Need advice for the best 55'' TV stand

[Weiss]

So I have a 55'' TV mounted to my wall, only it wasn't mounted to a stud because the wall had none, and I've learned that is a bad idea and eventually the TV's just going to fall off. Decided to just get a stand instead but I'm not sure which one to get, I'd like for around $200 or cheaper but I doubt it's that feasible.

Basically it just needs to big enough to hold a 55'' TV and have multiple layers to hold six game consoles.

Honestly there are a bunch of options out there. Check Facebook marketplace as well.

Also how are there no studs.

A stud finder will be cheaper than a new stand.

That's a good stud finder

Okay false alarm, turns out there were steel studs in the wall that the TV got mounted to, and I got confused because I just remember that the guy who put it in had trouble finding a wooden stud so I assumed he just put it up on the drywall.

Unless there's some kind of consequence for mounting a TV to a steel stud, anyway.

There isn't a problem per se. An ideal mount would have a box frame built into the wall but most people, myself included, don't want to deal with replacing the drywall and painting.

Aluminum will not hold as well as wood studs and I wouldn't trust it.

No consequence. As long as it was done correctly, the studs will hold the load
