The pair of curved slatted doors is what decided it for us. They slide across the front on metal rails, so a shelf of cables, a set-top box and a stack of controllers goes from on show to shut away with one push, while the open middle bay stays available for whatever you reach for daily. That is what storage on a TV stand is actually for, and it is why this is the console we point most living rooms to.
It is also the most furniture-like piece in this group. The legs are solid rubber wood rather than the plastic the cheaper stands here use, the chestnut walnut finish is a laminate but a convincing one, and at 58 inches wide it takes a 65-inch set almost edge to edge without looking crowded. The 15.7-inch depth is a sensible middle ground — deep enough for a soundbar box or a games console, not so deep that it eats the room.
Two things to weigh. At 21.7 inches tall it sits lower than the barn-door consoles here — comfortable from a low sofa, less so from a tall recliner. And check the 15.7-inch depth against your receiver: a full-size AV amp needs the open middle shelf rather than a closed bay.
