New TV, same wobbly stand? That’s how a lot of rooms end up feeling half done. The picture’s gorgeous, but the wall looks improvised—cords skimming the baseboard, controllers in a basket on the floor, nothing quite lining up. A solid‑wood console fixes that in one move. It gives the screen a proper base, hides the mess, and makes the room feel settled.
That’s the lane we stay in at TN Farmhouse Furniture. We build TV stands and media consoles from real hardwood—oak, maple, or pine—with tight joinery, soft‑close hardware where it helps, and finishes that look like wood, not plastic. You can see them in our Clinton, TN showroom or order online and we’ll ship one fully assembled anywhere in the continental U.S.
Start with your real setup (not a staged photo)
Take two minutes and write down what you own:
- Screen size now—and the size you might buy next.
- Soundbar height or speaker footprint.
- Consoles, receivers, or boxes that run warm and need airflow.
- Anything you want behind a door (controllers, movies, routers).
Let the cabinet follow the gear. That’s how you avoid months of workarounds.
A sizing rule that rarely misses: the console should be wider than the TV. In most rooms that means 48–60″ for small spaces, 60–72″ for a standard living room, and 72–96″ on a wide wall or open plan. It looks intentional and keeps the screen from feeling top‑heavy.
Two easy picks (both orderable online, ship nationwide)
Rustic Media Consoles — Clean front, strong shelves, adjustable interior. We cut cord exits where devices actually sit so cables drop straight down instead of looping.

Farmhouse TV Stands — Same solid build with options for glass doors (handy if you still use remotes) and an open center bay for a soundbar and game systems.

Tell us your component list. We’ll set shelf spacing, vents, and door styles to suit the room you actually live in.
What “solid” feels like day to day
You can feel the difference before you plug anything in. Push the top corner—no skate. Open a door—it hangs square. Pull a drawer—it glides all the way out on full‑extension slides, and you can see what’s in the back. The top doesn’t flex when somebody leans over to reach a cable. Cord cutouts are lined up behind the shelves, so you don’t have a wire draped across the interior like a tripwire.
We finish by hand so the grain shows and the surface stays smooth. Chestnut on oak reads warm and grounded. Weathered gray on maple softens bright rooms. A painted base with a clear‑sealed top gives you a farmhouse contrast that doesn’t look forced. If you’re matching floors or trim, send a daylight photo—we’ll steer you toward a tone that belongs.
A quick story (because results beat specs)
Last month a couple from Knoxville brought phone photos: a 65″ TV perched on a small stand, two baskets for controllers, cords looping like vines. We sized a 72″ weathered‑maple console with quiet doors left and right and an open center bay for the soundbar. Shelves were spaced for their receiver and game system; cord cutouts landed directly behind those shelves. They sent a picture that night: same TV, but the wall finally looked finished. No visual noise. No workarounds. Just a calmer room.
How to pick once and be done
- Measure the wall and note outlets and vents. If you plan to wall‑mount the TV, a longer, lower console looks deliberate and gives you storage without blocking the view.
- Decide on doors vs. open bays. Doors are great for hiding the tangle; open bays give gear air and remotes a clear shot.
- List what needs to live inside (receiver height, console depth, baskets for remotes, etc.). We’ll hit those numbers and leave breathing room.
- Choose finish last. Function first; color second. You can’t sand a cabinet wider, but you can dial stain.
