Pedestal Stands
One category of LCD TV stand that doesn’t get nearly enough attention is the pedestal stand. Many people I know don’t even know that this style exists at all, or if they do they have no idea of what it refers to. Even fewer know that the pedestal stand comes in two distinct styles. The pedestal stand is a great way to make show off your television if you’re short on space or if you like minimalism. Either way, it is a good idea to learn more about this distinct style of LCD TV stand.
What really sets a pedestal stand apart from other TV stands is that the screen itself is mounted at the back onto a single columnar support. The support is reminiscent of classic pedestals, which is where the design gets its name. These stands sometimes include some shelving, but are most often minimalistic in style and feeling. It’s not uncommon to see one that’s literally just the pedestal itself, with nothing else at all.
The great thing about pedestal stands is that they barely take up any more space than the LCD screen itself. This is perfect for smaller apartments or tighter spaces where you may not have the room for a big and bulky piece of furniture. These are also great for businesses who want to have display screens in key locations without blocking sight to merchandise or marketing materials. Another great place to put one is in one of the nooks in your conservatory. Conservatories are meant to feel comfortable and relaxing, so you don’t want to stifle the atmosphere with a giant and obtrusive TV stand.
The second type of LCD pedestal TV stands is the desktop design. This is a really great way to make use of your space, and is perfect for desks and conference tables. In this incarnation of the pedestal stand, the pedestal refers to a single columnar mount which is attached directly to the desktop surface. This is really perfect for conference calls when you have video support, and makes a huge difference in effectively communicating with people. Another creative way to make use of this design is to attach the pedestal to a kitchen island. This allows you to watch your favorite cooking shows while you’re cooking, or catch the game while preparing dinner for the family. The desktop mounted LCD pedestal stand is perfect for filling all sorts of niches.
For those with little space but big ideas, LCD pedestal stands are a great way to express yourself and make the most of your area.
