A stock media console never quite fills the wall right. Cords tangle behind it anyway. Harker Heights Custom Cabinets builds entertainment center wall units sized to your actual TV placement and room dimensions. A lot of Harker Heights living rooms built in the 2000s and 2010s have open floor plans with a blank wall just waiting for a built-in instead of a freestanding stand.

We design the unit around your TV size, wall width, and existing trim so it reads like part of the house, not an add-on.

What's Included with Entertainment Center Built-Ins

Typically included: wall measuring, shelf and cabinet layout, cable routing, finish to match trim. Optional: glass display doors, accent lighting, open shelving for speakers or decor. Customer prep: have your TV size and mount location decided before the design visit.
