How did we choose these fireplace TV stands?

We chose these fireplace TV stands after extensive research into the product category. We looked at renowned brands and reviews (both good and bad) and noted the top-rated TV stands for different style preferences. 

I also considered price when making these selections. It is why you'll see models ranging from$250 up to$600 -- we wanted to include choices for a variety of budgets.

Other factors impacting our decision were heating space and TV size. That way we could accommodate different room sizes and entertainment setups. 

Are electric fireplace TV stands safe?

Electric fireplace TV stands are entirely safe. They won't damage your TV or electronics from the heat they emit since they are built with safety in mind.

And they don't emit pollutants. So, you won't have to worry about them emitting carbon monoxide. 

However, it's essential to practice some safety guidelines regarding your fireplace TV stand, including never leaving the heater on for long periods, keeping flammable materials at least 3 feet away from the unit, and avoiding blocking the fireplace's air intake or vents.

Do electric fireplace TV stands use a lot of electricity?

As with conventional electric space heaters, the heater aspect of a fireplace TV stand will use a fair amount of electricity and could rack up your utility bill. However, if you're just using the flame effects, this won't use as much electricity as the heating function.

You can check your unit's energy consumption/requirements on the manufacturer's website or in the owner's manual. Doing so will help you determine whether it's the right fit for your space. 

Are there alternative fireplace TV stands worth considering?

The market is full of fireplace TV stands to consider. Retailers like Wayfair, Home Depot, and Amazon have great choices. In addition to our top picks, here are a few other fireplace TV stands worth looking into.
