We have to warn you: You might very well end up staring at this super stunning media console more than you do at your TV. With its classic sophistication and vintage detailing, it’s hard to tear your eyes away from this beauty! The 19th-century inspired piece is handcrafted with kiln-dried solid oak in four available finishes.
Brass or pewter-toned corner brackets allude to antique travel trunks, and the metallic hardware carries over to the handles and pulls of the tempered glass cabinets and three drawers. Behind the console you’ll also find cutouts through which you can feed your television’s cords. Our favorite finish? That deliciously rich black oak. Swoon.

It’s hard to resist fawning over this piece from Anthropologie. And its deep, lush blue hue is only the beginning… Yes, the fab finish stands out in a sea of beige and natural-toned furniture, but have you seen that carving?! The intricate, medallion-patterned design is what boho dreams are made of.
Although technically marketed as a dresser, this 67-inches-wide piece makes for a unique (and straight-up striking) TV stand, if you ask us. The six drawers slide out smoothly on wooden glides to store remotes and a variety of odds and ends, and anti-tip hardware is included for the gold-star in safety.

As far as rustic-style furniture goes, this TV stand, courtesy of Restoration Hardware, easily wins top prize. Gorgeously weathered and stunningly textured, it features reclaimed peroba rosa wood (expertly curated from old barns and other structures) and looks completely natural and organic, thanks to the unique variations in the grain—like it was all just harvested from the forest.
We also love the Stonehenge-esque, geometric shape of the planks, as well as the surprise of two drawers on either side to stash remotes, user manuals, and more. The entire console sits atop a sturdy metal base and is available in two finishes: a light grey ash, as well as a deep, rich brown.
