Flat screen televisions have taken the world by storm, with good reason. Their wall-hugging design allows the television to be placed at the most comfortable height to improve the viewing or gaming experience while eliminating the need for bulky entertainment centers or elaborate television cabinets. An outrageously modern improvement in the television industry, the flat-screen television has only one flaw - the lack of convenient shelving for gaming consoles, cable boxes, Blu-Ray players and other components and accessories. This problem can be solved, however, by installing a convenient, attractive
wall mount TV shelf.

Designed to complement and enhance flat screen televisions, a wall mount TV shelf allows the television to be completely free of the need for any tables or furniture on the floor beneath the television's location. Instead, the shelf is securely attached to the wall, allowing the sturdy brackets to be completely concealed behind the television. A
convenient cord management system is included with most shelves to provide a welcome alternative to the messy, jumbled lengths of wire, cord and cables needed to connect gaming systems, computers and other components. Best of all, installing a wall mount TV shelf is fast and easy, with the complete installation taking only a few minutes and there is no need for special tools. Since no drilling is required, walls are not damaged or marred, making them perfect for use in apartments and rental homes, as well.
