Rosewood TV units — dense, richly figured media consoles for export.
A media console has to carry real weight and still look like the room's best piece. Rosewood gives buyers both: the hardest, heaviest timber in our range under a television, soundbar and streaming kit, and a deep golden-brown-to-chocolate heartwood no stain can imitate. We manufacture rosewood — Indian rosewood, or sheesham — TV units in Jodhpur, legally sourced with CITES-compliant handling, FSC and EUDR-ready, finished to your spec and shipped from a single trial order up to repeat container volumes.
The densest wood in the range, under a screen that has to last.
A TV unit is one of the hardest-worked pieces in the home. It holds the dead weight of a large television and soundbar, carries streaming boxes and games consoles that run warm, and takes constant handling as cables are swapped and drawers opened. Rosewood is built for exactly that load. Indian rosewood — sheesham, botanically Dalbergia sissoo — is the flagship hardwood of the Jodhpur cluster and one of the densest, heaviest timbers we work, so a long, low console top resists the dents, scratches and ring-marks that quickly tire softer woods. That same close, interlocked grain grips screws, hinges and drawer runners firmly, keeping the cabinet square and smooth-running for years, while the wood's natural oils give it genuine longevity. What makes rosewood the premium choice, though, is the look: a deep golden-brown to chocolate heartwood shot through with darker contrasting streaks and ribbon figure, so every unit carries the kind of warmth and depth buyers associate with heirloom furniture — the focal point of the room. Properly seasoned and finished it is an easy-living indoor wood, ideal for living rooms, media rooms, lounges and premium hospitality floors.

Heartwood colour and figure vary from one rosewood board to the next, which is why we recommend approving a physical finish panel before production. Request a rosewood TV unit sample and we will send grain and finish references for your range. For the full species profile, see the rosewood material guide, or the closely related sheesham wood guide.
Compact consoles to long low media credenzas.
Every dimension below is a standard starting point — we build rosewood TV units to your exact width, height, door count and internal layout for contract, retail and private-label programmes. As a rule of thumb, allow the cabinet to sit 15-30 cm wider than the screen's footprint on each side.
| Type | Suits screen | Width | Depth | Height |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compact console | Up to ~55 in | 110-130 cm · 43-51 in | 38-42 cm · 15-17 in | 45-50 cm · 18-20 in |
| Standard media unit | ~55-65 in | 140-160 cm · 55-63 in | 40-45 cm · 16-18 in | 45-55 cm · 18-22 in |
| Wide low credenza | ~65-85 in | 180-200 cm · 71-79 in | 42-48 cm · 17-19 in | 45-60 cm · 18-24 in |
| Tall / entertainment unit | ~55-65 in | 150-180 cm · 59-71 in | 42-45 cm · 17-18 in | 60-75 cm · 24-30 in |
Build options
Two-, three- or four-bay fronts; drawer banks; cabinet doors; open soundbar and console shelves; adjustable internal shelving; book-matched grain fronts to showcase rosewood's figure. Rear cable cut-outs, pass-through ports and vented backs come standard, with brass, matt-black iron or turned-wood hardware and optional soft-close runners and hinges. Hand-carved, inlay and brass-detail fronts available for premium and heritage ranges.
Finishes
Natural and clear-matt to let the heartwood speak, through honey, walnut and deep-brown tones, plus hand-rubbed wax or oil for an heirloom sheen — all in CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant formulations, with sealed satin or matt tops that wipe clean and resist the heat of AV equipment.
Packing & shipping
Assembled or knockdown (flat-pack / RTA) to cut freight and breakage, with carton, retail-ready, Amazon-FBA-ready or branded packaging. ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing, shipped FOB or CIF from Mundra / Nhava Sheva.
One premium console, several channels.
Living & media rooms
The classic use — a long, low console that carries the screen and soundbar, hides the cables and stores media behind rich rosewood figure. The depth of colour makes it the piece buyers feature in the catalogue and style for the room set.
Retail & online sellers
A dense hardwood console with genuine heartwood figure photographs beautifully and carries a premium price. We supply retail-ready and Amazon-FBA-ready packaging for independent stores, chains and online sellers running a solid-wood programme.
Hospitality & contract
Hotel-room and lounge media units that take daily handling and read as upscale. Rosewood's hardness and sealed finishes stand up to commercial use; build to hospitality and contract furniture specs.
Rosewood documented to clear your market cleanly.
Rosewood carries one extra sourcing question most woods do not: Dalbergia is a CITES-listed genus, so legality and traceability matter from the first order. We handle every rosewood shipment with CITES-compliant documentation and Vriksh timber-legality verification, with FSC chain-of-custody on request and EUDR-ready geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence. We provide US Lacey Act declaration support, UK Timber Regulation coverage, and CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant finishes, with social and quality assurance under SEDEX / SMETA, ISO and SGS inspection, and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing. Certificate references go directly to serious buyers — never published.

