Models worth comparing

From manufacturers' specifications and published UK reviews, read on 6 October 2026. Not tested by us. In no particular order: these are not ranked, and we do not say which is best until the customer ratings are in.

Budget

IKEA LACK TV bench 160

Renters and first homes that need a low, wide stand for a big TV without spending much.

Suits TVs up to 63 inches within its weight limit
Rear opening gathers cables in one place
Light honeycomb construction is easy to lift and move

Watch out for: Open shelves only, so there is nowhere to hide clutter, and the board is lightweight honeycomb rather than solid timber.

Dimensions: 160 x 35 x 36 cm (W x D x H)
Max TV size: 63 in
Max load on top: 30 kg
Storage: Open shelves, 25 kg per shelf
Materials: Particleboard with honeycomb paper filling, fibreboard

Sold by IKEA, not on Amazon.

Mid-range

IKEA BESTÅ TV bench with doors

Tidy-minded households that want a long, closed unit to hide set-top boxes and consoles, with a floating wall-hung look.

Takes TVs up to 72 inches
Doors hide kit, with adjustable shelves inside
Cable outlet at the top feeds wires neatly into the cabinet

Watch out for: This version hangs on the wall, so you need a wall that can take the fixings and a careful install.

Dimensions: 180 x 42 x 38 cm (W x D x H)
Max TV size: 72 in
Max load on top: 30 kg (TV weight)
Storage: Doors, 3 adjustable shelves, 20 kg per shelf
Materials: Particleboard and fibreboard, nickel-plated steel hinges

Sold by IKEA, not on Amazon.

Premium

Heal's Lars TV Unit

Design-led living rooms that want a colourful, furniture-grade media unit rather than a plain cabinet.

Mix of two drawers and a pair of cupboards for open and hidden storage
Walnut frame with a painted moss-green finish
Heal's two-person crew delivers and assembles it

Watch out for: The painted finish is a strong look that will not suit every room, and Heal's does not publish a TV size or load limit.

Dimensions: 158.4 x 40 x 53.5 cm (W x D x H)
Storage: 2 drawers, 2 cupboards
Materials: Walnut frame, matt painted finish
Assembly: Assembled by delivery crew

Sold by Heal's, not on Amazon.

Pro

ercol Romana IR TV Unit

Buyers who want a solid oak heirloom unit that hides boxes behind doors while still letting remotes work.

Solid oak, made in the UK and delivered fully assembled
Built-in IR eye passes remote-control signals to hidden boxes
Two soft-close drawers plus a cupboard with an adjustable glass shelf

Watch out for: Lead time is long, with delivery quoted at around 13 weeks, and at 108 cm wide it suits mid-sized TVs rather than very large screens.

Dimensions: 108 x 45 x 55 cm (W x D x H)
Storage: Cupboard with adjustable glass shelf, 2 soft-close drawers
Materials: Solid oak, clear matt lacquer
Assembly: Delivered fully assembled
Made in: UK
