The MAHANCRIS floating stand is the shallowest of the four, at 11 inches deep and 43.7 inches wide, with a 150 lb support rating. For a small room, a floating unit keeps the floor open, while the GYIIYUO floor console is the deepest at 15.74 inches and has two drawers, rated at 120 lb. The HOOBRO floating stand is 55 inches wide with a 220.5 lb capacity. The Furologee floor console has open shelves and a 160 lb maximum. Measure the wall, the depth and the outlets first, then check the wall type on the listing before you mount anything.

Floating or floor, and how deep

Start with the choice between a floating unit and a floor console. A floating unit shows more floor, but it depends on the wall and the mounting hardware. A floor console needs floor space in front, but it can rest on legs and hold more.

• Pick the MAHANCRIS if you want the shallowest unit in the group, at 11 inches deep, a 43.7-inch width, and two outlets plus USB and Type-C ports built in.
• Pick the HOOBRO if the wall is 55 inches or wider and you want hidden doors on both sides. Check the wall type first, because its bullets say it is not for cavity walls or gypsum board.
• Pick the GYIIYUO if you want drawers and a floor console. It is 15.74 inches deep, which takes more floor than the floating units.
• Pick the Furologee if you want open shelves for a console or a game system. Its depth fields conflict, so measure the depth yourself.
• Skip a floor console if the path in front of the wall is narrower than the console depth plus your walkway.

The fit rule is simple. Take the wall width, subtract the stand width, and split what is left between the two sides. Then measure the depth from the wall outward, and check that the route in front of the stand still meets the walkway you want.

Why an under TV stand matters in a small space

A wall-mounted television frees the floor below it, but the wall can still look unfinished. An under TV stand creates a visual base and gives media equipment a defined home. It can hold a game console, remote controls, streaming equipment, or decorative items while keeping the television wall organized.

Depth deserves close attention. A console that projects too far from the wall narrows the route through the room. The floating MAHANCRIS lists 11.0 inches deep, while the GYIIYUO lists 15.74 inches deep, a difference of 4.74 inches. That difference can affect a narrow walkway, a nearby chair, or the clearance in front of a cabinet.

Width also affects balance. A console much narrower than the television can look light, and one much wider can crowd nearby furniture. There is no single correct proportion, so use the wall, the screen and the nearby furniture as reference points.

For wall-mounted furniture, follow the supplied instructions and confirm that the wall can take the installation. Use the manufacturer’s mounting directions for the specific stand. The MAHANCRIS includes two sets of wall brackets and six expansion screws, and the HOOBRO lists the wall types it suits.

MAHANCRIS 43.7 in Floating TV Stand (B0DKFLDPLW)	Wall-mounted	43.7 x 11.0 x 8.9 in	150 lb support (bullet); item weight 14.1 lb	2 outlets, USB and Type-C; storage for media devices	October 9, 2026
HOOBRO 55 in Floating TV Stand (B09GB7HBXS)	Wall-mounted	55.12 x 11.02 x 7.87 in	220.5 lb capacity	4 outlets; 2 hidden doors, 4 compartments	October 9, 2026
GYIIYUO 55.1 in TV Stand with Fabric Drawer (B0CPSPGY3F)	Floor	55.1 x 15.74 x 21.65 in	120 lb maximum	2 drawers, open frame	October 9, 2026

Floor footprints for the two floor consoles are width times depth, divided by 144: the GYIIYUO is 55.1 x 15.74 = 867.27 sq in, or 6.02 sq ft, and the Furologee is 55 x 11.8 = 649 sq in, or 4.51 sq ft. The floating units take no floor space.

Key measurements and how to measure an under TV stand

Start with the wall where the television is mounted. Measure its usable width from the nearest obstruction to the other obstruction. Include trim, doors, windows, vents and corners. Record the result in inches.

Next, measure the available depth. Place the end of a tape measure against the wall and extend it to the nearest object that cannot move, such as a sofa, a coffee table, a radiator, a doorway or the circulation route. The available depth must be more than the stand’s depth.

Measure height in two ways. Record the distance from the floor to the bottom of the mounted television, and the distance from the floor to the bottom of the stand or shelf. This tells you whether the television and the console will look connected or separated.

Product pages use different labels, and some listing figures conflict. The floating MAHANCRIS gives 8.9 inches high in its size line and 9.84 inches high in its item dimensions. Its size line also calls 11.0 inches the width, while its item depth field gives 28 cm, about 11 inches. The Furologee’s item depth field conflicts with its dimension field, which gives 11.8 inches. Do not plan a precise mounting or fit from either conflicting figure. Use the measurement you take in your own room.

Note the clearance you need:

• Wall width: the number you took with the tape.
• Stand width: the product’s width in the dimension field.
• Left and right gaps: taken in the room, or half of the total gap.
• Stand depth: the product’s front-to-back measurement.
• Front clearance: the space you have in the room.
• Outlet location: behind the screen, behind the stand, or to one side.

Types and materials for under-TV storage

Floating under tv stand

The MAHANCRIS and HOOBRO are both floating units. The MAHANCRIS is made of engineered wood with a metal frame, with two sets of wall brackets. The bullets say it supports up to 150 lb. Its built-in power ports can help organize small devices, but they do not replace checking the outlet position. Confirm that the cable can reach the connection without crossing a walking route.

