BRAND SPOTLIGHT
The television has spent two decades becoming thinner, larger and easier to look at, while the question of what it should stand on has barely moved. The prevailing answers still hide the screen behind cabinet doors, hang it flat on the wall, or sink it into a media unit. Pedestal, a Danish brand rooted in the Scandinavian design tradition, starts from a different premise: put the screen on steel legs, give the stand a real colour, and let it move around the home the way a floor lamp does.
Pedestal arrived in Canada this August, and the full range is now at Habitus: eight TV stands, plus the shelves, mounts and cable management pieces designed around them. Every stand is built from powder-coated steel with a satin finish, mounts the screen on a standard VESA bracket, and shares the same palette of colours with names like Pearl, Oat, Mossy Green, Ultra Marine and Burnin' Red. What separates the five stands below is the job each one is drawn for.
Moon: The Rolling Stand at the Centre of the Range
The Moon TV Stand is the piece the brand is known for: soft curved lines over a welded steel structure, on furniture wheels with a soft PU tread that cross a wood floor without marking it. It takes screens from 40" to 70", with 50" to 60" the sizes it was drawn around, and holds up to 110 lbs on a VESA bracket. The practical consequence is that movie night can happen in whichever room the evening ends up in.
Moon is also a family. The Moon PRO is the largest stand Pedestal makes, taking screens up to 75" on braked wheels, the Moon Tall stands 5.9" higher than the standard Moon for rooms watched standing or from a high seat, and the Moon Light scales the same frame down to 32" to 48" screens. If you are choosing one stand to start with, the standard Moon is the one I would point most households to.
Rover: A Shelf Built Into the Structure
The Rover TV Stand answers the first question people ask about a stand with no cabinet: where does the Apple TV go? Rover builds a colour-matched steel shelf directly into the frame, and the shelf is structural, not an accessory, so the stand does not assemble without it. It also lifts the screen about 4" higher than the standard Pedestal height and keeps the whole thing slim front to back, sitting 6.7" from the wall. For a condo living room where the television, the console and the soundbar all have to live together, this is the stand I recommend first.
Disco: Low, Wide and Tilted Back
The Disco TV Stand takes the opposite posture. At 36.6" tall it is the low, wide member of the range, with an oversized shelf in the frame for media boxes, game consoles and the books that collect under a television. The whole stand tilts back slightly so the screen meets your eye at a natural angle from a sofa. In a basement family room or a den where seating sits low and close, that small tilt does more for comfort than any amount of screen size.
Bloom: No Screws Into the Screen
The Bloom TV Stand holds a screen without screwing into it. The frame reclines a few degrees, the screen rests against bent steel pipes, and safety straps on the top bar hold it in place, which means it takes screens with no VESA pattern at all. The result reads more like an easel than a media unit. In a bedroom, or any room where the television is not the main event, Bloom in Sandstorm or Bubble Gum is the most furniture-like way to stand a screen.
Viva: The Simplest Stand Pedestal Makes
The Viva TV Stand strips the idea to a single crossbar on angled legs with rounded feet. It weighs under 9 lbs, takes screens from 32" to 70", and sits just 6.3" from the wall, so it slips into a bedroom, an office or a rental where drilling into the wall is off the table. It is light enough to reposition without help and comes in the full ten-colour palette, which makes it an easy first Pedestal piece for a room that needs some colour anyway.
Shelves and Mounts for the Stands
The stands are half the system. Pedestal builds a full line of accessories in the same powder-coated steel and the same palette, so a shelf or a mount bolted to the frame reads as part of the stand rather than an add-on. The Moon Shelf and Moon Tray Shelf carry the media box on the Moon stands, and a Soundbar Bracket Set hangs the speaker directly under the screen.
The mounts are where the range gets specific. There are dedicated brackets for a PS5, a Nintendo Switch dock, an Apple TV, a cable box and even the remotes, each one clamping to the stand tube behind the screen. The console hangs off the floor, the cable runs stay short, and the stand keeps rolling as one piece. For anyone building a gaming setup that still has to look presentable at dinner, these mounts are the part of the range to know about.
Cable Management for the Whole House
The cable management pieces work anywhere in the house, with or without a stand. The Cable House is a steel box with a carrying handle that closes over a power bar and everything plugged into it, the Cable Villa puts the same idea on wheels, and the Cable Stand holds a power bar upright on a desk or side table instead of leaving it on the floor. Around them sit trays, towers and covers for routing power along a desk or wall, plus magnetic silicone ties and clips for the individual cords.
These are the pieces I expect people to buy first, before a stand ever enters the picture. Every desk, entry console and nightstand has a cord problem, and a Charcoal or Pearl steel box under the desk solves it in the same steel and colours as the rest of the range, so a stand can join later and match.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size of TV fits a Pedestal stand?
Most of the range, including Moon, Rover, Disco and Bloom, fits screens from 40" to 70". Viva takes 32" to 70", and the Moon Light covers 32" to 48". The rolling stands are tested to 110 lbs, and Disco to 88 lbs, so current 55" and 65" screens are comfortably within limits.
Do Pedestal stands replace a wall mount?
Yes. The mounted stands hold the screen on a built-in VESA-compatible bracket, for patterns of 600 x 400 mm or below on the full-size stands, with M6 and M8 screws included. Bloom is the exception by design: the screen leans against the frame and is held by straps, so it works even for screens with no VESA pattern.
Where do the media box and soundbar go?
Rover and Disco have colour-matched shelves built into the frame. For the Moon family, Pedestal makes add-on shelves sized to each stand, and a Soundbar Bracket that fits the Moon stands, Rover and Disco. Viva keeps things to the screen alone.
Will the wheels mark a hardwood floor?
The rolling stands use furniture wheels with a soft PU tread, made to cross a wood or tile floor without marking it. The Moon PRO adds brakes on two of its four wheels for stands that travel and then need to stay put.
What colours do Pedestal TV stands come in?
The palette runs to ten finishes, from quiet neutrals like Pearl, Oat and Charcoal to Mossy Green, Ultra Marine, Burnin' Red, Apricot, Bubble Gum, Powder Blue and Chrome. Moon and Viva carry the full palette; Rover, Disco and Bloom each offer a focused selection.
Pedestal's range is one idea worked through five postures: the screen as an object on legs rather than a fixture on a wall. Moon rolls, Rover carries the media setup, Disco sits low and tilts back, Bloom leans like an easel, and Viva holds the whole idea on a single crossbar. Between the five stands and ten colours, there is a version of it for nearly every room a television ends up in.
