What is the difference between a TV unit and a TV stand?

The terms overlap. A TV stand is usually a simple, open piece the TV sits on. A TV unit (or TV cabinet) is usually longer and adds closed storage such as doors or drawers.

What is an entertainment center?

It is a larger TV unit with extra shelves or cabinets for set-top boxes, speakers, consoles and decor.

Which is better for a small room?

A low, open TV stand looks lighter. A TV unit with closed storage is better if you need to hide wires and clutter.

What sizes do your TV units come in?

Our TV unit pages list 4, 5 and 6 ft lengths, 1.5 ft wide, and 1.5 ft or 2.5 ft high depending on the design.

What are your TV units made of?

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