3. Atlantic Centipede Game Storage and TV Stand

Our pick for best gaming TV stand for small TVs

The Centipede was deliberately built for console gamers. The primary material used to construct the Centipede is steel wire, so you can bet it will hold up to a thorough beating. An angry chuck of the controller after a 0-10 death spree? No problem, this stand will hold strong.

It has six controller holders, a center shelf that has enough room to fit 3 vertically standing consoles, and game racks on either side (which combined hold up to 12 games). There is also a convenient place to hang headphones and the like situated to the left and right of the TV stand. The aforementioned shelf fits up to 37” TVs and supports a weight of up to 80 pounds. It is pretty easy to assemble so you don’t have to dread the day it arrives and you have to put it together.

Unfortunately, this unit does not include a mount for your TV. Still— well played, Atlantic. They once again came through with a well-thought-out product that serves us gamers well.

Our pick for best small footprint TV stand

If you’ve got a behemoth of a TV, this may be your best bet (especially if you’re looking for a mounting solution). It fits up to 50 inch TVs and has a weight capacity of 70 pounds. A word of caution: this one has a glass shelf. If you frequently get into wrestling matches around your TV area, you may want to go with a different option.

5. Bestier Gaming TV Stand

Our pick for best TV stand for dorm rooms

View on Bestier

Earning a spot on our list this year is this stylish option from Bestier. They make a lot of different TV Stands that we considered for our list, so we even recommend just browsing their Amazon store. But their Gaming TV Stand & Entertainment Center was our favorite- especially for dorms or bedrooms- because of it’s minimalist look and small footprint. However, don’t let it’s size fool you! This tv stand is actually large enough to handle a 65″ TV.

The open shelving makes cord managment no problem, and the bottom shelf comes with a fabric drawer. The pre-mounted LED lights feature 20 modes and will truly level up any dorm space. The price point qualifies it as a reasonable purchase for a college kid, but keep in mind that the quality matches it. Don’t expect decades of use!

Furniture prices have skyrocketed in the last two years, as the cost of shipping increases and materials. So it’s become more challenging to find quality pieces on a budget. However, this year we found this basic 3-Tiered TV Stand from Convenience Concepts as the winner for our list. The style is modern and simple, which is also a huge bonus when it comes to assembly. Without complicated drawers or shelving, you’ll have this TV Stand ready for use in minutes without tools.

With so many options, Bestier has earned a couple of spots on our best TV stands roundup. Another great TV stand for gamers is their RGB TV Stand.

If you’re shopping for a new TV stand for gaming because you need more storage, one option is to just focus on game racks and towers. Here’s a few of our favorite multimedia storage systems worth adding to your gaming setups.

13. Prepac Espresso Altus

Our pick for best floating TV stand

The PrePac Wall Mounted Console is a nifty design. Two shelves with 15-inch depth can hold gaming consoles, soundbars, and other components. Underneath, you’ll find a place to put games, DVDs, and Blu-Rays. Their hanging rail system makes mounting a piece of cake. Even not-so-handymen (and women) can do it. There are cutouts in the back for cables to keep a clean, minimalist look. If you’ve already got a wall-mounted TV, this can be a great complimentary piece.

While we don’t recommend placing your TV on top, each shelf can handle up to 7lbs of product. Constructed from engineered wood, it’s also very durable and comes in a smooth cinnamon cherry finish. Assembly is required but can be completed in well under an hour. Overall, a great TV gaming shelf.
