The fact that the TV is, with rare exceptions, in every home is an indisputable fact. And in every family it is placed in different ways. There are models that are hung on the wall with brackets, as I described. But more than half of all the "boxes" are installed on the floor. For this, you can find various stands or racks on sale. However, many home owners consider the stand not only as the location of the TV, but also as a piece of furniture, which should fit organically into the overall design.
On the one hand, it should ennoble the place where it is located, and on the other - be "in the shade" of the TV, not too striking. And it is desirable that she had a shelf. At least one, in order to place the remote control, which is always "lost".
A variety of stands are now sold in furniture stores, so you can buy. But life constantly proves that the law of "meanness" acts inexorably. If you like some kind of support, then it just does not fit in its size to a specific location. Therefore, it's better to make such a stand for TV with your own hands. The simplest and simplest design is made of glass and metal. It is this style of decoration of the living rooms that is increasingly becoming fashionable.
How to work
First you need to determine the size of the stand and the number of shelves. It is better to draw a sketch of what you want to get as a result. This is not difficult, especially if you look at the store for ready-made stands and imagine what you would like to change here. The top shelf is one solid, it's clear. But the intermediate can be either continuous, or combinations of individual fragments( which, naturally, is more difficult to do).
Glass is bought thick. As an option - glue two thin, but this will only add work. Stands of chrome-plated metal pipes can be found in stores selling furniture fittings( for example, there I bought accessories for a bar rack).There you can buy and legs with wheels.
The most difficult part of the job is to properly mark the places for drilling holes in the glass. Coincidence should be ideal at all levels. Otherwise, when assembling the structure, if it is skewed, the glass may burst when the screws are tightened. Drills are special, for glass. The process is simple, but requires attention and accuracy.
When all the blanks are ready, it will not be possible to assemble the stand of labor. It is clear that it is easier to buy. However, if you make it yourself, you can choose the size, the number of shelves, their location, configuration. And if you order, it will cost even more.
If desired, the glass can be toned, polished. And most importantly, there will be experience in manufacturing. And if by chance the regiment will be broken, then the whole stand will not have to be thrown away, since it will be possible to repair it yourself.
