A team of passionate home entertainment enthusiasts helping Australians create beautiful living spaces since 2019.
TV Stand Australia was born from a simple frustration: the overwhelming experience of shopping for home entertainment furniture online. Back in 2019, our founder James Mitchell spent three weeks researching TV stands for his new apartment in Sydney's Inner West. With countless options across dozens of retailers, confusing specifications, and reviews that seemed either fake or unhelpful, he realised there had to be a better way.
James teamed up with his university mate Sarah Chen, an interior designer with a keen eye for furniture quality and aesthetics, and together they launched TV Stand Australia. What started as a simple blog sharing their research quickly grew into Australia's most trusted resource for entertainment unit advice.
Today, our team of five includes furniture experts, home stylists, and content creators who share a genuine passion for home entertainment setups. We understand that a TV stand isn't just a piece of furniture—it's often the centrepiece of your living room, the focal point where family and friends gather for movie nights, gaming sessions, and weekend AFL marathons.
To help every Australian homeowner find the perfect TV stand without the stress, confusion, or buyer's remorse. We believe that with the right information, choosing furniture should be an exciting part of creating your dream home—not a headache.
Unlike generic furniture sites that simply list products, we take a hands-on approach to our recommendations. Our team spends countless hours analysing product specifications, reading through thousands of customer reviews, and when possible, physically inspecting units at showrooms across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. We understand the nuances that matter—whether that's the weight capacity needed for a 75-inch OLED, the importance of cable management holes positioned correctly, or how different timber finishes hold up to Australian humidity.
We're also proud to be 100% independent. While we do earn affiliate commissions when you purchase through our links (which keeps the lights on and allows us to continue providing free content), our recommendations are never influenced by these partnerships. We've turned down lucrative sponsorship deals from brands whose products didn't meet our quality standards. Your trust is worth more than any commission.
Our team brings together diverse expertise that informs everything we publish. We understand MDF versus solid timber construction, the pros and cons of different hinge mechanisms, weight distribution requirements for modern televisions, and how entertainment units interact with soundbars, gaming consoles, and streaming devices. We stay current with Australian interior design trends, from the ongoing popularity of Scandinavian minimalism to the resurgence of mid-century modern aesthetics.
We also understand the practical concerns of Australian living. That means considering everything from the compact apartments of Sydney and Melbourne to the spacious family homes in Perth's suburbs. We factor in Australia's unique climate challenges, shipping logistics from Amazon Australia's warehouses, and the assembly experience that awaits you when that flat-pack arrives at your door.
Whether you're a first-home buyer setting up your inaugural entertainment space, a growing family needing child-safe furniture, or a retiree downsizing to a more manageable unit, we're here to help you make an informed decision. Our guides, comparison tools, and personalised quiz are all designed with one goal: helping you find the TV stand that's genuinely right for your space, style, and budget.
