Most versatile — Salamander Designs Chameleon Collection Oslo 247
All of the TV stands in Salamander's aptly-named Chameleon series are built on the "C-frame," a sturdy aluminum chassis. The frame supports many different styles of door and side panels, shelving options, feet or wheels, and accessories.
The Oslo 247 is our top-selling Chameleon series model. It features a thick black glass top and a rock-solid extruded aluminum frame that you can customize with Salamander Designs shelves, legs, and casters.
All Salamander Chameleon stands include two or more shelving bays. Some include a single- or double-width speaker compartment for your sound bar or center channel speaker.
To fully understand the quality and value of the American-made Salamander Designs products, you should visit their website and read a bit about their company history and design philosophy. Or watch the following video.
Salamander and Crutchfield have developed a strong partnership, based on a shared dedication to customer service and lifetime satisfaction. We display a wide selection of their AV furniture, and we can special-order styles and configurations that aren't shown on our site.

Best corner TV stand — BDI Corridor 8175
Placing your TV in a corner is a good way to save space. It’s also a good alternative to a wall-mount above the fireplace, which is never a great idea. The BDI Corridor 8175 supports a TV with a screen size of up to 55", and it can hold as many as eight AV components. The top compartment is a great spot for a sound bar or center channel speaker.
The soft-close louvered doors permit sound and remote control signals to pass. The removable back panel gives you easy access to your cable connections. Slots in the bottom panel, back panel, and shelves provide ample ventilation to keep your components from overheating. Cable management channels help you keep your connections nice and tidy.
If you like the look of the Corridor 8175, but aren’t putting your TV in a corner, rectangular models are available. The larger Corridor stands accommodate much bigger TVs. The video below shows a range of Corridor models, some of which have hidden wheels built-in. The 8175 does not have wheels.
Details
- for use with TVs up to 55"
- real wood construction
- removable, ventilated back panel
- 50-1/4"W x 25"H x 20"D
- limited lifetime warranty
Best for home theater systems — Salamander Designs Synergy System Quad 245
The Salamander Designs Synergy series doesn't come in as many different styles as the Chameleon series, but it's just as sturdy, and it shares much of the same functional versatility. The Quad245 will accommodate TVs up to 90". The speaker shelf has enough space for a huge center channel speaker. And the perforated door panels let remote control signals pass through.
If you want to proudly display your AV components, you can leave the Quad 245's doors off. Or better yet, buy the more affordable Module SL20, which doesn't come with doors. It accommodates TVs up to 75".
Details
- for use with TVs up to 90"
- 4 compartments for components, plus open compartment
- removable compartment doors
- ventilation openings to keep components cool
- removable back panel for easy access
- anodized aluminum frame
- cabinet can be wall mounted (must be mounted to wall studs or anchored to a brick, block, or concrete wall)
Best swivel base — Sanus VSTV2
The Sanus VSTV2 solves a bunch of problems. Suppose you want to place your TV on top of a cabinet you already own. But the distance between the TV's legs is greater than the width of your cabinet (or too close for comfort). The VSTV2 provides a stable base that fits comfortably on your furniture.
Say you want to place a sound bar or center channel speaker in front of your TV, but the speaker is taller than gap between your cabinet's top and the bottom of your TV screen. The VSTV2 lets you raise the TV up a few inches.
Or say you need to swivel your TV, either to face different seats at different times or to deflect the glare from a window that faces the screen. The stand that came with your TV can't do that.
Details
- for TVs 40"-86"
- weight capacity: 125 lbs.
- swivel range: ±35°
- base footprint: 23-5/16"W x 16-13/16"D
- pillar height: 27-1/4" to 35-5/8"
- accommodates VESA mounting hole patterns from 100 x 100 to 600 x 400
