Wall mounted unit for Blu Ray player, router etc.?

edinburgher

We're going to have our TV wall mounted to keep it out of the way of the baby and free up some floor space.

I've tried to find reasonable looking wall mounted units that can be used for the V1rgin box, Blu Ray player, console etc. but am not finding much to choose from (not sure if it's my searches or the internet!)

Something along the lines of this from Ike@, not sure I'm a big enough fan of this one to opt for it.

Any suggestions for websites/search strings? I've tried 'wall TV bench' and 'wall TV unit' so far. Ideally online shopping, not got a lot of time to visit shops at the mo.

The one you have linked is floor standing? I have my tv on the wall but I have the dvd player etc on a floor standing unit so that way there is only one cable going up the wall which we have chased into the wall so its hidden.

If you get a wall mounted one you will have the cable from each box hanging down to the sockets near the floor.

Does it have to be wall mounted?

Do you mean something like this?https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00623RRAU/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=569136327&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B007U91OC2&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=M41PBATVETMBF3G2AQPY

Argh - thought it was wall mounted!

Yes, it needs to be wall mounted to free up some of our (minimal) floor space and to keep it away from the baby. Cables will all be chased into the wall, expecting the only visible wires to be short cable lengths for any power cords near the floor/sockets.

No, I didn't mean like the item you posted, basically looking for boxes like the Ike@ one, but designed to be fitted as floating units on the wall.

In your defence, after reading all the details on the Ikea one, it does say that it can be wall mounted.

Ok, I searched wall mounted media consoles and stands

I had seen all of those, thanks (long day on Go0gle)! Not seeing anything nicer than the Ike@ ones for the money yet, will probably just go with one of their smaller units (the wall space available is only 4' or so).

I'm surprised that there's not more choice, wall mounting TVs seems to be the default choice in our neck of the woods

Cheers for looking :coffee:

I agree, you would think that there would be more choice. Hope it looks great when its all done
