What is a TV cabinet called?

1 Answer
A TV cabinet is called an entertainment unit, media cabinet, entertainment center or TV unit (or it’s simply called a TV cabinet). While it’s known by a number of names, this structure commonly refers to a type of hutch, cabinet or other piece of storage furniture that will house electronics and media in your living room, bedroom or entertainment room

The world's first storage cabinets, reportedly constructed in Renaissance-era Europe, were demonstrative of excellence in carpentry and the work of master carvers. An antique or vintage TV cabinet with doors can technically be the star of the show in your space, especially if it’s a trendy mid-century modern design. 

Admirers of mid-century modernism looking to make a statement with their case pieces will warm to the dark woods and clean lines of vintage storage cabinets by Paul McCobb, Florence Knoll or Edward Wormley