Finished to your brief, built to carry years of service.
Rosewood's density and natural oils are its headline durability features: a well-seasoned, properly finished rosewood top carries the sustained weight of a large television and soundbar and resists the dents and scratches that soften the look of lesser woods on a hard-working console. Day to day, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately — no furniture wood should be left wet. Avoid harsh solvents and abrasive pads, and keep the piece out of prolonged direct sun, which can lighten the deep heartwood over time. A periodic wax or light re-oil feeds the surface and keeps the golden-brown-to-chocolate figure rich and lustrous. Dense fibre means hinges and runners stay firmly seated, so doors and drawers keep opening smoothly and the long top sits flat. Vented backs and open console shelving let AV equipment run cool. Because the wood moves with humidity, we kiln-dry and season thoroughly before building for export, and full care and finish guidance ships with every order so your retail and hospitality customers get consistent advice.

Rosewood TV unit sourcing, answered.
Is rosewood good for a TV unit?
Yes. Rosewood — Indian rosewood, or sheesham (Dalbergia sissoo) — is one of the densest, hardest furniture hardwoods we work, so a media console top carries the dead weight of a large television, soundbar and streaming boxes without bowing, denting or ring-marking. Its tight, interlocked grain grips hinges, pulls and drawer runners firmly, keeping a long, low cabinet square and smooth-running for many years, and its deep golden-brown to chocolate heartwood with dark contrasting streaks reads as a premium, heirloom focal point. It is an indoor living-room and media-room wood.
What is rosewood and is it the same as sheesham?
The rosewood we build with is Indian rosewood, botanically Dalbergia sissoo and known across India as sheesham — the flagship hardwood of the Jodhpur furniture cluster. It is a true dense hardwood with rich dark heartwood, dramatic figure and natural oils that make it durable and lustrous. Because Dalbergia is a CITES-listed genus, we handle every rosewood order with CITES-compliant documentation alongside Vriksh timber-legality verification, so the wood is fully traceable and legal into your market.
What size rosewood TV unit do I need for my television?
As a guide, a media console should be at least as wide as the screen's stand and ideally 15-30 cm (6-12 in) wider on each side for balance and soundbar room. Our standard rosewood TV units run roughly 120-200 cm (47-79 in) wide for screens from about 50 to 85 inches, 40-45 cm (16-18 in) deep and 45-60 cm (18-24 in) high to set the screen at a comfortable seated eye line. We build to your exact width, height, door count and internal layout for retail, contract and private-label programmes.
Do your rosewood TV units include cable management and ventilation?
Yes. We build in rear cable cut-outs and pass-through ports, open or vented back panels for AV components, and open shelving sized for streaming boxes, soundbars and gaming hardware. Drawers and cabinet doors store remotes and media, and we add wire channels and adjustable shelves to your specification so the finished unit runs cool and tidy.
What is your minimum order for rosewood TV units?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL (part-container). For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and we consolidate rosewood TV units with coffee tables, sideboards, beds, décor and other categories into a single mixed container.
How do you care for a rosewood wood TV unit?
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately; avoid standing water, harsh solvents, abrasive pads and prolonged direct sun, which can lighten the deep heartwood over time. A periodic wax or light re-oil keeps the figure rich and lustrous. Rosewood's density and natural oils mean it resists everyday knocks and the weight of AV equipment well, and full care and finish guidance ships with every order.
Sample the heartwood and finish, then ship from one container up.
Approve the grain figure, finish and hardware on a physical sample, then scale from a trial order to repeat container volumes on a 30-45 day lead time — QC-governed and documented for your market.
