There is home furniture available that not only holds your sub-woofer, central speakers and all your satellite boxes, but also your games console, iPod dock and much more Here is a short review of the entertainment cabinets and consoles available from a selection of American home furniture manufacturers. It does not cover everything, but it provides you with information on the entertainment furniture available from some of the country's top furniture manufacturers. Stickley Furniture Gustav Stickley and his family were pioneers in many of the techniques used in American furniture manufacturing, and he himself was a forerunner in the American Craftsman style which developed from the British Arts and Crafts Movement. The use of quarter sawn oak on center post construction is one of the Stickley techniques that has been extended to general applications, where the beautiful rays and flecks of the oak can be shown on all four sides of the post rather than just on two as previous, and another is the type of construction that shows the carpentry joints in full display rather than hidden. Stickley offers a number of home entertainment furniture options, ranging from a simple stand to a 68 inch TV console with space for up to 6 boxes or DVD storage areas. Depending on your choice of design, you can have your TV visible permanently or enclosed behind cabinet doors. The Stickley rage of TV consoles is available in a selection of woods and finishes to match your exiting furniture. Simply Amish Simply Amish focuses on simple hand-crafted hardwood furniture, while also offering a high degree of customization. The Simply Amish entertainment furniture includes TV games cabinets with space for the TV, and cupboards and drawers for various components and games consoles. The firm also offers full entertainment cabinets that extend to 128 inches, and provide space for speakers, DVDs, CDs and games consoles. They can also be designed to combine a TV console with display cabinets and ample storage cupboards and drawers. Simply Amish furniture is solidly built with a choice of woods, finishes and colors. You are almost certain to find a wood and finish to match you existing living room furniture. The company also hand-crafts TV bureaus for your bedroom. Every piece of Simply Amish furniture is made just for you, and is tracked though manufacture with your name on it. The Custom Shoppe Like those above, The Custom Shoppe furniture is 100% Made in America, and hand-crafted from 100% solid wood. Both the materials and the craftsmanship are to a very high standard, and every piece is individually made for each client. But that's not all: you can have your own designs made up for you in the wood and finish of your choice. There is an entire section on the Custom Shoppe website devoted to entertainment furniture. They offer a wide range, although the firm's entertainment consoles are particularly impressive. Many of these are customer designs, so good that they were retained in the catalog. The following are just two examples of this: The Kari Home Theater This is fitted with what is known as the 'Reversica' mechanism. This TV console offers the TV stand itself, with two display unites sitting either side of it. The console comes in the form of a set of shelves holding a flat screen TV, either side of which are two glass-doored cabinets; the console rotates 180 degrees so that the TV can be hidden to show a set of bookshelves or other display shelves - whichever you prefer. This a fabulous-looking display unit until TV time, when the central part is rotated to reveal the TV. This is a maximum of 108W x 96H x 28.5D inches. The Raymond Plasma Lift This is similar to the above, with two display cabinets either side of a display unit. Only, in this case the plasma or LED TV set is raised from the lower cabinet by means of a remote controlled motor. When down, a beautiful 3-shelf display unit is visible, and when up the TV can be viewed. The dimensions of the components of this unit are variable, with a maximum of 126W x 96H x 30.5D in inches. You can even purchase TV lifts that remotely raise a flat-screen TV set at the end of your bed. There are many other types of entertainment furniture available from American furniture manufacturers, and these are just a very small selection what is available. These were chosen to give you an idea of what is possible, and most entertainment cabinets and consoles will conform to one or other of these general designs. However, keep in mind that if you are unable to find something that suits you, you can always have your entertainment furniture made to your own design by a firm such as The Custom Shoppe. This firm is just an example, and by no means the only American furniture manufacturer that will provide this service. You will find some fabulous entertainment furniture on the Patterson Furniture store website and at their Roswell and Lilburn showrooms. Patterson offers a range of Atlanta furniture along with entertainment cabinets from a number of American furniture manufacturers.
