How wide should an entertainment wall be for my TV?

An entertainment wall unit should be at least as wide as the TV it holds, but ideally 6 to 12 inches wider on each side to give the display a frame. For a 65-inch TV (about 57 inches wide), a unit 70 to 80 inches wide works well. Wider units -- 90 to 100 inches or more -- include flanking shelves or cabinets for media equipment and decor. Measure your wall and account for any doors or windows that limit the available width.

How much weight can an entertainment wall unit hold?

Most freestanding entertainment wall units hold 200 to 500 pounds of distributed weight across shelves and cabinets. The TV mount capacity is separate -- check the unit's rated load for the center bridge or TV shelf specifically. A 65-inch TV typically weighs 55 to 75 pounds; larger TVs can exceed 100 pounds. If the unit will also hold a receiver, gaming consoles, and speakers, add those weights when calculating load.

Do entertainment walls need to be wall-mounted?

Most entertainment wall units are freestanding and do not require wall mounting. However, anti-tip hardware is strongly recommended if children are in the home -- many units include a wall strap for this purpose. Some modular wall units offer optional wall anchoring for a built-in look. Floor-standing units are easier to move and do not require patching walls when you redecorate.

Entertainment Walls | Quality Home Furniture

An entertainment wall unit is a large, modular furniture system that spans an entire wall -- typically combining a TV section in the center with flanking display shelves, closed cabinets, and sometimes a fireplace insert. They create a built-in look without the cost of actual built-ins and provide significant storage capacity for media equipment, books, and decor. Measure the wall carefully -- most entertainment walls are 90 to 120 inches wide; the ceiling height needs to accommodate the piece if it extends to 80 inches or more. We carry entertainment wall units in wood and contemporary finishes.
