entertainment center

TV furniture unit

An entertainment center is a large piece of furniture designed to hold a television and related equipment—DVD players, gaming consoles, speakers, and media storage.

The term emerged when TVs were bulky enough to require substantial cabinetry.

As screens became wall-mounted and streaming replaced physical media, the traditional entertainment center has declined: That massive oak entertainment center takes up half the living room.
