They can get expensive and most will likely be larger than you want... (Side cabinets and all....) Are you handy with tools & wood? You can make the stand from wood. You want the base to be only slightly larger than the TV. Measure and make a pattern one inch longer/wider in each direction. You will need to cut 2 from this pattern. One will be the base, just an inch or 2 off the floor, and the other will be positioned at the heighth you want the TV to sit. Decide how high you want the stand. Add that height to the height of the TV and add a few inches for good measure. Cut 2 panels of wood this heighth, and as wide as at least the front depth of the TV. (It can go back as far as the whole TV if you desire...) Cut another piece the width of the side boards and long enough to bridge over the TV and connect the side boards. Assemble and stain a color that would compliment your other colors. That makes it not look as contemporary and doesn't cost $2000. Place the TV in it and enjoy!!!<br><b>References : </b><br> You can buy a wood entertainment unit to fit it… They can get expensive and most will likely be larger than you want… (Side cabinets and all….)
