You may have a small viewing area for your television or an area where you wish you could turn
the TV around to face another direction in the room or facing another room that is adjacent. Perhaps a living
room, family room or "great" room next to the kitchen so it can be viewed from either room. A TV
swivel base can solve all that.You can aim the TV on its base to fit into any
furniture arrangement.
Some swivel bases will turn as much as 360 degrees. TV swivel base furniture is becoming a
common accessory and a piece that many can't do without. A practical turntable piece that solves many
television viewing problems making living and entertaining more fun and comfortable.
If you're thinking about buying a TV swivel base or TV turntable there are quite a few TV
swivel stands, TV ceiling mounted swivel stands or TV Lazy Susans as some like to call them, available.
You can get a TV VCR swivel base, LCD TV swivel base, swivel top
TV stand and TV stand with swivel mount. Perhaps you want to buy
an articulating TV mount .
There are many styles, types and models to choose from. Some are made of wood and some made of
metal. Of course a lot will depend on whether you need a ceiling mounted TV swivel base or platform style TV
swivel base.
You'll need to determine whether the TV swivel base you choose can support your
TV. Each swivel base or turntable will come with specifications
as to how much weight it can handle or what size TV will likely fit it. Some have steel ball-bearing mechanisms that can support as much as 250
lbs. so you want to make sure and check the weight capacity. You
can also get a pull out or slideout swivel TV shelf for a kitchen cabinet or armoire.
One piece of advice: when you mount the TV on a
swivel base or swivel arm, make sure no strain is put on the power cord when the TV is swiveled around. You
could cause some damage to the cord or the television set or to you!
You can get a ceiling mounted TV swivel base that has not only a swivel
function but a tilt function. This may be important where you
need to free up some floor area. Businesses and commercial operations often use ceiling mounted TV swivel
bases. You'll see these ceiling mounts a lot in health clubs,
restaurants and sports bars and taverns. However the following qusetions are the ones we get
often:
How do I hide wires for my ceiling mount flat panel television?
How do I run wires for my ceiling mount flat panel television?
How do i ceiling mount my tv?
How do I hang a TV ceiling mount with swivel?
and How do I mount a flat panel tv to the ceiling?
So you can see you may need to get some professional advice before you start installing a
ceiling mount TV with swivel or without.
With safety in mind if you install a ceiling mounted swivel base, make sure it is mounted
correctly and solidly so the TV doesn't fall on anyone's head during an earthquake or tornado if you live in
these zones.
TV swivel base prices can come in a wide range. You may want high quality and good looks
too. Naturally you'll want to buy a TV swivel base or swivel
stand that is low in cost. You can get television swivel bases
or stands on sale often or at a big discount or even at wholesale prices if you shop around.
TV swivel bases, swivel TV stands and swivel TV mounts or ceiling mount swivels come in
various colors and shades depending on whether you choose a wood, metal or other composition base or stand.
Dark grey, silver, black, brown and various types and shades of wood including ash are available.
TV Swivel Base Products and Product Descriptions for Review or Comparison Online
I don't believe Consumer Reports has ever done a review on TV swivelbases or stands. You can
easily find these swivel bases on the Internet and compare prices to get the best deal on a
swivel base. Also check with your local stores, Target, Sears, WalMart, Costco and Home Depot and
Canada stores.
Make sure to compare all because you may be able to get it a lot cheaper online. There
is such a wide variety of choices that most stores offline will not have the same TV turntable or swivel
inventory.
