A custom TV console should fit the screen, room, equipment, and project requirements—not just the available wall space. As a starting point, consider a console around 1,500–1,800 mm wide for a typical living-room arrangement, with a depth of 350–450 mm and a height of 400–600 mm. These are planning ranges, not fixed standards; the right specifications depend on your TV base, viewing layout, storage needs, and installation conditions. In this guide, we explain how B2B buyers can compare sizes, materials, construction, and supplier terms before requesting a quote.
This guide is for furniture retailers, interior designers, hospitality buyers, project contractors, and importers evaluating custom TV consoles. It is also useful when you need to develop a coordinated product range or adapt a design to a specific room layout. A clear specification helps your team compare quotations on the same basis and reduces the chance of overlooking practical details. At Notable, we work with buyers to define product requirements for custom console furniture and related projects.
A TV console is a low storage unit designed to sit beneath or alongside a television. Depending on the design, it may hold media devices, accessories, and household items, while providing a surface for a television or decorative objects. Customization can cover overall dimensions, material combinations, finish, storage layout, hardware, cable access, and other project-specific details. The finished product should be planned around its intended use rather than appearance alone.
Solid wood, plywood, and other engineered wood products can provide a warm appearance and support a wide range of finishes. Their suitability depends on the selected grade, thickness, construction, and expected use; ask the supplier to specify the proposed material rather than relying on a general label such as “wood.” Veneers and surface finishes can also affect the visual result and care requirements. For repeat orders, request finish samples or an approved reference sample where available.
Metal components can create a clean, industrial, or contemporary look, particularly when combined with wood or other panel materials. For a metal frame, clarify the metal type, profile, surface treatment, joint details, and color reference. Mixed-material construction can give designers more options, but the interfaces between materials need attention in both the design and production specification. Notable can discuss metal furniture construction and material combinations with buyers developing a custom console.
Glass or specialty surfaces may suit a particular design direction, but they should be selected with handling, cleaning, edge treatment, and intended use in mind. Ask how each surface is specified and protected for packing and transport. If the console will be used in a hospitality, retail, or other commercial environment, describe the conditions to the supplier instead of assuming a residential finish is appropriate. The supplier can then confirm which options are available for the project.
Start by measuring the installation area, including the wall width, skirting boards, nearby doors, and any sockets or wall-mounted equipment. Then confirm the television’s actual base dimensions or mounting arrangement, since screen size alone does not establish the support area required. A console wider than the television can create a balanced arrangement, but the exact proportion should be checked against the room plan and design intent. The width range in the introduction is a useful starting point for discussion, not a substitute for measurement.
Depth and height affect how the console works in daily use. A depth of 350–450 mm may be a useful planning range, but equipment ventilation, cable bends, and the depth of the television base can require a different specification. A height of 400–600 mm is another starting range; confirm the intended viewing position and whether the television will sit on the console or be wall-mounted. If a project has accessibility, safety, or installation requirements, include them in the specification for review.

List the equipment and objects that need a place inside or on the console, then measure the largest items. Specify the number and type of compartments, drawer or door arrangement, and whether any areas need to remain open for equipment access. Add cable openings and routes to the drawing, and confirm their positions before production. When the unit will be installed against a wall, allow for the actual outlet and cable locations rather than placing openings by habit.
This sequence helps turn a broad design idea into a quote-ready brief. It also gives buyers a way to separate essential requirements from optional upgrades. If some details are undecided, mark them as open questions instead of allowing suppliers to make different assumptions. That makes quotation comparisons more meaningful.
The price of a custom TV console depends on the approved dimensions, materials, finish, construction, hardware, packaging, order quantity, and delivery requirements. A design with multiple materials, special finishes, or additional assembly steps may need different production planning than a simpler specification. Request an itemized quotation or a clear scope description so you can see which features are included. Confirm whether the quoted price covers samples, tooling or setup charges, packing, and shipping, where applicable.
Minimum order quantity (MOQ) and lead time are supplier- and project-specific, so they should be confirmed for the exact design and destination. Ask when the lead-time estimate begins—for example, after drawing approval, sample approval, or deposit—and whether it includes production only or also transit. For a first order, include time for specification review and sample evaluation in your project schedule. Notable can review a project brief and discuss the applicable MOQ, production timing, and quotation details for the proposed design.
A reliable supplier discussion should cover more than the unit price. Use the following checklist to assess whether a manufacturer can understand and document your requirements. Request written answers for any point that affects product fit, quality expectations, or delivery planning. Avoid relying on verbal assumptions for details that should appear on a drawing, specification, or order confirmation.
One frequent mistake is specifying only the television screen size and not measuring the base, equipment, room, or wall conditions. Another is choosing a material by name without confirming its grade, finish, or construction. Buyers can also overlook cable access, ventilation, packaging, or the difference between a sample appearance and the approved production specification. Review these details before placing the order, especially when the console is part of a coordinated furniture program.
Choose a custom TV console by balancing dimensions, equipment fit, storage, material, finish, and project constraints. Use the suggested ranges—1,500–1,800 mm in width, 350–450 mm in depth, and 400–600 mm in height—as initial planning references only, then verify them against the actual room and product requirements. Document materials, cable access, hardware, packing, MOQ, and lead-time assumptions before comparing suppliers. A precise brief is the most useful first step toward an accurate quote and a console designed for its intended application.
