Entertainment and TV Units
Premium TV Units in Australia Built to Fit Your Screen
A TV unit that is narrower than the television sitting on it looks wrong from the moment it lands, and no amount of styling fixes it.
Roomlane stocks TV units in Australia in four widths, 800mm, 1400mm, 1800mm and 2000mm, so the unit can be matched to the screen rather than the other way round. The range covers Messmate, Tasmanian Oak, Australian Oak, Wormy Chestnut, NZ Pine in a walnut finish, acacia in black wire brush and mango wood paired with jute and brass finish legs. Prices run from around $457 to just over $2,700.
Getting the Size and Cabling Right
Screen sizes are quoted as a diagonal measurement, which is why 65-inch TV units in Australia, Melbourne is closer to 1450mm wide than 1650mm. Measure the screen itself, not the box it came in, then work through the rest.
- Width: Aim for a unit wider than the screen, with 100mm to 150mm clear on either side. A 55-inch screen suits 1400mm, a 65-inch suits 1800mm, anything larger points to 2000mm.
- Height: The middle of the screen sits best at seated eye level, roughly 1000mm to 1100mm from the floor. Working backwards from that gives you the unit height you need.
- Soundbar Clearance: If a soundbar sits in front of or below the screen, check the gap between the shelf and the base of the television before ordering.
- Ventilation and Cabling: Consoles and receivers need airflow and rear access. Open shelving handles both. Closed doors look tidier and need a cable cut-out to work.
- Load: If the television is not wall mounted, the top surface carries its full weight plus the stand footprint. Timber handles this comfortably, but checking the stand fits the depth.

FAQs for Entertainment and TV Units
1. How much wider should a TV unit be than the television?
We recommend choosing a unit that extends beyond the screen on both sides for a more balanced appearance. Measure your actual television width first, then compare it with the dimensions of the unit you are considering.
2. Can a TV unit be used if my television is wall mounted?
Yes, a TV unit can still provide useful storage underneath a wall-mounted screen. Before ordering, consider the unit’s height, the position of your television and whether you need space for consoles, speakers or other equipment.
3. What should I keep on a TV unit?
TV units can accommodate equipment such as gaming consoles, media players, speakers and remotes, depending on the available storage. Avoid overcrowding the unit, particularly around electronic equipment that needs adequate ventilation during use.
4. Is timber a good material for a TV unit?
Timber can provide a durable and visually warm option for living rooms, while different species create noticeably different grain and colour characteristics. Consider the timber’s appearance alongside your existing furniture rather than choosing solely by colour.
5. How do I choose a TV unit for a narrow wall?
Start by measuring the usable wall width and accounting for nearby doors, windows and walkways. A narrower unit can prevent the room from feeling cramped, while still giving you enough surface and storage for essential equipment.
