TV Units

TV Units buying guide

TV units bring the screen, media equipment and everyday storage together in one practical part of a living room. This category covers compact pieces for smaller spaces as well as longer, low designs for larger walls, giving you somewhere to place a television, consoles, boxes and remotes while keeping cables and accessories more neatly out of sight.

Measure the television's actual stand or foot positions and compare them with the usable top surface of the selected unit. Check the manufacturer's stated load limit and support requirements where supplied. Screen diagonal alone cannot confirm that the television fits safely on the furniture.

Compare the screen position with your normal seated viewing position rather than choosing a unit by height alone. Include the television's own stand height in the check. Leave the ventilation and access space specified for your devices and make sure cables can reach without being trapped. Browse TV Units 50cm to 70cm High.

TV Units storage options

Storage is one of the main reasons people choose these pieces, and the category includes several layouts for different media setups. Open shelving is common, with one shelf the most frequently seen arrangement, followed by two- and three-shelf designs. Shelves are useful for set-top boxes, consoles and sound equipment because they keep devices accessible while leaving room to route leads behind or around the unit.

Doors, drawers and open shelves

Door and drawer combinations are widely represented, so you can decide what to hide and what to keep close to hand. Two-door units are especially common, while one-door, three-door and four-door versions also appear. For drawers, one-drawer and two-drawer layouts are the most usual, with some larger designs offering three or more for remotes, charging cables and game controllers.

If tidier living room storage is the priority, take a look at TV Units with Storage. If you mainly want space for media boxes and display pieces, TV Units with Shelves may be the better fit.

Choosing by screen size and room shape

Check the television's actual support footprint, weight and manufacturer instructions alongside the unit's usable surface and stated load limit. A screen-size label is a starting filter, not a fit guarantee. For corner layouts, measure the complete footprint and the space needed for cables and device ventilation.

TV Units materials and finishes

Materials in this category range from easy-living engineered boards to characterful natural woods. Particle wood and MDF are common choices for clean-lined modern pieces, including painted, gloss, matt and melamine finishes in colours such as white, grey and black. These work well if you want a neater, more contemporary look and a surface that can usually be kept looking smart with regular dusting and a lightly damp cloth.

There is also a strong choice of wood-led designs, including mango wood, oak, solid oak, oak veneer, acacia, sheesham and reclaimed wood, with natural, lacquered, walnut and darker finishes all represented. Mango wood and oak styles often suit rustic, farmhouse, Scandinavian and mid-century rooms, while metal details appear in a number of industrial designs. If you prefer a timber-led look, browse Wooden TV Units, or for a richer tone you can explore Dark Wood TV Units.

Modern or more characterful

Modern styling is the most common overall, but Scandinavian, industrial, contemporary, rustic, farmhouse and classic looks are all part of the mix. That makes it easier to match existing coffee tables, sideboards or shelving in your Living Room Furniture scheme rather than treating the television area as a separate zone. In other words, the right TV units can help the room feel more coordinated without changing the rest of your furniture.

TV Units delivery and assembly

Choice Furniture Superstore advertises free standard delivery to England and Wales across the category. Many products are supplied assembled, while others are flat packed or part assembled, so it is worth checking the individual product page if you want to reduce setup at home. For shoppers who prefer furniture that arrives ready built, you can narrow the search to Ready Assembled TV Units.

Optional assembly is available on selected products only, and finance options including a 50% deposit option are available subject to CFS terms and eligibility. As delivery, assembly and finance availability can vary by item, the product page and checkout are the right places to confirm the options for the piece you choose.

Check the current delivery policy and your postcode for charges, service level and product-specific conditions.

Check equipment space and cable access

Compare each device's width, depth and ventilation requirements with the usable shelf or compartment, including room for plugs and cables behind it. Follow any furniture securing instructions. If the television is wall-mounted, the unit's position still needs to leave access to sockets, controls and connected equipment.
