A black finish on your tv stand is one of the best options for a tv stand. Black establishes an eye-catching relationship between the rest of the living room decor and your tv stand. It also makes the furniture complement each other. The black finish will most likely blend in with the rest of your decor and walls unless you choose a different option. The tv stand itself won’t stand out, but you can use elements around it that do. For example, white flower vases are a great bet. The exact role can be taken on by the area rug or the lighting in the room. Each black tv finish stand has its own set of properties, which allow it to stand out in various ways and to interact with the surrounding space in its path. However, the black finish will easily show dust hence making you clean more. This finish does not take scratches and dents well, therefore expensive to maintain.

A distressed tv stand is a unique way to enhance and style your home. A distressed tv stand typically shows signs or elements of ‘distress’, namely uneven paint finishes or vivid wood detailing.

Medium density fiberboard, or MDF, is a manufactured wood product that is made of broken-down hardwood or softwood fibers and a resin adhesive.

The pinewood species produces tv stands that are durable and strong. It’s also slightly lighter compared to other woods in the same species. This wood is also very stiff. However, the wood is not quite strong, but it does offer durability. Stands made using this wood are usually elegant and eye-catching. The wood takes paint very well, making it friendly for kids. Because pine is a softwood, it's prone to scratches and dents. They also develop a lovely, rustic patina from age and use, resisting shrinking and swelling. This wood species produces decent tv stands that have different styles. It may not last as long as oak, but pine is still a strong, shock-resistant material suitable for furniture, particularly if you like the rustic or country styles. While furniture made from pine is still moderately heavy and sturdy, it is lighter than oak. Pine has its benefits, such as wood hardness, color, and durability. It depends on what you need as to which is better for you. The wood is also resistant to rot and decay, making it a good choice for durable tv stands.

Softwood wood species is easier to work with, and it’s used to make elegant tv stands. The wood can be cut using machines into desirable shapes, producing a good tv stand. The lower density of softwood timber means it's weaker and less durable. However, there are some 'hard' softwood options with a higher density making stylish tv stands. The wood being soft, can easily be attacked by termites and other wood borers, making your stand weaker with time. They also come in more reliable sizes and qualities than hardwoods. The wood is also prone to scratches and dents. Softwood is not always suitable for high use like floors and can be easily worn down after periods. They have poor fire resistance, which should be considered carefully before placing stand down in different areas of your living room, where softwood might be exposed to those sorts of environments.
