65 Inch TV Stand: How to Pick the Right One for Your Living Room

If you just bought a 65‑inch screen, the first question is: where do I put it? The right TV stand does more than hold the screen – it anchors the whole room. In the next few minutes you’ll learn how to measure, choose the right height, and pick a material that looks good and lasts long.

Size and Height Essentials

Start with the width. A safe rule is to choose a stand that’s at least half the TV’s width. For a 65‑inch set, that means a surface of about 30‑35 inches. Wider boards look balanced and give you room for a sound bar or decorative items.

Next, think about height. You want the middle of the screen to line up with your eyes when you’re seated. Most sofas sit at 18‑20 inches, so a stand around 20‑24 inches tall usually works. Measure your couch, sit down, and check the eye level – then match the stand height.

Don’t forget depth. Your TV’s stand will add a few inches, so make sure the cabinet is deep enough to keep the TV stable but not so deep that it blocks your view. A depth of 15‑20 inches fits most setups.

Materials, Style and Sustainable Choices

At Bamboo Tiger we love bamboo because it’s strong, light and eco‑friendly. A bamboo TV stand can handle the weight of a 65‑inch screen while adding a natural vibe to the room. Look for a stand with a solid core and a sealed finish to protect against spills.

If bamboo isn’t your thing, metal frames or reclaimed wood are solid alternatives. Metal gives an industrial look and can hold heavy sets, but watch for sharp edges. Reclaimed wood adds character and recycles old material, which is great for the planet.

Cable management is another practical point. Choose a stand with built-in holes or a back panel that hides wires. Clean lines not only look neat but also make it easier to keep the area dust‑free.

Weight capacity matters. Check the product specs – most stands for large TVs list a limit of 80‑100 kg. If you have a heavy sound system or a wall‑mounted shelf on top, add that to the total weight before you decide.

Finally, style. A TV stand should blend with the rest of your furniture. If your living room features modern pieces, a low‑profile bamboo stand with clean edges fits right in. For a classic look, pick a stand with turned legs or a subtle grain finish.

Putting it all together: measure your TV, match the height to your seating, pick a material that fits your style and supports the weight, and plan for cable routing. With those steps you’ll end up with a stand that looks good, stays sturdy, and respects the environment.
