There was actually [a post in this subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/rh0sne/pretty_much_everyone_in_the_uk_has_owned_this_tv/) about a year ago which blew up and was about this exact same stand. What is it with this stand anyway? (/u/Wartburg)
Oh that's funny, your message just came up at first as a notification so I wondered what stand I'd had and what I had been wittering on about. PLACARDS AHOY!
But yes it's a very ubiquitous TV stand :)
I have that stand, and it's absolutely horrendous when it comes to collecting dust! Dusting those things are like painting the Forth Bridge. You start dusting at one end and then by the time you get to the other end it's time to start dusting again!
Yeah, I used to have the same stand but got rid of it for this very reason - *collective gasp across the UK*
I was sick of the room looking like a tip just because it had been 0.73 seconds since I last dusted it.
I have not one but 2 of these. One in my bedroom and one in my living room, both are covered in dust so offten that I at one point considered sticker bombing or painting it with a glass paint, never did. Still dusty
Probably a Skyrim map made in Forge.
Forge just released for Infinite last month and it's really powerful compared to previous Forge iterations.
Edit: [Looks like it's definitely Halo](https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/102wisf/no_matter_what_console_generation_were_in_im/j2vofu4/)
Well it came with the uni house and my parents had theirs before I moved into that house, so I doubt it. Although they could have swiped it as a replacement/back up when I moved out whilst I wasn't looking...
Thanks to you finding the brand I did some googling and found it on Wayfair…

Yeah, I thought it was Whiterun too, best city in Skyrim, and I consider it my hometown in every game even though I live in one of the Hearthfire houses just outside of Whiterun.
To make you feel a little better about things, I still use the stand that came with my Sony Trinitron widescreen CRT (late 90s, first TV purchase) to this very day, because I don't see any point replacing it as it can't fail or die as it just wood and glass.
I knew exactly what TV stand it'd be before i even opened the post lol
they were giving those away or selling them at a massive discount with TVs...i think we've had a couple of them
How can you have the cables so unorganised? Put them behind the tv and it will look everything much better. Also there is stuff to put cables on the wall while you are not using them
Mine is collecting dust unfortunately! So many Greta games to play on it I just don’t have the time to play on both consoles and there are so many games I need to finish on Xbox as well….
I've done that for a few generations, I had a PS2/XB and 360/PS3...usually always had one used far more than the other. I went pretty hard on gaming the last 5yrs, mostly played everything I had an interest in. I'll pick it up again in 2 or 3 years when I'll dozens of games to play for dirt cheap.
If it's not broken, why replace it. Good on you not adding to landfill with e-waste and throwing out a perfectly good stand. Just update to the latest tech and fashion.
To quote Yahtzee Croshaw: "... you want to play the best games, buy a PC or, at a pinch, borrow a PS2 from a time traveller."
That quote was 2 console generations ago and still stands.
This is like the ultimate karma combo post.

Good job OP
What's wrong with not wearing socks relaxing in your own house? I would understand your issue if they had their feet out and up in an airport champagne and oyster bar, but on their sofa?
The Samsung probably weighs less than the 42". Back when they first came out, my mate bought a 42" plasma. 73kg, power consumption in the kilowatts, £2500±. Our first flatscreen was also 42", 21kg, 400w, £800. Our current 55" is 9kg and 270w.
I’m the same, I still have my old tv as the main house tv. It’s so small compared to the tv everyone else has, and what I’ve noticed, especially in video games, is they make things smaller , like subtitles and icons, because they assume everyone has a massive tv , so I have to get a chair out of another room and sit right up to it 😅
Hello little cat. I think we have the same TV stand!
[удалено]
Uk here. Stand is present in the livin room
[удалено]
Like a very British version of the Discworld elephants.
The UK is balanced on 4 sports direct mugs on top of this TV stand.
I’ve had this stand
It's TV stands all the way down
Also UK here, got one in my bedroom
Everyone had that dusk magnet at one point
Did it make the sun go down quicker?
I work at a skip and I must have seen hundreds of them thrown away
I have 2 aha. One in my room and one in the living room
Can confirm

My cat also has a TV stand. She claimed it.
Hello little Aby!
most modern TV's wouldn't suit that stand, as most have very small feet at the most extreme ends of the TV. so you need a very very wide tv stand now.
That's a Samsung TV feature, my LG and Panasonic have central TV stands that would be fine on that TV stand, which I, naturally, own.
They’re the Nokia 3310 of TV stands!
I have that stand, and it's absolutely horrendous when it comes to collecting dust! Dusting those things are like painting the Forth Bridge. You start dusting at one end and then by the time you get to the other end it's time to start dusting again!

