The right media unit does two jobs at once - it shows off your television at a comfortable height and hides the tangle of boxes, cables and consoles that come with it. Our range spans low-line TV stands, wide media units for big screens, corner designs for awkward layouts and taller cabinets with display space, in oak, walnut, painted, glass and metal finishes to match your living room.
Below you'll find clear guidance on sizing a unit to your television, getting the viewing height right, and choosing storage that keeps everything neat - with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.
As a simple rule, choose a media unit wider than your television so the screen doesn't overhang the edges - aim for the unit to be at least a little wider than the TV on each side, which looks balanced and leaves room for a soundbar or speakers. Television sizes are measured diagonally, so check the actual width of your set, including the feet, which can be surprisingly far apart. If your TV stands on feet rather than a central pedestal, make sure the unit's top is deep and wide enough to take them, or plan to wall-mount the screen above instead.
Comfort comes from eye level. When you're sitting on your sofa, the middle of the screen should sit roughly at eye height - for most people that means the base of the television around 40-60cm off the floor, which suits a low-line unit. Mount or stand it too high and you'll be craning your neck through a film. If you like to watch from bed or a high stool, a taller cabinet may suit better. Measure from your seated eye level down to the floor before you choose, and factor in the height of the TV's own stand.
Think about what needs to live with the television. Open shelves or a soundbar shelf suit a games console, streaming box or sound system that needs ventilation and a clear line to the remote, while closed cupboards and drawers hide DVDs, controllers and clutter behind a tidy front. Look for cable ports or a cut-out at the back to route wires out of sight. On materials, solid and oak-effect wood is warm and hard-wearing, painted finishes suit country and coastal rooms, and glass and metal feel light and contemporary. Allow a little air gap around boxes that get warm.

Aim for the middle of the screen to sit at eye level when you're seated on the sofa, which usually means the base around 40-60cm off the floor. Watching from a higher perch, such as a bed or stool, may suit a taller cabinet instead.
Look for a unit with cable ports or a cut-out at the back to route wires out of sight, and use closed cupboards or drawers to hide boxes and controllers. Leaving a small air gap around devices that get warm helps them run reliably.
Open shelves suit consoles, streaming boxes and sound systems that need ventilation and a clear line to the remote, while closed cupboards and drawers hide DVDs, controllers and clutter. Many units combine both so you get the best of each.
Yes - corner designs are ideal when a flat wall isn't free or when you want to angle the screen towards the sofa. Measure the corner and the unit's depth to be sure it sits neatly without blocking a doorway or walkway.
