Short answer: Our Stella media unit is a compact, low TV stand in Oak or Walnut. Each module measures 22.4 x 15.0 x 15.7 inches (57 x 38 x 40 cm) without a door, and you can link up to four, so width decides whether your TV fits.
With a door, a module measures 22.4 x 15.7 x 15.7 inches (57 x 40 x 40 cm). It is made of 18 mm MDF with a melamine finish, on steel legs, and you choose open or closed storage for each module. We do not publish a TV size or weight rating for Stella, so this guide shows you how to measure rather than promising a fit.
For a comparison with our other credenzas and media units, read our guide to choosing a credenza or media unit Compare your TV's width with the width of the modules you plan to link: each Stella module is 22.4 inches (57 cm) wide. Check the weight on the product page too.

How big is the Stella media unit?
A single module is small and low. These are the assembled sizes:
- Without a door (open): 22.4 inches (57 cm) wide, 15.0 inches (38 cm) deep and 15.7 inches (40 cm) high.
- With a door (closed): 22.4 inches (57 cm) wide, 15.7 inches (40 cm) deep and 15.7 inches (40 cm) high.
- Cord opening: 15.7 x 2 inches (40 x 5 cm).
Each module ships flat. The door module box is 26 x 18.1 x 7.9 inches (66 x 46 x 20 cm) and 35.7 lb (16.2 kg), and the open module box is 26 x 18.1 x 6.7 inches (66 x 46 x 17 cm) and 30.2 lb (13.7 kg). The legs come in a separate small box. Our guide to measuring stairs, elevators and doorways explains how to plan the delivery route.
At 15.7 inches (40 cm) high, Stella is a low piece. If you want something taller, our Aurora credenza is 18.5 inches (47 cm) high per unit and our Mensa credenza is 26.5 inches (67.3 cm) high.
Which layouts can you choose, and which sections are closed?
You pick each module as open or closed. A closed module has a door, and an open module has none. The Stella media unit page lists these layouts.
Which layouts can you choose, and which sections are closed?
| Modules | Layouts on the product page |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open, or closed |
| 2 | Open, closed, left closed with right open, or left open with right closed |
| 3 | Closed, closed centre with open ends, or open centre with closed ends |
| 4 | Closed, open, or open centre with closed ends |
Stella is one unit that you can expand by adding units, which suits a wall that changes over time. Closed modules hide a router or console, and open modules keep a remote within reach. Leave clear floor in front so the doors can open.
What size TV fits on a Stella media unit?
A TV is sold by its diagonal, but its width is what matters. This is general advice, not a product specification: a 16:9 screen is about 87% of its diagonal in width, and a stand should be at least as wide as the screen. Check your own TV's width and weight on its specification sheet. We do not publish a weight limit for Stella, so read the Stella media unit page before you buy for a heavy screen. If you would like help with the numbers, you can book a free design consultation.
What is the Stella media unit made of, and which finishes are there?
Each module is made of 18 mm MDF with a melamine finish, and it stands on steel legs with felt floor protectors. The finishes are Oak and Walnut, which we also offer on our Aurora credenza. For care, dust with a soft, dry cloth. Wipe stains gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry right away, and avoid harsh cleaners because they can damage the finish. The unit carries our 5-year limited warranty.
How do the cords and assembly work?
The Stella media unit lists a cord pass-through. Each module has a 15.7 x 2 inch (40 x 5 cm) opening, so cables can run to the outlet without crossing the front.
Assembly is mostly tool-free: the hardware includes hand screws and an Allen key, with everything you need in the box. The panels connect with plastic clips and the legs attach with hand screws. The door version adds steel hinges and a lift support. You can download the assembly guide from the product page.
What does the Stella media unit pair with?
Pair it with our Stella coffee table, which also comes in Oak and Walnut, so one wood tone runs from the wall to the sofa. Our guide to living room storage shows how a media unit fits with shelving, and our guide to hiding clutter in a small living room covers closed storage more broadly. A single module, only 22.4 inches (57 cm) wide, also suits a bedroom or an entryway.
Who is the Stella media unit for, and who is it not for?
It suits a small wall, a small screen, a console and router, or a longer modular run of two to four modules with a mix of hidden and visible storage. It may not suit you if you want adjustable shelves inside, because we do not list them for Stella. Our Aurora credenza has adjustable shelves and our Mensa credenza has four height-adjustable shelves. Look elsewhere too if you need a piece taller than 15.7 inches (40 cm).
Our recommendation
- A small TV or a console and router: one closed module in Oak or Walnut.
- A TV up to about 50 inches: two modules, mixing open and closed to suit your devices.
- A 55-inch TV or larger: three or four modules, after checking the weight on the product page.
- A taller console with adjustable shelves: our Aurora credenza or Mensa credenza.
