Entertainment Center Furniture

1. Don't pack all your expensive electronics on a skinny, saggy shelf. Quality Sauder entertainment centers stay strong and safe over time. Beautiful entertainment centers from quality manufacturers like Riverside, Parker House and Bush are built to please.

2. Consider your TV's surroundings. A large TV looks cozy in a corner entertainment center, where a smaller unit might seem lost. Wall unit entertainment centers are perfect for small TVs and compact stereos.

3. Get out your tape measure. When shopping on the web, entertainment centers often look smaller than they really are. We offer accurate dimensions for every unit so you can choose one that fits your life just right.

4. A white entertainment center looks cheery and airy, perfect for a country cottage or sunny apartment. It opens up the room, making it seem bigger. Silver TVs and components look great in white surroundings, while an all black TV provides a smart contrast.

5. A dark espresso or black entertainment center adds weight and focus to a room, spotlighting your glowing components. If you want to show off top-notch gear, dark shelves won't compete for attention.

6. Feeling brave? It's safe to stick to a theme like black-on-black, but sometimes the most striking looks come from contrast. Consider how sleek your modern flat-screen TV would look in a rustic oak or cherry entertainment center.

7. A huge TV in a small entertainment center may look like a Cyclops, while a small TV in a large TV armoire can seem puny. Pick an entertainment center that's proportional to your TV, or get a new TV to fit your dream set-up.

8. Modern or traditional entertainment center? It's tempting to match your TV style, but remember to consider the rest of your house, too. You're adding large furniture, and it should blend with your home, not battle. It's easier to move to a new TV than to a new neighborhood.

9. Not sure? Consider this: entertainment centers do a far better job than open shelves corralling all those cables and speaker wires. Closable doors protect your expensive gear from dust, spills and curious little fingers.

10. Think beyond the TV. Do you have lots of DVDs? VHS tapes? Vinyl albums? Cassettes? Music carved into rocks? Choose an entertainment center that has the drawers and shelves perfect for your tastes. Adjustable shelves take out the guesswork.
