Bartelt Blue 65 in. Console

A 65-inch wide console is designed to provide a stable and aesthetically balanced base for most flat-screen TVs up to 70 inches (measured diagonally). With a depth of 18 inches, this unit comfortably accommodates larger TV stands, ensuring your electronics remain secure while leaving enough surface area for decorative accents.

This unit requires customer assembly, and following professional best practices will ensure the best result. We recommend assembling the console on a soft, clean surface—such as a rug or the provided cardboard—to protect the hand-applied finish during the process. Following the included instructions carefully will help you secure the turned bun feet and architectural moldings properly for long-term stability.

A distressed finish is an excellent choice for active households or those with pets and children. Because this console features unique patterns like rub-throughs, nail head marks, and rasping, any minor "real-world" scratches or dings from daily use blend seamlessly into the existing design. This architectural "French Quarter" aesthetic ensures the piece maintains its character and beauty over time without requiring the delicate handling of a high-gloss surface.

Yes, the four-door design offers ample concealed storage to keep your living area clutter-free. The 18-inch depth is specifically beneficial for housing deeper components like AV receivers or gaming consoles. To maintain your electronics, we recommend ensuring proper airflow around high-heat devices, while the internal shelving helps organize routers, controllers, and media accessories out of sight.

This console is crafted from solid New Zealand Pine, a high-quality softwood known for its durability and dense grain. Unlike MDF or particleboard, solid wood furniture offers superior structural integrity and longevity. Based on our expertise, furniture built with these premium materials can last 10–15 years or more with proper care, as it is far more resistant to the sagging or warping that can affect engineered alternatives under the weight of heavy electronics.

Solid New Zealand Pine is naturally more stable than many other wood species, but all solid wood reacts to changes in humidity by slightly expanding or contracting. In humid or coastal environments, this natural movement is a sign of a genuine wood product. To protect the finish and the wood's integrity, our care guides recommend dusting regularly with a soft cloth and avoiding harsh chemicals, which helps the material adapt to your home's specific climate while preserving its structural beauty.
