Mount Your TV and Hide Every Cable

Custom entertainment centers and media walls built for homes in Scottsdale.

If your TV sits on a stand with cables draped down the back and your sound bar balances on a stack of remotes, a custom entertainment center organizes everything into one built-in unit that mounts the screen and hides wires behind closed panels. Knotty Customs LLC builds wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling media walls in Scottsdale that integrate TV mounting, component shelving, and storage for games, books, or decor, so the living room looks intentional instead of cluttered. Cable management channels are routed through the back of the cabinetry, and outlets are positioned inside the unit so power cords stay out of sight.

Each entertainment center is designed around your TV size and viewing height, and shelving is spaced to fit your receiver, gaming consoles, and cable box. Cabinet sections flank the TV opening for concealed storage, and adjustable shelves accommodate media components or display items. Doors can be solid wood, glass-front, or open shelving depending on whether you want a clean front or visible decor. The unit is built from plywood with hardwood face frames and finished in paint or stain to match your trim or other cabinetry. Installation includes anchoring the unit to wall studs, mounting the TV bracket, and running cables through access holes drilled in the back panel.

If you want to replace a freestanding TV stand with a built-in system that organizes cables and creates a focal point in your Scottsdale living room, contact Knotty Customs LLC to discuss sizing and storage layout.

How the unit is sized and what gets built into it

Knotty Customs LLC measures the wall in your Scottsdale home where the entertainment center will be installed, noting outlet locations, wall studs, and any windows or doors that limit cabinet width. TV dimensions are confirmed so the opening is sized with enough clearance for the mount and ventilation. Shelving heights are planned based on your components, and drawer or cabinet sections are positioned where you need storage for remotes, DVDs, or charging cables.

Once installed, you will notice that the TV sits centered on the wall without a visible stand underneath, and all cables run through the back of the unit instead of hanging down in front of the baseboard. Shelves hold your receiver and gaming consoles with enough space for airflow, and cabinet doors conceal items you do not want on display. The unit spans the full width or height of the wall, so it looks like permanent architecture rather than a piece of furniture pushed against drywall.

Installation begins with anchoring the cabinet frame to wall studs using lag bolts or construction screws, then leveling the base so shelves sit flat. The TV mount is bolted through the back panel into studs, and cable access holes are drilled where wires need to pass from components to the screen or power outlets. Adjustable shelves are installed on shelf pins, and doors are hung on soft-close hinges. The crew routes cables through the back and secures them with zip ties or cable clips to keep everything organized. You can mount the TV and connect components as soon as the unit is installed.

Details homeowners ask about before installation starts

Common questions involve how the TV is mounted inside the unit, whether components get enough ventilation, and what happens if you upgrade to a larger TV later.

How is the TV mounted inside the entertainment center?
A steel TV bracket is bolted through the back panel of the unit directly into wall studs, so the screen is supported by the wall rather than the cabinet. The opening is sized with a few inches of clearance on each side for the mount and cables.
What if I want to upgrade to a larger TV in the future?
The TV opening can be designed a few inches larger than your current screen, or the back panel can be left open so a bigger mount can be installed later. You should mention plans to upgrade during the design phase so the opening is sized accordingly.
How do you keep components from overheating?
Shelves are spaced to allow air circulation above and below receivers, game consoles, and cable boxes, and vent holes can be drilled in the back panel if needed. Avoid stacking components directly on top of each other without a gap.
Can the unit include hidden storage for remotes and charging cables?
Yes, drawers or cabinet sections can be added below or beside the TV opening for remote controls, controllers, and charging stations. Doors and drawers keep clutter out of sight while keeping frequently used items accessible.
What happens if the wall is not wide enough for a full wall-to-wall unit?
The unit is built to the width of your wall, and filler panels or open shelving can be added on one or both sides if you want the cabinet to extend into corners. The crew measures during the site visit and designs the layout to fit your space.
