Installation of a TV stand
TV Stand Installation
A well installed TV stand makes your living room safer, tidier, and more enjoyable. Whether you have a compact corner unit, a wide media console, or a stand with storage and cable routing, correct assembly and placement matter for stability and everyday use. We install TV stands with care, protect your floors and walls, and leave everything aligned and ready for your equipment.
What We Install and How We Work
We handle a wide range of TV stand styles, including flat pack models, modular units, and heavy timber or composite cabinets. If your stand includes drawers, doors, glass shelves, LED strips, or integrated cable channels, we assemble and set them up according to the manufacturer instructions. We also help position the unit so that it sits square, opens smoothly, and supports your TV and accessories securely.
Typical TV stand types
- Low media consoles with shelves, doors, or drawers
- Corner TV stands and compact apartment friendly units
- Stands with adjustable feet for uneven floors
- Units with glass doors or glass shelving
- Modular media systems that combine multiple sections
If your project includes additional home items to assemble or adjust, you can book related help through our furniture assembly services to keep everything coordinated in a single visit.
Safety, Stability, and a Professional Finish
TV stands carry valuable equipment and often sit in high traffic areas, so stability is a priority. We check that all fasteners are correctly seated, cam locks are fully engaged, and shelves are supported as intended. Where the design allows, we level the stand to prevent rocking and to keep doors and drawers operating properly. If a unit has adjustable hinges or runners, we fine tune them for consistent gaps and smooth movement.
Cable management and practical setup
Good cable routing reduces clutter and helps prevent accidental pulls. We guide power and HDMI cables through built in channels, leave access for future changes, and keep ventilation in mind for consoles and set top boxes. If you have a soundbar, games console, or router going inside the cabinet, we can suggest shelf placement that keeps devices reachable and cooling unobstructed.
Minor fixes during installation
Sometimes a stand arrives with small issues such as misaligned doors, loose hardware, or a drawer that binds. During installation we address common adjustments on the spot, including tightening, hinge alignment, and correcting drawer travel where possible. If you need more extensive help later, our furniture repair services can be arranged for ongoing care.
Before We Arrive, What to Prepare
A little preparation helps the installation go smoothly and protects your space. Please ensure the area is clear so we can lay out parts and assemble safely. If your TV stand is being delivered, check that all boxes are present and keep the instruction booklet and hardware packs together. If you are replacing an old unit, having it emptied in advance saves time and avoids risk to your electronics.
- Clear a working area near the final placement location
- Keep screws, fittings, and instructions in one place
- Let us know the TV size and approximate weight
- Identify any fragile flooring or tight access points

FAQ
How long does TV stand installation usually take?
Most TV stands take 60 to 120 minutes depending on size, storage features, and whether leveling and hinge adjustments are needed. Modular units or stands with many drawers can take longer.
Do I need to have tools or extra screws ready?
No, we arrive prepared with the tools needed for standard assembly. It helps if you keep the instruction booklet and all hardware packs that came in the box so nothing is misplaced.
Can you fix doors or drawers that do not line up after assembly?
Yes, we can adjust hinges, runners, and fasteners during installation to improve alignment and smooth operation. If parts are damaged or missing, we can advise on the best next step once we see the unit.