The HOOBRO is 55 inches wide and 7.87 inches high in its dimension field, with two hidden doors and four compartments. Its bullets say it has four standard plugs and hollowed holes for cords. Its listing says it suits concrete, wood and brick walls, and it is not for cavity walls or gypsum board. Its specification field gives a 220.5 lb capacity.

Floor console with drawers

The GYIIYUO is a floor console with two fabric drawers and an open frame. It is 15.74 inches deep, which takes more floor than the floating units but hides controllers and remotes. Its bullets describe a top surface that can take more than 120 lb, while the specification field gives 120 lb as the maximum weight. Keep the 120 lb figure in mind when you stack a soundbar and a heavy receiver on the top.

Open-shelf floor console

An open-shelf console keeps devices visible and easy to reach, which helps when equipment needs a remote signal or when you want quick access to cables. The Furologee has two open mesh shelves and four hooks, and its specification field gives a 160 lb maximum. The open design also shows cables and dust, so plan the cable route before you place the console.

Fit check with real arithmetic

Take one room so every measurement stays consistent. These values are assumptions: a 72 in wall under the television, a room 120 in deep, a sofa 36 in deep along the same axis, and a 36 in walkway.

Step 1: side gap on the 72 in wall.

• GYIIYUO: 72 – 55.1 = 16.9 in total, which is 8.45 in on each side if the stand is centered.
• MAHANCRIS: 72 – 43.7 = 28.3 in total, which is 14.15 in on each side.
• HOOBRO: 72 – 55.12 = 16.88 in total, which is 8.44 in on each side.

Step 2: depth left in the room. Subtract each stand depth from the 120 in room depth, then subtract the sofa and the 36 in route.

• GYIIYUO (15.74 in deep): 120 – 15.74 = 104.26 in, less 36 for the sofa, leaves 68.26 in, less 36 for the route, leaves 32.26 in of extra room.
• MAHANCRIS (11.0 in deep): 120 – 11 = 109 in, less 36, less 36, leaves 37 in.
• HOOBRO (11.02 in deep): 120 – 11.02 = 108.98 in, less 36, less 36, leaves 36.98 in.

All three fit the 72 in wall in this example. The floating units pass the depth check easily because their depth is about 11 inches. For a floating stand the route passes under the unit, so read this check as conservative. Outlets, trim, doors and other furniture can still change the usable area, so measure your own room with the furniture in place.

Who should buy an under TV stand?

Choose a floating model if floor visibility matters, the wall accepts the mounting system, and you want a shallow profile. The MAHANCRIS suits a narrower wall, and the HOOBRO suits a wall of about 55 inches or wider.

Choose a floor console if you want storage you can reach without mounting into the wall. The GYIIYUO suits storage behind its fabric drawers, which sit on an open frame, and the Furologee suits open storage for devices that need air.

Who should skip an under TV stand?

Skip a floor console if the depth in front of the wall would narrow the main route. A slim-looking piece can still create a pinch point near a sofa, doorway or corner.

Skip a floating console if you cannot confirm the wall type, the mounting location or the cable route. Do not choose a shelf only because its width fits. Its mounting hardware and the wall material must suit each other, and the HOOBRO is not for cavity walls or gypsum board.

Skip an open shelf if you want everything hidden. Open storage shows cables, controllers and dust. A drawer unit fits better in that case.

Common mistakes

Measuring only the television. The screen width does not tell you whether the stand will fit the wall. Measure the usable wall and account for the side gaps.

Using the wrong dimension label. Product pages list length, width, depth and height in different orders. Copy the labeled dimension instead of assuming the first number is the width.

Counting shared clearance twice. If the total gap on both sides is 16.9 inches, divide it by two. Do not treat it as 16.9 inches on each side.

Ignoring the room-depth axis. A console’s depth projects into the room. Measure from the wall outward, then place the sofa, table and route along that same axis.

Blocking outlets. A console can cover a receptacle or force a cable into a sharp bend. Mark the outlet before you pick the height.

Overloading one surface. A stated top rating may not apply to drawers or shelves. Keep each load within the rating for that part, and read the wall-support figure separately for a floating unit.

Frequently asked questions

What does an under TV stand do?

An under TV stand sits or mounts below a television and provides a visual base, equipment storage or cable organization. A floor model rests on legs or a base. A floating model attaches to the wall and leaves the floor open.

Is a floating under tv stand better for a small room?

It can be better when floor space and visible openness matter. The MAHANCRIS is 43.7 inches wide and 11 inches deep, and the HOOBRO is 55 inches wide and 11.02 inches deep. Check the wall type and the mounting instructions before you rely on either one.

How deep should an under TV stand be?

Compare the stand’s depth with the room depth you have. The GYIIYUO is 15.74 inches deep, and the floating units are about 11 inches deep. The Furologee’s depth fields conflict, so measure it on the product page or in the room.

Can an under TV stand hold a soundbar?

It may, but measure the soundbar and compare its length and depth with the top or shelf area. The listings do not give soundbar-clearance figures for these stands, so check your soundbar’s manual and the product page.

Should an under TV stand be wider than the television?

Not always. A wider console may look balanced, but the wall, side gaps and nearby furniture control the practical fit. Measure the television, the wall and the stand separately before you decide.
