The Complete Guide to Buying a Dark Wood TV Unit Online

To buy a dark wood TV unit online with confidence, measure your wall and screen first, check exactly what the finish is made of, study close up photographs of the grain and colour, and confirm load capacity, cable access and assembly before ordering. This step by step guide explains the differences between walnut, dark and smoked oak, espresso stains and printed effect finishes, so you know what you are looking at on a product page. We show you how to measure the wall, your seated eye level and the route into the room, why dark furniture looks larger than pale furniture of the same size, and how to judge colour accurately from photographs. We then cover how walls, floors and lighting change the way dark wood looks, how to coordinate it with sideboards and other pieces, what to check on arrival and how to care for dark finishes so they stay looking rich for years....
