Four entertainment niches, media centers, or TV armoire cabinets that appear outdated today.

Remember these?  Armoires for your TV?

How about this media center?

Homes built in the mid- to late-1990s and early 2000s added entertainment niches for those big deep TV sets.  Now they are outdated and functionally obsolete.  They are a turn-off to younger buyers.

Do-it-yourself entertainment centers were very popular in Phoenix.  Not popular nowadays with wider, thinner TV sets.

    I still haven’t been able to give away my armoire - and it’s a really cool one from Pottery Barn - 15+ yrs ago. My new TV fits in it even tho the cabinet is way deeper than it needs to be now.

    Our old armoire is in the unfinished basement holding other obsolete stuff we haven’t been able to get rid of. (Yes, that does include audio cassettes and VHS tapes. I’m hanging my head in shame.)
