Collection: Entertainment Units

An entertainment unit holds the TV at the right height, hides the gear and the cables, and stops the media corner looking a mess. The two things to nail are width (wider than the TV stand, ideally by a good margin) and storage (open shelves for a soundbar and console, closed for the clutter). Measure the TV and the wall first, then choose the style.

What size unit for my TV?

Go wider than the TV's own stand — as a rule, pick a unit at least as wide as the screen, and ideally 20 to 30 cm wider each side so it looks balanced and stable. Check the TV's foot spacing too, or that it's wall-mounted above, so the base actually supports it. A too-small unit under a big TV looks top-heavy and can be unstable.

How much storage do I need?

Count your gear. Open shelves suit a soundbar, a game console or a streaming box that needs airflow and a clear line to the remote. Closed cabinets and drawers hide DVDs, cables and controllers. A mix is the most useful. Look for a cable gap or cut-out at the back so cords run tidily to the power point.

Lowline or a tall unit?

A lowline unit sits the TV at seated eye level and keeps the room open and modern — the popular choice for a lounge. A taller entertainment unit or buffet-height stand suits a bedroom or a room where you watch standing or from a bed, and adds more enclosed storage. Match the TV height to where you sit.

What we'd tell a friend

Buy the unit wider than you think — the most common regret is a stand that's the same width as the TV, which looks cramped and tippy. And check for a cable cut-out; threading cords is the difference between tidy and a nest behind the screen.

Common questions

How wide should a TV unit be?
At least as wide as the TV, ideally 20 to 30 cm wider each side for a balanced, stable look. Measure your screen width first.

Should the TV sit on the unit or on the wall?
Either — on the unit needs a base that supports the TV's feet; wall-mounted above the unit frees the top for a soundbar and decor.

Do entertainment units arrive assembled?
Most arrive flat-packed for assembly, with cable management built in; the listing says what's involved.

Can I pay with Afterpay?
Yes — Afterpay, Zip, Klarna or PayPal Pay in 4. A $199 entertainment unit works out to four fortnightly payments of about $49.75.
