Gold Steel and Black Glass TV Stand Media Console 1401 - Oval Top with Open Shelf

A gold stainless steel frame with vertical rod detailing down both sides is what makes this a piece of furniture rather than a box to hide cables in. Most TV units are solid cabinets that read as heavy and dominate a wall; an open frame with a black tempered glass top lets light and floor show through, so the console visually disappears and the room feels larger — which is exactly what you want under a screen that is already a large dark rectangle. The elongated oval shape with rounded edges softens it further and removes sharp corners at shin height. An open glass shelf takes a decoder, a console, a soundbar or speakers, keeping them ventilated and their remotes in line of sight.

Buying guide

Match the console to the screen rather than the wall: aim for a unit at least as wide as the television, and check the height so the middle of the screen sits near eye level from where you sit. An open frame is the right choice in a small sitting room, because seeing the floor beneath furniture is what makes a room read as larger — but be honest that open shelving displays your cables, so plan a couple of cable ties or a sleeve from the start. Open shelves do have one genuine advantage over closed cabinets: decoders and consoles run cooler, and heat is what shortens their life. On care, black glass shows every fingerprint and dust mote, so keep a microfibre cloth nearby; wipe the gold frame with a soft cloth only, since abrasives dull plating. Do not exceed sensible weight on a glass shelf, and check the frame fixings a few weeks after assembly.

How it compares

Against a closed TV cabinet, an open gold frame keeps a small room feeling larger and lets devices run cooler, though it shows your cables. Compared with a wooden media unit, glass and steel read lighter and modern. Against a wall-mounted shelf, this needs no drilling and moves with you. Against a solid stone-top console, tempered glass is lighter to move but shows fingerprints.

Is open shelving a problem?

How do I keep it looking good?
Black glass shows every fingerprint, so keep a microfibre cloth nearby. Wipe the gold frame with a soft cloth only — abrasives dull plating.
