What Does a TV Unit or Entertainment Unit Cost?

Prices vary with the width and height of the wall, the board you choose, the hardware and how much storage or lighting you want. A simple floating TV cabinet in melamine sits at the affordable end, while a full wall-to-wall entertainment unit with a bar section, display shelving and LED lighting is a bigger project. Our full lounge cupboard and TV unit cost guide for South Africa breaks down what drives the price so you can budget with confidence, and a free WhatsApp quote gives you an exact figure for your lounge.

Choosing the Right Material

The board you pick affects both the look and how long your TV unit lasts. Melamine is the most affordable, superwood gives a smooth painted finish, and melaply is stronger and more durable. Not sure which suits your lounge? Read our guide to superwood vs melamine vs melaply.

TV Unit, Entertainment Unit or Lounge Bar Cabinet?

A TV unit is a focused piece around your television, often wall-mounted with a few cupboards or drawers. An entertainment unit stretches along the wall with display shelving, closed storage and space for a soundbar, console and decoder. A lounge bar cabinet adds bottle storage, glass shelving and lighting for hosting. We design all three to your measurements, and we can combine them into one continuous build.

FAQ

Lounge Projects: Your Questions Answered

Common questions from Durban and KZN homeowners planning a new TV unit, entertainment cupboard or lounge bar cabinet.

How many TV units and lounge projects has El-Shaddai Interiors built in Durban?

In 25 years of carpentry we have transformed over 100 homes across Durban and KwaZulu-Natal. This page showcases a selection of our finished lounge projects, from a wall-mounted TV unit in Morningside to TV and passage storage in Berea and entertainment cupboards in Hillcrest.

How much does a custom TV unit cost in Durban?

The price depends on the width of the unit, the board you choose, the hardware, the amount of storage and extras such as LED lighting. Our lounge cupboard cost guide breaks down each factor so you can budget with confidence, and a free WhatsApp quote gives you an exact figure for your lounge.

What is the difference between a TV unit and an entertainment unit?

A TV unit is usually a single piece that holds or sits below your television, often with a few drawers or doors. An entertainment unit is a larger, wall-length build with the TV area plus cupboards, shelving, display space and sometimes a bar or study nook. Both are made to measure for your lounge.

Can you build a lounge bar cabinet?

Yes. We build lounge bar cabinets with bottle storage, glass shelving, drawers, LED lighting and closed cupboards for the things you would rather not display. Send us photos of your lounge and tell us how you entertain, and we will design a bar cabinet around it. See our lounge cupboards service for more.

Which materials do you use for TV units and entertainment cupboards?

The most common boards are melamine, superwood and melaply. Melamine is the most affordable, superwood gives a smooth painted finish, and melaply is stronger and more durable. Our material comparison guide helps you choose the right one.

Can you build a wall-mounted or floating TV unit?

Yes. Our Morningside TV unit is wall-mounted with integrated storage and a clean, floating look. Wall-mounted units keep the floor clear, make cleaning easier and suit modern lounges, and we fix them securely to your wall type.

Do you hide TV cables and decoder wiring?

Yes. We plan professional cable management into the unit so power cables, HDMI leads, decoders, routers and sound systems are tidy and out of sight, with ventilation where equipment needs to breathe.

Can you combine a TV unit with passage or hallway storage?

Yes. Our Berea project combines a built-in TV unit with passage storage, so one continuous design handles entertainment and everyday storage. It is a smart way to use awkward space and keep a busy family home organised.

Can you add LED lighting to a TV unit or entertainment cupboard?

Yes. LED strips behind or under the unit, inside shelves and in bar cabinets add warmth and make a lounge feel more finished. We wire the lighting neatly so it looks built in, not added on.

Which areas do you build TV units and lounge cupboards in?

We build across Durban and KwaZulu-Natal. The projects on this page are in Morningside, Berea and Waterfall, Hillcrest, and we also work in Westville, Pinetown, Umhlanga, Ballito and surrounding areas.

How long does it take to build and install a TV unit?

Most lounge projects take a few weeks from free consultation to completed installation, depending on size and design. Your unit is manufactured in our Durban workshop, so on-site installation is fast and minimally disruptive. We confirm the timeline in your quote.

Are your TV units built in a workshop or on site?

Your unit is manufactured in our Durban workshop and then installed in your home. This keeps quality high and keeps the mess and disruption in your lounge to a minimum.

Can I get a TV unit like one of the projects on this page?

Absolutely. Every unit we build is designed around your space, so send us photos of your lounge along with the project you like and we will design something similar to suit your wall, TV size and budget.

Can you design the unit around my TV size and sound system?

Yes. Tell us your TV size, soundbar or speaker setup, consoles and decoders, and we plan the openings, shelf depths and ventilation to suit. A good unit is designed around the equipment you actually own.

What styles and finishes can I choose from?

From minimalistic melamine finishes to wood-look boards, painted superwood, slatted panels and feature-wall materials. We help you pick a style that suits your lounge and budget.

How do I get a quote for a TV unit or entertainment cupboard?

Send photos of your lounge, rough measurements, your TV size and any inspiration pictures to Sanjeev on WhatsApp at 073 388 9591. The consultation and quote are free and no-obligation.
