Entertainment & TV Units Experts

Custom kitchens, wardrobes and joinery for Port Macquarie - designed, built and installed with over 12 years of local experience

Custom entertainment and TV units built to fit your living room, your gear and your wall, right across Port Macquarie and the Hastings. From a clean floating media unit for a new Sovereign Hills lounge to a full-height media wall framing the water view in a Hastings River home, we make each piece to measure rather than squeezing a standard sideboard under the screen. We plan cable management, ventilation for amps and consoles, and concealed storage for controllers, gaming gear and the growing pile of devices, and we mount and level everything on site. Units going into humid or coastal rooms are built in moisture-resistant board with sealed edges, and finishes are chosen to suit the light and the salt air. We use compliant materials only and never engineered stone, in line with the national ban. Owner Steve Smith has 12 years on the tools, a NSW Contractors Licence and $20M public liability cover.

Port Macquarie Custom Cabinets

Media units and TV walls we build

A television unit is not one thing any more, so we build the whole range to suit how Port Macquarie families actually live. Floating wall-hung consoles are the popular choice in newer Thrumster and Sancrox lounges, where a unit off the floor looks light and makes cleaning easy; floor-standing lowline units with drawers and doors suit older Town Beach and Flynns Beach homes and holiday houses that want plenty of closed storage. We build full-height media walls that run floor to ceiling with the screen recessed into a panelled centre, flanked by display shelving and closed cabinets, a strong look in the water-view homes along the Hastings River and Camden Haven, where the joinery frames the room. We make bridging units that wrap up and over a screen for extra storage in smaller rooms, fireplace-and-TV combinations, corner units, and low sideboard-style consoles for open-plan living. Inside, we tailor the fit-out to your equipment: open ventilated bays for amplifiers, soundbars and consoles, drawers for controllers and cables, adjustable shelves for a gaming rig, and a place to hide the modem and the tangle of devices every household now owns. Whether you wall-mount the screen or stand it on the top, we set shelf heights and the recess around your actual TV size and your gear, not a generic guess. We can also build a low bench with a lift-up top for board games and controllers, or a concealed cabinet that hides the whole set-up behind doors when the room is being used for something else. For retirees and downsizers we keep controls and everyday storage at easy heights; for families we build in the robustness a busy media wall needs, and for holiday homes we keep it simple and hard-wearing.

Ventilation, cable runs and a coastal build

Two things make or break a media unit, heat management and cable tidiness, and we design for both. Electronics need airflow, so we build ventilated bays and route cabling through grommets and hidden channels down to a concealed power board, keeping the front clean and the gear cool. Port Macquarie sits in a humid, salt-carrying coastal climate with around 1,500mm of rain a year, and while a living-room media wall is usually a dry-area job, units in coastal rooms close to the beaches or in humid open-plan spaces are built from 16-18mm moisture-resistant board with heat-sealed edges, and we specify corrosion-resistant runners and hinges near the coast because salt air stiffens cheaper fittings over time. Drawers ride full-extension runners rated to around 40kg so a deep drawer of consoles and cables pulls out fully, and doors run on soft-close Blum or Hettich hinges rated past 100,000 open-close cycles and adjustable three ways, so a media-wall door used daily still closes softly in ten years. Finishes are matched to the room's light: high-pressure laminate and melamine for hard-wearing family units, timber veneer for warmth, or a two-pac polyurethane top-coat for a furniture-grade painted media wall, with vinyl-wrap kept clear of heat-producing gear. Where a soundbar or subwoofer is part of the system we allow acoustic clearance and cable paths so the audio is not boxed in and muffled by the joinery. On site we scribe the unit to the wall and level it, holding reveals to within about 2mm so a full media wall reads as one built-in piece. Tacking Point Lighthouse has guided ships past these beaches since 1879, and we bring the same build-it-once-and-properly approach to joinery meant to anchor a room for years.

Port Macquarie Custom Cabinets

Made locally for how the Hastings lives

Port Macquarie has grown into a lifestyle and sea-change destination of nearly 48,000 people, with a median age of 48 and a strong core of owner-occupiers, retirees and holiday-home owners alongside the young families in the growth corridors. In a lot of these homes the living room is the heart of the house and often faces a beach or river view, so the media wall is a feature piece, not an afterthought, which is exactly why a made-to-measure unit that frames the room beats a standard sideboard bought to fit a screen. We design around how you use the room: for retirees and downsizers in Lake Cathie, Laurieton and central Port we keep everyday storage at comfortable heights and make controls easy to reach; for families in Thrumster and Sancrox we build in robust storage for consoles, games and the clutter of a busy household. As a local maker, Steve Smith measures, designs, builds and fits each unit himself over 12 years on the coast, so there is one point of contact from quote to install, and we coordinate around your electrician if the screen is being wall-mounted or power relocated. We hold a NSW Contractors Licence and carry $20M public liability cover, and we keep to compliant materials throughout, with no engineered stone in any build. For the many holiday homes across the Hastings and Camden Haven we keep the media unit simple, robust and easy to clean, since a rental lounge sees hard, constant use through the summer season. When you want a shelf moved or a change made later, you call a local tradesman who built the piece, not a distant retailer.

