✔️10 Cheap TV Stands With Electric Fireplace Under $250

We sought out economical (cheap) TV stands with electric fireplaces. Our budget was $250. Check out what our research revealed.

These electric fireplace Tv stands and entertainment centersare great if you are challenged on your budget but still want a muti-functional piece of furniture.  They look really sharp, come in a lot of different sizes and styles. They will keep your electronics organized and they have cut outs in the back for cords. even with a $250 budget.

You will be giving up some bells and whistles on the firebox in terms of it’s size, and the realism of flames. The heater is usually the standard ‘supplemental heat up to 4oo square feet’, although insome cases it could be less.

Almost without exception these are made of pressed particle board and/or MDF. Once assembled they hold up pretty well as long as you don’t move them around a lot or get them wet. Assembly is required on all of them (2 people recommended.

Many of the fireplaces in this price range that we were able to source are marketed under the name of Altra Furniture or Ameriwood. These are just two of the brands managed by the umbrella Dorel Corporation, which makes everything from baby car seats and strollers to Cannondale and Schwinn bicycles as well as the furniture divisions. Some of the furniture they make such as desks and bookshelves can be found at retailers such as Walmart, Target, Staples, and Kohl’s. However, I have never seen the electric fireplace TV stands in those stores.

At this price point you are not going to find the refinements you find in more expensive units such as adjustablelevels of flame amd heat and full function remotes. Generally there is no remote control included with these.  Controls are on the unit itself. Flames are generally on/off and the heat is generally on/off. It’s unusual to find levels of adjustment for either. Read the product descriptions carefully, especially the questions asked and answered section in the reviews. Some may be a bit more adjustable than others.

The good news is these are perfectly functional and really attractive. These units will work well for you if you need a TV stand and think of the heater and electric fireplace components as bonuses.

A number of factors weighed in on our decision to pick the electric fireplace TV stands to show you. Here are some of the criteria we used:

• We looked at the price of the unit. This was the Prime Consideration
• We looked at overall actual buyers satisfaction and the reviews
• We looked at style and functionality of the design

This design of this electric fireplace media center is a little bit different from the console styles we have seen previously. Though narrower in width it will accommodate a smaller flatscreen TV up to 37 inches wide. it does not have to serve as a TV stand, however it looks quite nice on its own as a freestanding electric fireplace mantel.

Oddly enough, this narrower unit actually has a larger fireplace insert. The insert here is 23 inches wide which is about 25% larger in size than the console units. The heating capability is the same – supplemental heat up to 400 ft.²
