A big TV stand is good for more than just holding a large television and electronic accessories. Once it is no longer needed for entertainment purposes, it is still a valuable furnishing. Reuse it in one of many creative ways. I try to find a use for absolutely everything, and a big TV stand is no exception. I am using one in my daughter’s bedroom, and it no longer looks like it was designed specifically for a TV of any variety. Consider these creative options for reuse, and save money while repurposing a sturdy furnishing.

Reuse a Big TV Stand to Hold an Aquarium

An aquarium requires a very sturdy form of support, especially a large tank that holds dozens of gallons of water. A big sturdy TV stand will work to hold an aquarium. For safety reasons, make certain that it can fully support the weight. It will be lower than a typical aquarium platform, but a lower height could be ideal in some situations. I have friends that are little people, and they purposely chose a big sturdy TV stand for their aquarium because of the lower height. It might be a great way to reuse a big TV stand in your home too.
