Is plywood or solid wood better for a TV unit?

Solid wood is strong and can be re-polished. Good plywood is stable, resists cracking and suits large panels like back boards and shelves. Many TV units combine both.

What are your TV units made of?

Our TV unit pages list teak wood and plywood with PU polish.

Is plywood the same as MDF?

No. Plywood is made of glued wood layers; MDF is made of compressed wood fibres. Plywood generally holds screws better and handles moisture better than MDF.

Will plywood sag under a TV?

A well-built plywood shelf of the right thickness and span carries a TV and devices. Very long, thin shelves can sag over time with any material.

How do I care for a teak and plywood TV unit?

Dust with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from damp walls and wipe spills quickly.
