Several models allow you to choose a finish. Common finishes include oak, walnut, mocha, espresso, natural, matte black, black satin, or stainless steel.Firebox OptionsThe built-in electric firebox comes equipped with either a traditional log set or a contemporary glass ember bed – several models allow you to customize which type of firebox display you prefer.FeaturesWhile the typical media console is the horizontal (landscape) design, several are configured to fit in corners (perfect for a bedroom or condo living room).All media consoles feature generous storage compartments, cabinet space, and shelving so you can neatly store (or hide) your collection of remotes, media components, speakers and DVDs.They also come equipped with a heavy duty surface for housing your television – the platforms on some models support TVs of up to 60 inches.See for yourselfWatch our slideshow of 18 media consoles manufactured by our friends at Dimplex.