What a custom media unit costs

Entertainment units cover a wide span, from a simple floating console to a full architectural media wall, so treat these as indicative ranges and expect a firm price only after we measure. As a guide, a floating wall-hung TV console with a couple of drawers in laminate typically runs from around $1,500 to $3,500 fitted. A larger lowline unit with mixed drawers and doors, or a two-pac finish, commonly lands between $3,000 and $5,500. A full-height, wall-to-wall media wall with a recessed screen, display shelving, closed storage and integrated cable management usually sits between $4,000 and $9,000, and can run higher for extensive timber-veneer or furniture-grade two-pac work. The main cost drivers are size, the finish (laminate and melamine keep it economical; timber veneer and two-pac add), the amount of internal fit-out and drawers, coastal-grade hardware, and any built-in ventilation or lighting. Integrated LED strip lighting behind shelving or above the screen is a popular extra and, like any electrical work, it is wired by a licensed electrician and coordinated around our install. Wall-mounting the screen and concealing cabling neatly can involve an electrician, which we coordinate but which sits outside our joinery quote. We give you an itemised written quote after measuring so you can weigh finishes and features against your budget, and there are no engineered-stone components in anything we quote. What you are paying for is a unit sized to your screen and gear, ventilated for the electronics, and built to last in a coastal home, not a mass-produced box that never quite fits the wall.

Custom media wall versus a flat-pack unit

A flat-pack TV cabinet is cheap and quick, but it is built to a standard size in a factory, not to your wall, your screen or your gear, and in Port Macquarie the flat-pack option is weaker still. There is no IKEA on the Mid North Coast; the nearest is Tempe in Sydney, about 391km and roughly four and a half hours south by road, or an online order freighted up as a self-assembly box with no local warranty. Bunnings Kaboodle is available locally but, like all flat-pack, comes in fixed cabinet widths, so a media unit built from stock modules rarely fills a wall properly and almost never handles a recessed screen, integrated cable runs and ventilation the way a bespoke wall does. We start from your room: the exact wall width, the screen size, the height you sit at, and the equipment you own, then build to the millimetre and scribe it to fit. Our carcasses are glued and dowelled with heat-sealed edges and soft-close coastal-grade hardware, rather than cam-lock particleboard with iron-on edging that can lift in humid air. A custom media wall is also designed as a single architectural feature, integrating shelving, storage and the screen into one clean composition instead of a row of separate boxes. For a rental or a quick fix, flat-pack does the job; but for a living room you will use every night in a home you plan to keep, a made-to-measure unit fits better, hides the cables, cools the gear and keeps the warranty here on the Hastings.

What Our Entertainment & TV Units Customers Say About Us

The Process

3 Step Process For Your Entertainment & TV Units Needs

Consult & Measure On Site

It starts with a conversation and a free on-site measure anywhere across Port Macquarie and the Hastings. We check the room for out-of-square walls, floor fall, plumbing and power, and assess its moisture and salt exposure, so the design is grounded in your actual space rather than a standard module. Bring your ideas, photos or plans and we will talk through what is realistic for your home and budget.

Design & Written Quote

From those measurements we draw your cabinetry and give you a clear, itemised written quote covering door style, finish, hardware and a compliant benchtop, with a realistic timeline. Nothing is hidden and there is no obligation. We help you weigh options, from laminate versus natural stone to slab versus Shaker doors, so you can make a confident decision before anything is built.

Make & Install Locally

Once you approve and pay a deposit, your cabinets are made to order in our local workshop, boxes glued and dowelled square with edges heat-sealed. We book install to suit your build or renovation program, scribe and pack cabinetry level to about 2mm, then coordinate benchtop templating and trades. You end up with joinery genuinely made for your home, backed locally rather than freighted in a box.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about our Entertainment & TV Units In King Creek

Can you build the TV unit around my exact screen size?

Yes, and that is the whole advantage of custom. We set the recess, the shelf heights and the surrounding storage around your actual television and the gear you own, whether the screen is wall-mounted or stands on the top. If you are planning to upgrade to a bigger screen soon, tell us and we will size the opening for the future set so you are not rebuilding in two years.

How do you hide the cables and keep the gear cool?

We build in cable management from the start, with grommets and hidden channels routing cabling down to a concealed power board so the front stays clean. For heat, we design ventilated bays with airflow around amplifiers, consoles and soundbars so nothing cooks in a closed box. If the screen is being wall-mounted or power relocated, that electrical work is done by a licensed electrician, which we coordinate around our fit-out.

Can you build a full-height media wall, not just a cabinet?

Absolutely. Full-height, wall-to-wall media walls are one of our most popular pieces, with the screen recessed into a central panel and flanked by display shelving and closed storage. They work especially well in the water-view living rooms along the Hastings River and Camden Haven, where the joinery frames the room. We scribe the whole wall to fit and level it so it reads as one built-in feature rather than a set of separate units.

Do your media units use engineered stone?

No. Entertainment units rarely need a stone top, but where any worktop or surface is involved we use compliant materials only and never engineered or reconstituted stone, which has been banned nationally since 1 July 2024 due to the silicosis risk to fabricators. Most media units are finished in laminate, melamine, timber veneer or two-pac polyurethane, all of which are compliant and hard-wearing.

Will it match my other cabinetry?

Yes. Because everything is made to order, we match the finish, colour and door profile of your kitchen, wardrobes or other joinery so the media unit looks like part of the home rather than a separate purchase. We bring samples so you can see finishes in your own living-room light, which matters near the coast where bright, reflected light changes how colours read.

Do you deliver and install, or just build?

We handle the whole job: measure, design, build in our Port Macquarie workshop, then deliver, mount and level on site across the Hastings and Camden Haven. A wall-hung unit or media wall is fixed securely to the wall structure and scribed to fit. One local point of contact from quote to aftercare, and you can reach Steve directly on 0485 032 128.
