Best-Quality Media Cabinet
West Elm Norre Media Console
Pros
Great quality
Good storage space
Cons
Full assembly is required
Only two colors
For an investment piece, West Elm is a no-brainer. This blocky media console is great for a bigger space (which can handle this heavy-looking cabinet), particularly ones that could use some hidden storage. Inside the four doors: two compartments, each with one adjustable shelf. This one fits well with TVs up to 50" wide.

Best Media Cabinet Under $400
17 Stories Eudosia TV Stand
Pros
Adjustable shelves
Budget-friendly
Cons
Made from cheaper particle board
Can't house a ton of heavy items
For a cheap option that's an easy fit with most simple decor spaces, this one from Target does a pretty good job. It fits TVs up to 65" with some storage drawers and shelves hidden away. It's made from a cheaper material, though, so it can't hold quite as much as some other options, with a 15-pound weight limit per drawer.

Best Small-Space Media Cabinet
West Elm Folsom 2-Drawer Media Console
Pros
Great for smaller spaces
Good storage and display combo
Cons
High-maintenance upkeep
Not good for spaces in sunlight
For a minimal but well-built design, this West Elm media console is the kind you get for life. It's great for smaller spaces (and smaller TVs). It has hidden shelving and an open shelf, which can hold up to 100 pounds. The wood is a little high-maintenance, though. Spills, direct sunlight, and temperatures either too high or too low can cause damage.

Pros
Adjustable shelf
Budget-friendly
Cons
Engineered wood
Not incredibly stable
This Amazon media stand is budget-friendly at just under $300, but with that comes a less substantial wood material. Still, for something cheap that looks right, this one comes in walnut or slate gray and has four hidden (and adjustable) shelves.

Pros
Lightweight
Great airflow
Cons
Wood composite surface
Not super stable
Target's Threshold line is not to be slept on. The brand makes modern-feeling furniture at more accessible price points. This one is airy, lightweight, and fits TVs up to 55" wide. The front cabinet doors and the back cutouts are great for concealing mountains of cords.

Pros

Some reviewers don't love the door mechanism
