Short answer: Our Aurora credenza is a low, modular credenza. One unit measures 32.1 inches (81.5 cm) wide, 15.0 inches (38.2 cm) deep and 18.5 inches (47 cm) high, and you can join two or three units.
Two joined units are 64.2 inches (163 cm) wide and three are 96.3 inches (244.5 cm) wide. You can pick from four door styles plus a textured solid door in Dove, and the built-in ventilation and wire management keep a TV setup tidy. Aurora is a low, modular credenza that works as a TV stand, a sideboard or an entryway piece. Because you build it in units, the size is the main decision, followed by the finish and the doors. For help choosing between our credenzas and media units, read our guide to how to choose a credenza or media unit.

How big is one Aurora unit, and how many can you join?
The Aurora credenza is sold in 1-unit, 2-unit and 3-unit versions. Each unit has the same depth and height, and only the width changes. The widths below are combined widths, before any gap you leave between units.
How big is one Aurora unit, and how many can you join?
| Units | Width | Depth | Height | Doors and shelves |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 unit | 32.1 inches (81.5 cm) | 15.0 inches (38.2 cm) | 18.5 inches (47 cm) | 2 doors, 2 shelves |
| 2 units | 64.2 inches (163 cm) | 15.0 inches (38.2 cm) | 18.5 inches (47 cm) | 4 doors, 4 shelves |
| 3 units | 96.3 inches (244.5 cm) | 15.0 inches (38.2 cm) | 18.5 inches (47 cm) | 6 doors, 6 shelves |
Our product page rounds these to 32, 64 and 96 inches, so use the exact figures above when you measure a wall. Each shelf is 15.0 inches (38.2 cm) wide and 12.6 inches (32.1 cm) deep. Three units is the longest run we offer, so a wall wider than 96.3 inches (244.5 cm) needs another piece beside it.
What door styles does the Aurora credenza come in?
Your finish decides which doors you can choose. The doors are shipped in pairs.
What door styles does the Aurora credenza come in?
| Finish | Door styles | Door material |
|---|---|---|
| Oak | Solid, rattan | Solid: ash veneer over MDF. Rattan: ash wood with natural cane woven rattan |
| Walnut | Slatted, chevron | Ash veneer over MDF |
| Dove | Textured solid | MDF |
Solid doors give the plainest front, slatted and chevron doors add pattern, and rattan adds a woven texture, so choose solid doors for a quiet media wall and chevron or rattan for a feature piece. The doors open with a push latch.
Which finishes and materials does it use?
The credenza is made of 15 mm MDF with a 0.3 mm layer of real ash veneer. Veneer is a thin sheet of fine wood on top of MDF, which gives you the look of the grain on a stable core. Oak and Walnut are stained finishes on that ash veneer. The rattan doors are ash wood stained with a satin finish, with natural cane woven rattan.
Dove is a third finish on our Aurora credenza, and our product page lists it as MDF rather than ash veneer. It comes with the textured solid door only.
How does Aurora work as a media unit?
Our product page describes Aurora as a media unit with built-in ventilation and wire management, so modems, game consoles and other equipment stay cool and the cables stay organized. The shelves are adjustable, which lets you fit items of different heights.
We do not publish a TV weight limit for Aurora, so check the weight of your TV against the product page before buying. Measure the TV's width on its own specification sheet rather than going by the screen size, because screen size is a diagonal measurement. A TV that is wider than the credenza will overhang it. This is general advice, not a product specification.
What is in the box, and how does assembly work?
The credenza ships flat in two boxes per unit. The credenza box measures 34.8 x 19.1 x 8.6 inches (88.5 x 48.5 x 21.9 cm) and weighs 47.4 lb (21.5 kg). The doors box measures 20.6 x 18.2 x 4.3 inches (52.2 x 46.2 x 10.9 cm) and weighs 14.1 lb (6.4 kg). For planning the route into your home, see our guide to measuring stairs, elevators and doorways.
The panels connect with plastic clips, and the hardware box includes the shelf pins, the leveling feet and an Allen key. Our product page calls the assembly simple. Dust with a soft cloth, wipe spills promptly and keep the veneer out of standing moisture.
What does Aurora pair with?
Aurora pairs with wall storage above it. Our Altitude wall shelves and our Themis modular wall system both work with it. See also our guides to planning a shelving wall and living room storage.
Our Stella media unit is smaller, at 22.4 inches (57 cm) wide, and works on a small wall. Our Mensa credenza is a single wider piece at 52.8 inches (134 cm).
Our recommendation
- A TV wall or a long living room wall: two or three Aurora units, in the door style you like best.
- A small wall or an entryway: one Aurora unit, 32.1 inches (81.5 cm) wide.
- A calm look: solid doors in Oak or Dove.
- A feature piece: chevron doors in Walnut, or rattan doors in Oak.
- Hanging storage above: pair the credenza with Altitude or Themis.
