Build a tv stand?
We bought a 60 inch tv, it does not fit on the stand we had. Any quick and easy plans for simple tv stand with one shelf. Thanks

Hang it on the wall and put a floating shelf beneath it
Good idea, thanks

Hi Peggy, I would check out Ikea! They have every type of tv stand or configuration imaginable and if it saves you the hassle of having to make your own, it would be worth a trip there. Yes, you aren't getting quality wood furniture but they do make it easy to get nice looking affordable furniture fast.
Having said that, I do love real wood;). If you really want to make one, here is a great tv. stand with a couple of shelves. Looks great!

Sure!!
Hi Peggy stacked crates would be a fun and inexpensive idea. Have you checked out your local salvage yard or thrift stores? You might be able to score a narrow shelf that you could lay on its side for very little cost.
Great ideas, I will check out the salvage yards. Thanks
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me.
Maybe try something like this? https://www.hometalk.com/21020537/reclaimed-wood-black-pipe-tv-stand

Why not try a floating shelf? If you put strong brackets on it would definitely hold a large TV
You're welcome, I have seen some nice live edge wood pieces being used as a floating shelf, which would look wonderful
If you are at all handy it can be very easy to cutdown an old entertainment center. Remove the top which will be reattached. Determine how high you want it and cut the unwanted cubicles off. You can use any removed pieces to create added dividers if needed. Then reattach the top and you are ready with a new "console" height.
Great idea, thanks
