Size the unit around the complete setup
Screen width is only one input. Include the stand or bracket, equipment and storage contents, then test drawer openings against seating and circulation. A wall-mounted unit needs suitable wall construction and fixings for its actual weight and contents, rather than being selected on appearance alone.
Compare the design options
