Home Entertainment Storage Towers

| November 6, 2008

With all the devices that go alongside televisions (not to mention an over-abundance of gaming consoles), our television stand just doesn’t seem to house them all adequately.

I’ve been looking for a slim tower-style stand that would store all the electronics neatly and of course, at an affordable price. Ideally, I would like to spend no more than $200, preferably much less.

I don’t have existing furniture in this dark wood finish, nor in the antique styling, but it is certainly an attractive piece. I like the look of the doors and the generous amount of shelving inside.

Sauder Vinegate Storage Tower, Antiqued Paint

This one is a little more basic, though has a modern look with the steel poles. For those wanting a very low investment and not minding a particle-board construction, this is certainly an affordable choice.


Designs to Go 5-Tier Media Tower

I really liked this one for the glass and metal construction and the numerous levels of shelving. It has a sleek, modern look to it that would probably fit in well with the rest of my electronics and stand.


35″ Multilevel Component Stand

This walnut finish won’t really work for my room, but this contemporary-styled piece offers nice door-enclosed storage as well as some open shelves.

Skyline Audio Tower

I liked the clean, modern look to this stand. The two pull-out drawers can hide some of the wires and other unsightly components.


Urban Lane Audio and Storage Tower, Espresso

Here is a stand in an elegant dark cherry finish and frosted glass door for those wishing to hide the appearance of electronics when not in use. Though I like the rich look of this piece, this wouldn’t really coordinate with my current room scheme.
