Should I get a floor TV stand or a wood media console?

It depends on your room. Verified-purchase reviewers and r/hometheater threads favor floor/swivel stands when wall mounting isn't possible (rentals, brick walls) or when you want to swivel the screen, while wood consoles are preferred by shoppers who want storage for consoles, soundbars, and decor. Floor stands are typically cheaper; furniture-style consoles cost more but hide cables and clutter.
