During the middle of the twentieth century, a design movement known as midcentury modern (MCM) arose. Vibrant hues coexist with simple geometric shapes in this design aesthetic. For the first time in decades, there is a revolt against ornate detailing as new concepts are developed that combine the mass manufacturing and technology developed early in this century with a more positive perspective for the future.

It's hard to believe that MCM has been around for over seven decades. However, since our way of life has evolved so much and because your house is not a museum, the furniture from yesteryear may no longer meet your demands. Midcentury modern credenzas make excellent TV stands, as seen by the several examples I've seen. It's a beautiful piece of furniture, however storing your router and xbox in there is a bit of a challenge. So, today we're going to show you 10 MCM TV stands that fit the needs of families today.

1. Wlive Retro Brown Midcentury Modern TV stand

The WLIVE midcentury modern TV stand is stylish and has a unique wood grain, but it is also very useful. This TV stand goes well with a variety of modern decorations. It's not only a TV cabinet with storage space, but it's also a beautiful piece of furniture that you can put in your living room or bedroom. This entertainment center has a soft-close hinge, so it won't pinch or make a noise when it's closed. It also has 2 side cabinets with a lot of storage space. The open shelf can be moved around to make room for the TV box, router, game console, and other TV parts. There are holes in the back that let cables for different devices go through. This TV stand is made of engineered wood, which makes it stable and long-lasting. The foot pads on the legs keep your floor from getting scratched. The whole thing is 54.3" wide, 15.7" deep, and 18.9" tall. This TV stand can hold 50-, 55-, or 60-inch TVs. I love its size and how it looks. The size is great, and it looks like real wood but doesn't feel like wood. The look of mid-century modern is expensive. It was easy to put together, but the legs don't look like they screw in, so they'll be easy to take off. Maybe it was because I built it myself. But I wish they would think about screwing the legs in differently, like the middle one does. 

2. All Modern Esteban 57.5'' Sheesham Solid Wood TV Stand

The texture of this TV stand harkens back to the 1950s. Elegant lines and tapering legs evoke mid-century modern design in this TV stand made of genuine sheesham wood. With two open shelves, the cabinet doors display a carved hexagonal design that accentuates the inherent grain diversity of the wood. According to the manufacturer's website, assembly should take no more than 45 minutes. However, following the instructions, assembling the cabinet requires just the installation of the legs, which should take less than 20 minutes.
