Broyhill Entertainment Center – Premium Living Room Media Storage
Our Fontana entertainment center brings European-inspired craftsmanship to your living room with solid hardwood construction and hand-applied distressed finishes. Designed to accommodate screens up to 85 inches, this media console features three adjustable glass shelves behind tempered glass doors, open center compartment for components, and soft-close drawer glides. We built this piece with integrated cable management cutouts and a ventilated back panel to keep electronics cool during extended use.
The Fontana’s rich cherry finish and brushed nickel hardware complement both traditional and transitional interiors, while the solid wood frame ensures decades of daily use. Each entertainment center ships fully assembled except for the legs, which attach in minutes with our included hardware kit.
What makes our entertainment centers stand out
Materials & Construction Standards
Every Broyhill entertainment center begins with responsibly sourced hardwoods selected for consistent grain and structural integrity. We use solid wood frames on all load-bearing components, reinforced with corner blocks and metal brackets at stress points. Our furniture-grade plywood backs and shelves resist warping better than particleboard alternatives, while edge banding protects against moisture damage.
Our finishing process includes multi-step sanding, stain application, and protective topcoats that resist scratches, water rings, and UV fading. Each piece undergoes quality inspection before leaving our facility, and we stand behind our construction with a limited lifetime warranty on structural components. The same attention to detail found throughout our living room furniture collection ensures your entertainment center becomes a long-term investment rather than disposable décor.
Sizing & TV Compatibility Guide
Measure your television’s actual width before selecting an entertainment center — we recommend at least 3 inches of clearance on each side for proper ventilation and visual balance. Our 68-inch Perspectives model accommodates screens up to 70 inches, the 72-inch Attic Heirlooms handles up to 75 inches, and the 78-inch Fontana supports displays up to 85 inches.
Weight capacity varies by model but all Broyhill entertainment centers support at least 150 pounds on the top surface. Check the interior shelf dimensions against your components — gaming consoles, receivers, and cable boxes require adequate depth and height clearance for airflow. Our product specifications list interior compartment measurements and shelf spacing ranges to help you plan component placement before delivery.
Assembly & Installation
Most Broyhill entertainment centers arrive 95% pre-assembled, requiring only leg attachment using the provided hardware and hex key. The Fontana legs attach with four bolts per leg and take approximately 15 minutes total. We include adjustable leveling feet on all models to compensate for uneven floors — turn the feet clockwise to raise specific corners until the unit sits level.
For wall-mounting your television above the entertainment center, ensure the mount attaches to wall studs rather than drywall alone. We recommend positioning the TV so its center sits 42-48 inches from the floor for optimal viewing angles from standard seating heights. Route cables through the back panel cutouts before securing the console against the wall.

Entertainment Center Buying Questions
Our entertainment centers accommodate screens from 65 to 85 inches depending on the model. The 68-inch Perspectives holds TVs up to 70 inches, the 72-inch Attic Heirlooms supports up to 75 inches, and the 78-inch Fontana handles displays up to 85 inches. We recommend leaving 3 inches of clearance on each side of your TV for ventilation and visual proportion.
All models support at least 150 pounds of weight on the top surface. Measure your television’s actual width rather than the advertised screen size — a 75-inch TV typically measures 66 inches wide, requiring a console at least 72 inches to maintain proper clearance.
Most of our entertainment centers ship 95% pre-assembled and require only leg attachment using the included hardware. The process takes approximately 15-20 minutes with a standard hex key or screwdriver. The Fontana model attaches four legs with four bolts each, while the Perspectives series uses recessed base brackets that screw into pre-drilled holes.
Our white-glove delivery service includes room placement and packaging removal. Delivery crews position the entertainment center where you direct but do not mount televisions or connect electronics. Adjustable leveling feet on all models compensate for uneven floors — turn the feet clockwise to raise specific corners until the unit sits stable.
Every Broyhill entertainment center includes cable management cutouts at multiple heights on the back panel. Route HDMI cables, power cords, and speaker wires through the appropriate openings based on component placement. Use the top rear cutout for cables running to wall-mounted displays and lower ports for connections between devices on interior shelves.
We recommend organizing cables with velcro ties or reusable zip ties inside cabinets before loading components. Label similar-looking cables with tape or cable tags before threading them through openings. Our open-back design provides easy access for adding devices or troubleshooting connections without pulling the entertainment center away from the wall.
Our solid wood entertainment centers like the Fontana and Attic Heirlooms feature hardwood frames, doors, and drawer fronts throughout. Solid wood showcases natural grain variation and can be refinished if needed decades later. These pieces weigh more and carry premium pricing due to material costs.
Veneer models like the Perspectives use furniture-grade plywood cores with oak veneer surfaces. Engineered wood construction resists warping better than solid wood in humid environments and maintains consistent appearance across large panels. Both construction methods include solid wood frames at stress points and meet our lifetime structural warranty standards.
Our entertainment centers are available in the standard finishes shown for each collection — cherry for Fontana, reclaimed oak for Attic Heirlooms, and graphite gray for Perspectives. We do not offer custom stain colors on stock pieces to maintain consistent quality and faster delivery times.
For custom finish options, contact our design services team about special-order furniture built to your specifications. Custom orders require 12-16 weeks for production and carry different pricing than stock configurations. Many customers find our standard finishes coordinate beautifully with existing décor using coordinating accent colors in textiles and wall paint.
Dust weekly with a soft microfiber cloth, wiping in the direction of the wood grain. For deeper cleaning, use our recommended furniture polish or a cloth barely dampened with water, followed immediately by drying with a clean cloth. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, silicone polishes that build up over time, and abrasive scrubbing pads that scratch protective finishes.
Use coasters under beverages and felt pads under decorative objects to prevent moisture rings and scratches. Keep your entertainment center away from direct sunlight and heating vents that cause wood to dry and crack. Our multi-step finish process resists everyday wear, but refinishing services are available if you want to refresh the appearance after decades of use.
We back every entertainment center with a limited lifetime warranty on structural components including frames, joints, and drawer boxes. This covers defects in materials and workmanship for as long as you own the furniture. Moving parts like drawer glides and door hinges carry a 5-year warranty from the date of purchase.
Finish warranties vary by collection — solid wood pieces include finish protection for 1 year against manufacturing defects, while normal wear from daily use falls outside warranty coverage. Register your purchase within 30 days at our website to activate warranty protection and receive care instructions specific to your entertainment center model.
