Stylish Entertainment Center
Abundant storage, low cost, a stylish look, simple construction... This entertainment center checks all the boxes.
Creating space for a large-screen TV and the multitude of electronic necessities that go with it doesn't have to be an expensive, drawn-out endeavor. The solution is to couple time and cost-conscious modular construction with a lean, contemporary look. As you can see, this combination really hits the mark. The full version comes with loads of storage — more than enough to hold all the gadgets you'll ever accumulate. The center cabinet will accommodate a 50" TV with room to spare. Behind the glass doors below, you'll find convenient pull-out storage for all the extras. Flanking the center cabinet are two tower cabinets with both drawers and open storage. And if this isn't enough, a bridge connects the towers to round out the storage and balance the appearance. To streamline the construction, all the large case panels are cut from economical birch plywood. Poplar face frames assembled with pocket screws finish off the case fronts. But, if your needs and ambition are more modest, consider building just the center cabinet as a stand-alone piece.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
