TV Stand Fireplaces

If you want a design that offers a dual function, look for a TV Stand fireplace. These models are made to hold your television and often include extra storage for media components. These fireplaces are great in more casual spaces, like a rec room.

Be sure to check the maximum weight and size capacity of the unit, to make sure it can hold your television.
