What this template builds for you
The hard part of a media console isn't structure — it's cables. One TV, one Switch, one PS5, one HomePod, four speaker cables, one Apple TV. Ten cables to hide, vent, and reach from a remote.
This template auto-handles: 2–4 × 60 mm cable ports through the back panel, rear ventilation slots (mandatory for PS5 heat), mixed drawer + shelf layouts (drawers for controllers + game discs, shelves for consoles that need airflow), and IR-pass-through slots so hidden remotes still work.
Width recommendation: TV width + 40 cm of side storage (65" TV = 145 cm + 40 = 185 cm console width). Height: eye-center lands on the upper-third of the TV when seated (sofa seat 40 + 50 cm = ~90 cm viewing height, so console top 95–110 cm). Retail wall-fit media consoles: $700–1,500. DIY material cost: $150–300. And it's sized to your TV — when you upgrade, you can modify the console rather than replace the whole thing.

When you'd build one
220 cm console for the new living room — quoted at $1,500; in-house material is $300.
PS5 + Switch + Apple TV need hiding, ventilation, IR remote-pass — retail doesn't do all three.
Full-wall integrated unit — woodworking gets you a seamless join no off-the-shelf can match.
Bought a 65" to replace the old 50", and the 120 cm console doesn't fit anymore — rebuild to size.

FAQ
Does the PS5 actually need vents?+
Yes. PS5 exhaust runs up to 60 °C, and a sealed cabinet shortens its life. Either rear louvers or top ports work.
Cable port diameter?+
60 mm clears an HDMI head. Use 80 mm if you need to pass an AC plug through.
TV weight — will the console handle it?+
65" TV is ~25 kg. The algorithm warns based on width and panel thickness, but anything ≥ 18 mm top × ≤ 200 cm wide is fine.
How many shelves does a console need?+
Minimum two: upper for consoles (with airflow), lower for controllers / cables (drawer is best). Add a tier for amplifier if you've got hi-fi.
What finish?+
Media consoles don't touch food. Water-based PU is the easiest (2–3 coats, sand once) and most wear-resistant. Hardwax oil if you want a more tactile surface.