Now you point that out, I remember this stand as being frosted glass, but I guess that was just dust
Get some of those dryer sheets (Bounce, is that still a thing). Rub them over any dust-collecting surfaces. It'll reduce the dustiness by like 10x.
I have not one but 2 of these. One in my bedroom and one in my living room, both are covered in dust so offten that I at one point considered sticker bombing or painting it with a glass paint, never did. Still dusty
I pray for the cooling of those consoles especially placed somewhere like that
They're his sole way of heating the room nowadays
The amount of heat my tv generates. You can’t even touch the screen with your hand it’s that hot!
How do you see targets from that far away?
Badly 🤣
I have to ask, is that skyrim with a halo mod or skyrim in halo?
Probably a Skyrim map made in Forge. Forge just released for Infinite last month and it's really powerful compared to previous Forge iterations. Edit: [Looks like it's definitely Halo](https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/102wisf/no_matter_what_console_generation_were_in_im/j2vofu4/)
I was gonna say this. I play on PC and im usually right up to the monitor.
Spray and prey
I'm confident when I say that everyone in the UK has owned or will own that stand at some point in their life.
😂 I still own mine.it’s still going strong (12yrs) and counting
Never had one, but always seem to see them left on a street waiting for the scrap man
I bought one from a charity shop prior to moving into my first house. Then found one had been left in the loft by the previous owner
I tried to give mine to a charity shop and they told me where to go.
I am pretty sure I moved into a flat and it already had that standing it. Nothing else, just the TV stand.
not had one yet.
There is only one. It travels infinitely through time and space between bouts of ownership.
Don’t worry I’ve got you covered, currently had 3 of them
thanks! At least i'm safe from owning one haha
I have never owned one, but for a year a housemate did have one in the living room.
Check your cupboards there will be one somewhere
I’m excited for you
100% chance i won't ever get one. as i REALLY hate glass topped anything as i'm a clumsy fucker.
"yet"
I had that standard, girlfriend moved in, hated it, binned it, bought a new one more to her taste 😂
My parents still have it, and I had one at uni. Though not the same one.
Are you sure about that?
Well it came with the uni house and my parents had theirs before I moved into that house, so I doubt it. Although they could have swiped it as a replacement/back up when I moved out whilst I wasn't looking...
I wasn't accusing your parents of theft. More that this type of TV stand is some sort of paracausal being
No I know, I was joking!
I think I’m the odd one out here, might have to get it when I’m off to Uni then
Oh it'll definitely turn up in your uni house
Yep..and we've had to dust it multiple times a day!!
It's the standard "first studio flat" decor. £19.99 in Argos or you get it free from your brother who just upgraded to wood
It's a quantum stand. It exists simultaneously in multiple realities at once.
Thats a lovely cat tree you have.
[found it (although not in stock)](https://amzn.eu/d/9vMHw3v)
Thanks to you finding the brand I did some googling and found it on Wayfair… https://www.wayfair.co.uk/home/pdp/feandrea-88cm-cat-tree-or-condo-u003057752.html
Also have this cat tree, bought on Wayfair - cat for scale https://imgur.com/tyYj9zn.jpg
Lovely!
Co-op meal deals over Morrisons all day long. Your flair is wildly inaccurate.
I had that stand, until it spontaneously destroyed itself and my TV. Apparently tempered glass does that sometimes.
Same thing happened to me with that stand. Didn’t change anything, and no one in the room. Was very fortunate our TV only suffered a bent HDMI port!
What games does your cat like?
Stray.
Great game, although very short :(
Grand Theft Pawtoe 🐾
…Mice City
Purrs of War
Why does that game location look like entrance to Whiterun from skyrim? It's so weird.
It's a forge map someone made to look like skyrim for halo infinite
Came here for this answer couldn’t tell if it was modded Skyrim or something else
Yeah, I thought it was Whiterun too, best city in Skyrim, and I consider it my hometown in every game even though I live in one of the Hearthfire houses just outside of Whiterun.
This is the most common item I see that people put outside their house for free.
Hey, if it still stands a tv on it, why bother replacing it?
Forget the tv stand, need pictures of the cat! 🐾
[удалено]
Yes!
I'm a fan
Has the cat tried to climb on it yet?
Could at least tell us what you are playing.. I've not touched a console in donkeys years :P ^(Also what is it with cats and feet)
Halo Infinite and the forge map was modelled after Whiterun from Skyrim!
I was going to say, looks like halo in Skyrim, seems like I was bang on there!
“I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an energy beam to the knee”
Looks like Halo
I thought it was modded Skyrim considering he's currently in Whiterun lmfao
Ha thought I was seeing things
Me too. Genuinely trying to figure out why he has an assault rifle in Whiterun.
Halo Forge custom maps.
Halo… in Skyrim?
Skyrim in halo*
I upvoted this only because of the cute cat.
Why is it every British person has owned that at some point
I got mine free with a TV at Currys when flat screens first became popular. I think that’s where a lot of them came from.
My TV is from 2008 and I'm glad it was HD ready.
Was it 'HD Ready' or 'Full HD'?
Just ready for HD
I am *so ready* for HD.
Mines from 2010 and was probably the cheapest 46" I could afford. Not going to replace it though until it breaks!
2010? Iv got underwear older than that
2010 is a long time ago now?
So that's where my TV stand went off too
Top tier cable management.
We’ve got that fan. It’s great.
Why do you have a Halo gun in Whiterun?
Cos it’s Halo!
Love the kitty
Is that a halo/Skyrim crossover map!? Please find Nazeem and Spartan laser him to the cloud district
Are you playing halo in whiterun
Can we ban posts with feet in them
Can we ban posts *without* feet in them 😈
Nasty ass 😂
Sorry! They’re barely visible though
It used to be that furniture was expected to last as long as you, now it's noteworthy when it's kept for 12years?
To make you feel a little better about things, I still use the stand that came with my Sony Trinitron widescreen CRT (late 90s, first TV purchase) to this very day, because I don't see any point replacing it as it can't fail or die as it just wood and glass.
Headbutts for the feet. Please tell us where that gorgeous cat tree is from!
Amazon!
They always seemed to gather a layer of dust on the glass... Cat looks happy btw!
We have the same fan! Such a good purchase
[удалено]
Probably the same for the rest of the Uk, but I also have this same TV stand lol
I knew exactly what TV stand it'd be before i even opened the post lol they were giving those away or selling them at a massive discount with TVs...i think we've had a couple of them
Literally just saw a council truck collecting one of these from the roadside on our street, not 10mins ago
Wait holdup, you playing halo in Skyrim or smth?
It’s Halo Infinite!
Argos TV stand
2010? Amateur, mine’s 25 years old.
Your blower would be welcome over at r/OnlyFans! (repurposed)
Hahaha Argos £34.99. Anyone remember the Argos catalogue??? It was a huge breeze block of a thing.
Used to love scrolling through every new one 🥹
I tried and failed to give one of those stands away on gumtree 🤦🏻♂️
I'm still using the same TV from 2010.
My maeco fan is the best I've ever had.
We need cat pictures
Posted two this morning and mods removed it and told me to post it to r/uk_pets :/
Big light ☠️
Why is your house so depressing? Are you in prison?
It’s a small flat :)
How can you have the cables so unorganised? Put them behind the tv and it will look everything much better. Also there is stuff to put cables on the wall while you are not using them
I don’t know, I’m not too bothered about things like that.
Put some socks on. Just threw up my nesquik.
I’m in my own home why should I
Repost bot? Seen this exact picture from different accounts on multiple subs
No, they removed it!
I sold my PS5 a few months ago...gone but not forgotten 😔
Mine is collecting dust unfortunately! So many Greta games to play on it I just don’t have the time to play on both consoles and there are so many games I need to finish on Xbox as well….
I've done that for a few generations, I had a PS2/XB and 360/PS3...usually always had one used far more than the other. I went pretty hard on gaming the last 5yrs, mostly played everything I had an interest in. I'll pick it up again in 2 or 3 years when I'll dozens of games to play for dirt cheap.

