TV Units

(116 products)

A good TV unit puts the screen at a comfortable height and keeps cables, remotes and consoles out of sight. Browse low-line entertainment units for wide living rooms, compact TV stands for apartments and bedrooms, and units with drawers, open shelves or glass doors. Check the width against your TV and wall space before you buy. Finish the room with coffee tables, sofas and armchairs and recliners, or see all living room furniture.

How to choose a TV unit

Match the width to your TV

Pick a unit at least as wide as the TV, and ideally a bit wider so it does not look top heavy. As a guide, a 55 inch TV is about 123 cm wide, a 65 inch about 145 cm and a 75 inch about 167 cm. Popular unit widths here are 160 cm, 180 cm and 200 cm. Check the TV stand or feet position too, as some TVs have feet near the edges.

Height and viewing

Low-line units suit wall-mounted TVs and big rooms where the couch sits back a fair way. Taller stands lift the screen closer to eye level when seated, which helps in bedrooms and smaller lounges. Aim for the middle of the screen to be roughly at eye height from your seat.

Storage, drawers and cables

  • Drawers: hide remotes, controllers and cables.
  • Open shelves: best for consoles, set-top boxes and soundbars that need airflow and a clear line for the remote.
  • Glass doors: show off gear while keeping dust out.
  • Cable holes: look for cut-outs in the back panel to keep leads tidy.

LED lights and finishes

Some units have built-in LED strips, often colour changing with a remote. White is the most popular finish, then wood tones and black. Most units are engineered wood, with some glass, metal and timber designs. Pair the unit with floating shelves above for decor, or a matching piece from buffets and sideboards.

What to expect on price

Prices start from about $65 for compact stands, with most around $190. Wide 180 cm to 200 cm units with drawers and lighting sit higher. For extra games and DVD storage, see media storage.

TV Units: common questions

What size TV unit do I need for a 65 inch TV?

A 65 inch TV is about 145 cm wide, so look for a unit around 160 cm to 180 cm wide. That gives room either side and keeps the TV feet well supported. Always check the TV's own width and foot spacing against the unit's top on the product page.

Do you have a 200 cm TV unit?

Yes, there are wide entertainment units around 200 cm, which suit 75 inch TVs and long living room walls. Check the overall width, depth and height on the product page, and make sure the wall has room for the unit plus speakers or plants either side.

How much weight can a TV unit hold?

Weight limits vary by unit, so check the product page for the top surface rating. Modern TVs are lighter than they look, but add the weight of a soundbar and consoles. Do not stand heavy items on open shelves beyond their stated limit.

Should I secure my TV and unit to the wall?

Yes. A TV or a tall unit can tip if a child climbs or pulls on it. Use an anti-tip strap or wall bracket, and check the product page to see whether a kit is included. If not, they are cheap from any hardware store.

How do the LED lights work?

Units with LED lights usually have strips along the shelves or base, powered from a wall point. Many offer several colours and modes changed with a remote. Check the product page for how the lights are powered and controlled on each model.

How do I hide the cables?

Look for units with cable holes in the back panel and closed drawers or doors. Run the leads through the back, bundle them with ties, and keep the power board inside the unit. Leave open shelves for gear that needs airflow, like consoles.

Does a TV unit need assembly?

Most TV units arrive flat packed and need assembly with the fittings supplied. Allow an hour or two, longer for units with drawers and lights. Two people make lifting the top and fitting doors easier.
