So you bought that amazing flat-screen TV that makes your favorite shows a million times more enjoyable, but the TV doesn’t look quite right on that ho-hum stand you’ve had for decades. Time to get a piece of furniture worthy of your fancy new boob tube.

But pretty doesn’t have to mean pricey. Big bulky entertainment systems are out, and in their place comes beautiful, inexpensive stands that work in a room without overpowering it. We found nine stands under $350—and most hover in the $100 to $200 range—that will complement your TV, whether you have a massive 70 incher or a more modest 50 incher.

From a wooden stand that doubles as a bookshelf to a metal and glass version that’s so pretty it could go in a living/dining situation, find your new TV stand below.
