1. MAHANCRIS 43.7” Floating TV Stand with Power Outlet, Wall-Mounted Entertainment Center, Floating Metal Frame Media Console Shelf for Under TV Storage, for Living Room, Bedroom, Rustic Brown TVHR101E01 — Middle listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 43.7″ L × 11″ W × 8.9″ H; item weight 14.1 pounds; material Engineered Wood, Metal; color Rustic Brown.

The MAHANCRIS is a wall-mounted TV stand listed at 43.7 inches long, 11 inches deep and 8.9 inches high, with an item weight of 14.1 pounds. It is made of engineered wood with a metal frame in a rustic brown finish. The listing says it has 2 standard outlets, 1 USB port, 1 Type-C port and a 4.9-foot power cord, and that it ships with two sets of wall-mounting brackets. It describes storage for media gear such as routers. The listing does not state how much weight the shelf can hold, so check that before placing a TV on it.

Pros

• The listing states built-in power: 2 standard outlets, 1 USB port and 1 Type-C port on a 4.9-foot cord
• At 43.7 inches long it is the shortest of the two TV-stand-style shelves, leaving more bare wall
• The listing says two sets of wall-mounting brackets are included

Cons

• The listing does not state a weight capacity, so it gives no figure for the TV you plan to put on top
• At 3.34 sq ft of listed footprint it is smaller than the HOOBRO, but still needs a 43.7-inch wall run
• The 4.9-foot cord limits where the shelf can sit relative to a wall outlet

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick it if you want a mid-length floating stand with USB and Type-C charging built in. Skip it if you need a stated weight rating before you commit to hanging a TV above it.

2. HOOBRO 55″ Floating TV Stand with Power Outlet, Modern Wall Mounted Media Console Shelf Cabinet for Under TV Storage, Entertainment Center, Living Room, Bedroom, Rustic Brown and Black BF11DS01 — Largest listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 11.02″ D × 55.12″ W × 7.87″ H; item weight 12 kg; material Engineered Wood; color Rustic Brown + Black.

The HOOBRO is the longest of the three, listed at 55.12 inches wide, 11.02 inches deep and 7.87 inches high, or 4.22 sq ft. The item weight is given as 12 kg and the material as engineered wood in rustic brown and black. The listing says it has 4 standard plugs, cutouts for hiding cords, and double hidden doors at both ends. The specs list 4 drawers, while the bullet text describes hidden doors, so confirm which you get. It states the 55-inch size suits 32 to 65 inch TVs. The listing does not state a weight capacity.

Pros

• The listing states 4 standard plugs, the most outlets of the three
• The 55.12-inch width is the longest, and the listing says it suits TVs from 32 to 65 inches
• The listing describes hollowed cord holes and hidden end doors for tidier cables and storage

Cons

• The specs list 4 drawers while the bullets describe hidden doors, so the storage layout is unclear
• At 4.22 sq ft it takes the most wall and shelf area, 4.22 – 3.34 = 0.88 sq ft more than the MAHANCRIS
• The listing does not state a weight capacity, and the 12 kg item weight means the wall mounting matters

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick it if you have a long wall and a larger TV to match, plus several devices to plug in. Skip it if the wall is short or you need clear drawer-versus-door details.

3. WALI 2 Tier Glass Floating TV Wall Shelf for Projector, DVD Players — Smallest listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 11″ D × 15″ W × 15.7″ H; material Stainless Steel, Tempered Glass; color Glass Black.

The WALI is a two-tier glass wall shelf, not a stand for the TV itself. The listing says each tempered glass shelf measures 15 inches by 11 inches and is 4mm thick, with a maximum load of 8kg (17.6 lbs). The overall listing size is 15 inches wide, 11 inches deep and 15.7 inches high, or 1.15 sq ft. It describes height-adjustable tiers, built-in cable management and a slim black bracket that protrudes 19mm from the wall. The listing names projectors, DVD players, cable boxes and game consoles as uses. It does not describe holding a TV.

Pros

• The smallest footprint of the three, 1.15 sq ft, so it fits on a short stretch of wall
• The listing says the two tiers are height adjustable
• The listing states built-in cable management and 4mm tempered glass shelves

Cons

• The listing names devices, not a TV, and states a maximum of 8kg (17.6 lbs), so it does not suit a TV on a floating shelf
• The listing text lists a 19mm wall protrusion alongside 11-inch-deep glass, so check the real projection before buying
• Each glass shelf is 15 by 11 inches, so only a few small devices fit

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick it if you need a small shelf under a wall-mounted TV for a console or a cable box. Skip it if you want a shelf that carries the TV.