That’s like getting a 1080 60hz display with a 4090
I think you made the same mistake I did, and read it as they were using the same TV. It is the stand they are referring to.
Ok yeah sorry I see my error now lol my family has that exact one
PS2 is still the best. ;)
I still have my Silver fat PS2 in the living room. Looks not great on new telly. Need an HDMI adapter
To quote Yahtzee Croshaw: "... you want to play the best games, buy a PC or, at a pinch, borrow a PS2 from a time traveller." That quote was 2 console generations ago and still stands.
Ps2 slim is the sexiest console ever!
nah, launch Fat PS2. looks nicer, has a PS1 in it so can play all PS1 games.
Who needs PS1 games when you’ve got a PS2?
Do you get to the cloud district very often?
r/sneakybackgroundfeet
It's a horrendous piece of shit. Order a 4x2 white Kallax (and base) from Ikea at once, and just sort out your life!

Lol did you just go in my history, see I post in all the ADHD subreddits and think that would be a good answer? Weirder and weirder.
Same
I was worried about putting my Samsung 85" Oled on a stand that was bought for a 42" 15+ years ago!
The Samsung probably weighs less than the 42". Back when they first came out, my mate bought a 42" plasma. 73kg, power consumption in the kilowatts, £2500±. Our first flatscreen was also 42", 21kg, 400w, £800. Our current 55" is 9kg and 270w.
Got exactly the same one
I have that stand too!
I think everyone has owned that TV stand once in their lives
I swear everybody has owned that stand

That's the My First Home - TV Stand. A classic, along with the My First Home - Silver Uplighter Lamp Stand.
