Product Insights
The Arlo Expandable TV Stand by Simons Maison is a Canadian-made unit (51% domestic production costs) built from Quebec engineered wood with a low-VOC melamine sliding surface that offers smooth, maintenance-free extension and resists scratches and stains, but chips under heavy impact and cannot be repaired. Its low 51 cm height prevents tip-over, referencing an 80 kg load capacity for TVs up to 85 inches and AV receivers that fit flush thanks to a 37 cm depth—concentrating weight over the leg structure—yet the stand has no built-in cable management, requiring aftermarket solutions, and the particleboard core ensures consistent density and a durable laminate finish.
Verified claims
- Material quality
- Quebec engineered wood, low-VOC, melamine sliding surface, durable finish.
- Made in Canada
- The Arlo TV stand is manufactured in Canada and carries a Made in Canada label, which requires at least 51% of total direct production costs to be Canadian and the last substantial transformation to occur in Canada. Its engineered-wood construction draws on Quebec's dense particleboard and MDF supply base.
- Stability
- The 51 cm (20 in) height gives the stand a low center of gravity that helps resist tip-over, especially when fully extended; wall anchoring is still recommended for TVs 65 inches and larger or whenever children or pets are present.
- AV fit
- 37 cm depth fits full-size AV receivers without overhang.
- Sliding mechanism
- The low-VOC melamine surface on the sliding section ensures smooth, maintenance-free extension year-round without lubrication.
- Device compatibility
- No official maximum TV diagonal is published, but buyer guidance says TVs up to about 85 inches should fit comfortably; most TV bases are 10–13 inches deep, so they sit fully on the 37 cm depth.
- Cable management
- A semicircular cable cutout at the lower rear edge provides a rear pass-through for cords; the enclosed compartments themselves have no grommets or cord channels, so buyers housing electronics inside should plan aftermarket routing or small notches.
- Durability
- Melamine resists scratches and stains better than solid wood, but it can chip under heavy impact and repairs are difficult.
- Substrate quality
- Particleboard core has consistent density and smooth surface, enhancing laminate durability.
- Capacity
- No official weight capacity is published for this stand; a similar Arlo extendable unit lists 80 kg for the top and 10 kg per shelf, so those figures are a general guide only.
- Depth fit
- At 37 cm deep, it fits standard AV receivers without overhang, concentrating weight over the leg structure.
- Formaldehyde emissions
- The Arlo's Canadian-made particleboard core meets CAN/CSA-O160, which mirrors California's CARB Phase 2 formaldehyde limits, so it emits ultra-low VOC levels.
- Wood sourcing
- The particleboard's wood fiber primarily comes from Canadian forests managed under some of the world's strictest reforestation and wildlife protection laws.
- Assembly
- Assembly is required; the stand ships flat and a two-person build is recommended. Hardware uses cam-lock fittings with an included Allen key, a hammer helps seat the glides, and assembly typically takes one to two hours.

A TV stand that adjusts to fit your space
This expandable TV stand extends from 223 cm to 356 cm, so it can work in everything from a smaller room to a large open-plan home, per the retailer. A semicircular cable cutout at the lower rear edge gives cords a place to run through.[1,2]
Keeping media-area essentials tucked away but handy
For a living room setup where you want storage that doesn't hide everything: the Arlo Expandable TV Stand has an open cubby at the right end for items you reach often, like stacked books or a small bowl, while its white matte drop-down door conceals an interior compartment for baskets and other decor you'd rather keep out of sight. In the product photos, the drop-down door is shown folded down flat to form a horizontal surface.[3,4]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Arlo Expandable Tv Stand: Choose this if you want a low, minimalist media cabinet whose expandable design extends from 223 cm to 356 cm to fit both intimate spaces and large open-plan homes. This Hazelnut, one-size variant pairs a warm wood top with light-cream matte panels, offers drop-down doors plus an open right-side cubby and a rear cable pass-through, and is made in Canada from engineered wood and melamine. Note that assembly is required, and product photos show unfinished particleboard edges and visible screws on the back panel.[1,2,3,4] | Scandinavian Angle Tv Unit 72": Choose this if you want a low-profile, minimalist TV unit for screens up to 80 inches: it is 72 inches wide, 16 inches tall, and 18 inches deep, with five open compartments, vertical end slots for tall items, and a maple melamine finish the merchant describes as scratch-, stain-, and water-resistant. It suits small living spaces and simpler setups, and reviewers report assembly takes under an hour with clear instructions. Note that some customers found the melamine surface chips from bumps and some units arrive with defects or packing damage, so it is less suited to heavy daily use, and it cannot be shipped to Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, or the Magdalen Islands.[5,6] | Coloured Three-Drawer Tv Unit 72": Choose this if you need a wide, low-profile media console that fits TVs up to 80 inches and holds up to 175 pounds, with three storage drawers on metal glides plus three open compartments for electronics. The melamine construction resists scratches, stains, and water, and the unit is designed and made in Quebec (assembly hardware imported), with Chocolate/Espresso and Mossy Green colour options. Note that assembly is required—hardware and instructions included—and the item cannot be shipped to Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, or the Magdalen Islands.[7] |
