Why we love this deal
For a lot of rooms, there’s always a piece of furniture or two that acts as the focal point or unifying feature, and for living and family rooms, that’s often the entertainment unit. Couches, sectionals, and armchairs are large and essential, no doubt about that, but the entertainment unit typically dictates how and where they are arranged. And when you consider just how much time you spend looking at one with your TV propped on or parallel to it, it makes you realize that style is just as important as function when you’re choosing the right one for your home. For budget-conscious shoppers looking for that perfect piece that’s sturdy enough to support your devices but not an ugly eye-sore, the HLR Entertainment Center, which is on sale now at Walmart, is the purchase for you.
The spacious entertainment unit and TV stand originally retailed for $300, but with a Walmart Flash deal going on right now you can get it on sale for 40% off. Save $121 and get the furniture, which also has cabinets for storage, for only $179 during this limited-time discount.

Why do shoppers love it?
Although the unit itself only measures 67 inches long, it can support televisions as big as 75 inches long. This is because like most entertainment units, this model is designed with specific safety features and wall mounts to evenly distribute weight, ensuring a stable, sturdy placement even when the edges of the screen far surpass the length of the entertainment unit. That said, always keep in mind the furniture’s specific weight capacity to ensure you aren’t overloading the top surface. This TV stand can hold up to 200 pounds on the top surface alone, and overall, the entire unit can withstand up to 250 pounds.
Measuring 14.9 inches wide and 25.2 inches high, this long, rectangular entertainment unit is designed in three sections. The center has an open shelf and a pull-out shelf, and then two sets of cabinets run along both sides of those. Behind the cabinet doors, you’ll find two more additional shelves, giving you six different shelves for storage and decorative purposes. The shelves in the cabinet are adjustable, so you can move them to fit larger or more unusually shaped items with ease. The cabinet doors use soft-closing hinges, preventing pinched hands or slammed fingers — ideal if you have younger children running around.
The center shelves measure 20.7 inches long and 9.05 inches wide and although the cabinet shelves are adjustable, they measure 22.28 inches long regardless. Overall, you have more than enough room to accommodate media players, games, books, electronic devices, and other living room and family room items.
The entire unit is made with a robust medium-density fiberboard material, an alternative to natural wood that has no natural knots or grain patterns, leaving a silky smooth surface behind. Available in eight colors, each unit has Roman column-shaped pine wood legs and a hand-painted finish meant to mimic North American 1950s design with a retro look.