What to check before buying tv on a floating shelf

For a TV on a floating shelf, the first question is what the shelf is rated to carry, and these listings answer it unevenly. The WALI states a maximum of 8kg (17.6 lbs), which fits devices. The MAHANCRIS and HOOBRO listings do not state a weight capacity, so a TV on either one rests on the seller’s word and your wall. Second, the wall and brackets. The MAHANCRIS lists two sets of wall-mounting brackets, and the HOOBRO has an item weight of 12 kg before anything is put on it. Both need secure anchoring into the wall, and the listings do not say what wall types they suit. Third, width against the TV. The HOOBRO is 55.12 inches wide and the listing says it suits 32 to 65 inch TVs. The MAHANCRIS is 43.7 inches long, and its listing gives no TV size. Fourth, power. The HOOBRO has 4 plugs, the MAHANCRIS has 2 outlets plus USB and Type-C, and the WALI offers cable management only. Fifth, depth. The two stands are about 11 inches deep, and the WALI glass is 11 inches deep. Check that the TV base and your devices fit within that. Sixth, storage clarity. The HOOBRO specs say 4 drawers while its bullets mention hidden doors. Decision rule: with a TV over 50 inches and several devices, look at the HOOBRO. With a shorter wall and charging needs, the MAHANCRIS. Use the WALI only as a device shelf under a wall-mounted TV.

Worked example: fit math for these three options

This worked example is our own planning arithmetic from the listed dimensions, not test results. The wall length and walkway width are assumed example values; replace them with your measurements.

Wall example. Assume 72 inches of clear wall.

• MAHANCRIS 43.7” Floating TV Stand: 72 − 11 = 61 inches spare; centred, 30.5 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• HOOBRO 55″ Floating TV Stand: 72 − 55.12 = 16.88 inches spare; centred, 8.44 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• WALI 2 Tier Glass Floating TV: 72 − 15 = 57 inches spare; centred, 28.5 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.

Walkway example. The US Access Board gives 36 inches as the minimum clear width for an accessible route. That figure is a yardstick, not a rule for private homes. To keep 36 inches clear beside each product, the walkway between it and the opposite obstacle must be at least 36 inches plus its depth:

• MAHANCRIS 43.7” Floating TV Stand: 36 + 43.7 = 79.7 inches of total path width.
• HOOBRO 55″ Floating TV Stand: 36 + 11.02 = 47.02 inches of total path width.
• WALI 2 Tier Glass Floating TV: 36 + 11 = 47 inches of total path width.

Footprint. Depth × width, converted at 144 square inches per square foot:

• MAHANCRIS 43.7” Floating TV Stand: 43.7 × 11 = 480.7 sq in, or 3.34 sq ft.
• HOOBRO 55″ Floating TV Stand: 11.02 × 55.12 = 607.42 sq in, or 4.22 sq ft.
• WALI 2 Tier Glass Floating TV: 11 × 15 = 165 sq in, or 1.15 sq ft.

Mistakes to avoid

• Assuming every floating shelf carries a TV. The WALI states a maximum of 8kg (17.6 lbs) and names devices as uses. Two of these three listings state no capacity for a TV at all.
• Skipping the wall check. The HOOBRO weighs 12 kg and the MAHANCRIS 14.1 pounds before any TV is added. The listings do not say what wall type they suit, so confirm yours first.
• Buying by width alone. The HOOBRO is 55.12 inches wide, but the TV’s own stand or base must still fit on an 11-inch-deep top.
• Ignoring the outlet reach. The MAHANCRIS lists a 4.9-foot power cord. Make sure your wall outlet is within reach before you hang it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put a TV on a floating shelf?

Only if the shelf and wall are rated for it. The MAHANCRIS and HOOBRO listings do not state a weight capacity, so ask the seller. The WALI states 8kg (17.6 lbs) and describes devices, not a TV, so it is not meant for one.

What size floating shelf suits a 55-inch TV?

The HOOBRO is 55.12 inches wide, and its listing says the 55-inch size suits 32 to 65 inch TVs. The MAHANCRIS is 43.7 inches long and gives no TV size. Compare your TV’s stand width to the shelf width and depth.

Do floating TV shelves have built-in outlets?

Two of these do. The MAHANCRIS lists 2 standard outlets, 1 USB port and 1 Type-C port with a 4.9-foot cord. The HOOBRO lists 4 standard plugs. The WALI is a glass shelf with cable management and no listed outlets.

What should I check before drilling?

Check your wall type and the bracket hardware in the box. The MAHANCRIS lists two sets of wall-mounting brackets, but the listings given here do not say what walls they suit. Confirm the seller’s mounting instructions before you drill.
