Editor's Notes
September 10, 2020:
The floating television consoles ranked here are compact, stylish, and functional, and provide the perfect accompaniment to the aesthetic values of a flat-screen television. They can be adorned with ornaments, illuminated with creative lighting, and embellished with a soundbar, to considerably improve your overall audio-visual experience. They also include cable management systems to hide unsightly wiring and provide the perfect housing for all your home entertainment systems.
When choosing your ideal television console, there are some things to take into consideration. These are the size of your television (and the amount it weighs, if you are standing it directly on top of the console), the size of your wall space, the size you wish it to project out from the wall, and whether you have a stud wall upon which to mount it. You should also consider the number of devices you have, and the amount of housing required of your console, as well as any storage and shelving you need to accommodate your peripherals, media, and other trinkets.
Of the models in this ranking, the 24/7 Shop at Home Calwin, Rockpoint Bisenzio, South Shore City Life, and Martin Furniture Shallow are all minimalist in their design, and function as little more than shelving units, albeit with the aforementioned cable management systems and flush mounting hardware. These are ideal if you wish to keep your devices on display and on hand, where they can be adjusted at a moment's notice.
If you wish to hide your media, controllers, and other peripherals, then the Manhattan Comfort Astor, South Shore Black Oak, Meble Furniture Fly Modular, SJYSXM Wall Mounted, Manhattan Comfort Cabrini, and the Meble Furniture Bari 200 all have concealed storage with either drop-down hatches, sliding doors, or drawers in which to keep essential items close at hand. Of these, the Meble Furniture Fly Modular and Meble Furniture Bari 200 both have programmable LED backlighting to add an element of ambiance to your living space and further enhance the aesthetics of your room.
