A low profile console is the correct proportion for a television, because a screen sitting too high forces you to look up from a sofa — a standing-height unit is the most common mistake in living room furniture. The TVM1278 keeps the screen at seated eye level and provides multiple pull-out drawers beneath it for decoders, consoles, remotes, cables and the accumulation that otherwise ends up on top of the unit. The dark marble patterned surface with a refined grey finish gives it presence without competing with the screen, and marble patterning is practical in a living room: it hides dust and fingerprints far better than a plain gloss.

Buying guide
Position the screen so its centre sits at roughly seated eye level, which for most sofas means a unit no taller than about 50cm. Measure the console against the television: the unit should be at least as wide as the screen, and ideally wider, or the arrangement looks top-heavy. Plan cable routing before pushing it against the wall — leave a gap behind for plugs and think about where the socket is. Keep one drawer for cables specifically, since mixed drawers are how HDMI leads disappear. Re-tighten fixings after a month if you assemble it.
How it compares
Against a tall media cabinet, a low console keeps the screen at the right height for a seated viewer. Against an open TV stand, drawers hide the clutter that accumulates around a television. Against wall mounting the screen, a console gives you storage as well as support.
Frequently asked questions
How tall should a TV console be?
Low enough that the screen centre sits at seated eye level - for most sofas that means no taller than about 50cm.
Should it be wider than the TV?
At least as wide, ideally wider. A console narrower than the screen makes the whole arrangement look top-heavy.
How do I manage the cables?
Leave a gap behind the unit for plugs, plan the route before pushing it back, and keep one drawer exclusively for cables.
