Buying Guide

Full-size entertainment centers, which are also known as wall units, are massive pieces of furniture. They are capable of housing and displaying an entire home theater system and more. White wall units can be up to 72 inches in height with varying widths.

Because this type of home furniture is large, it’s intended as a room’s centerpiece. To ensure your entertainment center is right for the available space you have at home, don’t start shopping unless you’ve read and understood our buying guide on white wall units below.

How to select the right size entertainment center?

To know the size of the entertainment center that can fit in your space, there are certain steps you need to take. First and foremost, you need to map out where you intend to place the unit. Then, measure the entire wall that your entertainment center will lean on. To take the depth and width, measure the maximum space you can allow for the furniture.

Don't forget to take the measurements of passageways, staircases, and doorways as those are where your unit will pass through to reach its placement.

Of course, you will use the entertainment center to mount or store your TV. To ensure the storage space intended for a TV fits your TV’s size, measure your TV including its depth. Then, compare the measurements you’ve taken with the dimensions of the TV shelf of a white wall unit.

How can I know the entertainment center is well constructed?

Overall, the unit that’s an incredible choice is one that’s sturdy. It must never wobble when it is rocked as it will house your expensive home theater system. There must be corner blocks to ensure the unit’s stability, as well as levelers that help make sure the drawers and doors line up correctly.

The best feature for drawers is dovetail joinery as it offers strength and stability. Of course, the drawers should be able to move in and out with the help of their glides. Stops are useful in preventing overextension. Quality glides make use of nylon wheels or ball bearings as they make it easy for the drawers to move.

As for the doors of your entertainment center, they should fit well without any visible gaps. Doors should neither squeak nor rub when they are opened and closed.

Most entertainment centers or white wall units are constructed out of solid hardwood. Others may come with hardwood veneer. Unlike softwoods like fir, redwood, pine, cypress, and cedar, hardwood provides the highest level of strength and durability. The most popular hardwood types include cherry, maple, oak, mahogany, teak, rosewood, pecan, and walnut.

Because you will be ordering an entertainment center online, we suggest you pick one that comes with an excellent return policy and comprehensive warranty to protect your investment. Try to keep in mind all the tips we gave you to make the buying process a success.
