It seems like a lot of effort is needed to build this one TV stand. Well, actually it’s on the contrary. As long as you have an old and unused buffet, the rest will be a piece of cake.

We must admit that a farmhouse style has its charm in adding elegance to its surrounding. The same charm applies to this specific TV stand. You could build one yourself.

The cabinet doors are made using wooden frames and glass windows. The cabinets could be used to store the supporting TV system or other things as seen in the picture. Wood stain does great in finishing the doors as well as white paint does to the other part.

We told you previously that if pipelines are involved, then industrial style it is, right? However, between this and that TV stand, there’s one difference. The first one is a mix of industrial and other style because of the finish used for the wood material. Meanwhile this one is pure industrial because of the raw look offered by the wood parts.
If we look closer, this TV stand only uses a pair of legs, which means the back part of the TV stand must be secure to the wall. Without any finishing, you have to be extra thorough in sanding the wood board.
10. Concrete Chic
