Media Console/Credenza Hell

June 2, 2008 By 24 Comments

I’m looking for a new media console/credenza to put a television on.

Something about 50″ wide, not too tall, deep enough to accommodate a 16″ deep living room PC, very minimal looking, but not so minimal that it doesn’t have doors. I want to hide my classic Nintendo, XBox 360, VCR, amp and aforementioned LRPC in it. Along with some other crap.

I’ve found a few nice ones but they’re all $1500+ and that just seems to be too much to pay.

Here’s a gallery of some of the ones I’ve found.

This is the leading contender from West Elm:

Or perhaps a black-brown Besta bench from Ikea with simple doors on it.

    Matt,

    I am a fan of Room and Board. They only have a hand full of showrooms, mostly east of us…San Francisco is our closest store. They have a great contemporary line of furniture that works well in a downtown setting. They have media furniture of course…google them as an option.

    My couch is from Room and Board :).

    I put them in the $1500+ range which I’m slowly coming around to accept as the likely outcome here.

    Sorry, we’re in America. I think you call it a “sofa”.

    yeah, i got a media stand (linear) and a desk from Room and Board in walnut for my place at trace north. I like the solid wood and steel construction.

    Hey Matt, just found your blog and noticed this post. We just purchased the Modern Storage Media Stand from West Elm: http://www.westelm.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?partNumber=WE-PRODf387&cmsrc=rel&storeId=17001&langId=-1&catalogId=17002&viewSetCode=E

    For the price and functionality we couldn’t find any better. Last weekend we visited some friends in Portland picked it up at the West Elm store near the Pearl District. You can order it online and it’s on sale.

    The craftsmanship is probably a notch above Ikea and it’s no heirloom furniture piece, but it makes our place look organized and as I said before, we couldn’t beat the price.

    I always come back to Dania; worth looking in the clearance rooms in their various locations as well.
