How Do You Recycle And Repurpose Furniture To Make A TV Stand And Media Storage?
Recycling and reusing furniture pieces to use as a TV stand or media storage center is a great way to save money and keep items out of our landfills. A typical TV stand or media storage cabinet can cost hundreds of dollars at a store. Mine cost $5.00 plus the cost of paint! This is a sturdy, thrifty and attractive alternative to flimsy pressboard stands. First, you will need to decide what size furniture you will need. Determine the size you will need by measuring the width of the area that you will put your media storage cabinet in. If your television is mounted on the wall, be sure to measure the height of the TV to the floor so that you don’t get something that is too tall for the space. Now it’s time to go shopping!

Appropriate items to look for are dressers, buffets and small armoires. Ex
