresser cannot be beat! You can use the space to hide video games, board games, dvds, and more. If your living room is in close proximity to your kitchen, you can use the dresser to store extra table linens, centerpieces, candles, or dishes. The cords of electronic equipment can be hidden behind the dresser, far from view. A used dresser is often cheaper than a new tv stand, though the former is much more useful than the latter. Plus, many tv stands are so low to the ground that the full screen cannot be seen from the perspective of someone laying on a couch. A tv placed on top of a short dresser cannot be missed. If you already have an unused dresser, great. If not, do know that you can find one at an affordable price. I found this dresser on Craigslist for just $45, but even the cheapest tv stands tend to be at least twice, usually three times that price. After searching for several weeks, I was able to identify a dresser at the right price in a wood tone that matches my coffee table. This is just one of many cases in which using a basic item in an unconventional way yields great results!
