Weโve gathered our friends and families around sustainable furniture for years. These are our favorite credenzas and consoles that are sustainable, eco-friendly, and made to last.
One of the most useful pieces of furniture in your entire house, consoles and credenzas are also often the most overlooked. They can provide you with a closet’s worth of storage space, give you a discreet place to tuck away video game consoles, DVD players, and other unsightly electronics, and even anchor a room. If your TV is on top, that piece of furniture is getting more eyes on it than almost anything else in the house.
But we so often relegate consoles to the realm of hand-me-down Ikea furniture weโve had for years. So if youโre in the market for a new media console, read on for some of our favorite sustainable picks.
Why shop for a sustainable credenza?
Since the most sustainable way to shop for furniture is secondhand, youโll find some vintage furniture picks in the list below. And when weโre buying furniture new, weโre always looking for brands that craft with solid wood, rather than engineered wood โ wooden furniture takes less energy and resources to make than furniture made from synthetic or composite materials, and itโll typically leave you with a sturdier product thatโll last for years and years.
We also look for brands that use plant-based finishes rather than synthetic lacquer, along with third-party certifications like FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), Greenguard Gold, and Fair Trade.
Our criteria:
Our editors have filled our family homes with safe, sustainable furniture for over a decade. For this list, weโve compiled our favorite credenzas and media consoles from brands that are sustainable, eco-friendly, and built to last a lifetime. We regularly add new options to this list when they meet the following criteria:
- SUSTAINABLE & ECO-FRIENDLY | Weโve selected brands that are consciously undertaking measures to lessen their environmental impact and produce safe, nontoxic pieces for your home. Weโve noted the relevant certifications that back them. Youโll find options here that are FSC certified, Climate Neutral, and registered B Corps, and thatโs just the start.
- DURABLE | The options on this list use natural, organic, and high-quality recycled materials whenever possible, meaning theyโre naturally durable and will age beautifully.
- SMART FEATURES | These pieces are all thoughtfully made to accommodate your modern lifestyle. From easy assembly to wire-hiding features, the options on this list make your media setup simple.

1. Sundays
Best For | Kid-friendly wood furniture
Sustainable materials | Solid wood
Prices starting at | $1,490
Sundays designs furniture thatโs as functional as it is beautiful, and their media consoles, made primarily with solid wood, are no exception. They made a few different credenzas, but our favorite is their best seller: The Easy Edge Media Unit. It has a sleek design that looks modern without feeling overly trendy. But the best part is its curved tambour doors that give the console no sharp edges โ perfect if you have toddlers cruising around. It offers plenty of storage space to discreetly tuck away any and all gaming consoles and other odds and ends, and it comes in four natural wood options. Sundays has a couple of other beautifully designed credenzas, too, like the Tidal Media Unit and the Showcase Media Unit, and they offer free shipping to the US and Canada.
Customer Review | โNot only am I obsessed with this piece, but also just the overall experience of ordering with Sundays. Delivery is a breeze and the team takes care of set up which alleviates the typical stress that comes with ordering furniture.โ โ Spencer L. (Read more reviews.)
2. Thuma
Best For | Minimalistic furniture
Sustainable materials | Solid, upcycled wood
Prices starting at | $1,295
Nest makes one media console, called their Nest Credenza โ but they really make five different credenzas, since it comes in five different styles. Their standard model is their 2×3, featuring two open shelves and two sets of drawers on either side, anchoring a living space with plenty of storage and a low profile perfect for displaying your flat-screen TV. Thumaโs 4×3 model is twice as tall with twice the storage, and they make three other models with smaller widths. Each piece is crafted of 100% solid, upcycled wood, and has a rich walnut color that looks nice in any space. And, like all of Thumaโs furniture, the consoles are made to last a lifetime with a design thatโs both high-end and no-frills, and a Greenguard Gold certification to ensure it wonโt off-gas any dangerous chemicals.
Customer Review | โThis is so sturdy and the wood is beautiful. The package was super heavy, but everything came in great shape and looks beautiful. I also love that this is modular and can be added to later on. This is definitely worth the price!!โ โ Verified Buyer (Read more reviews.)
3. Hardman
Best For | Mid-Century Sustainable Design
Sustainable materials | FSC-certified oak, walnut, and ash hardwood
Prices starting at | $3,754
Hardman’s pieces are beautifully handcrafted from FSC-certified oak, walnut, and ash hardwoods, making each statement a sustainably long-lasting gift for your home. Their media console, the METIN Sideboard, is inspired by mid-century modern design with clean lines and is handcrafted in oak. We love this piece for its versatility, which lets it fit seamlessly into multiple rooms in your home. The piece comes in a range of sizes, and we love that you can pick a custom finish to fit your needs!
Customer Review | โBeautiful craftsmanship. Looks amazingโ โ Sharon (Read more reviews.)
4. Quince
Best For | Strong Modern Oak Consoles
Sustainable materials | Oak, Reclaimed Wood
Prices starting at | $1,600
Quince is the go-to for sustainable choices that are intentional about both function and form! We’re eyeing the Rustic Oak Sideboard, which features solid oak and thoughtfully sourced materials. The added bonus is white-glove delivery, free of charge, so you don’t have to stress about setup! If you are looking for a more modern style, we also love the Reclaimed Oak Waterfall Console Table with a sleek silhouette. Quince’s use of reclaimed wood is both part of their sustainable practice and a design choice that makes each piece completely unique!
Customer Review | โThe sideboard is exactly as advertised. Beautifully crafted, gorgeous wood tone and modern styling. Looks built in! โ โKimberly W. (Read more reviews.)
5. Hernest
Best For | Design & Storage
Sustainable materials |Oak
Prices starting at | $1,449
Hernest’s collection of media consoles is gorgeous, and each piece is guaranteed to be the focal point in any room. We’re drawn to the Lira Oak Media Console for its nods to ancient grand architecture and deep wood stain. When you shop Hernest’s collection, you actively support their push for sustainability through their partnership with the National Forest Foundation, meaning one dollar from every purchase is donated to plant a tree! If you want to add texture to your space, the Marisol Oak Media Console blends eye-catching style with simple design. Both designs also offer ample storage and come with a 5-year warranty.
Customer Review | โThe console is beautiful and very sturdy. The adjustable shelves gave me enough flexibility to store both shorter devices and taller baskets without wasting much space.โ โEd C. (Read more reviews.)
6. CB2
Best For | FSC-certified credenzas
Sustainable materials | FSC-certified wood
Prices starting at | $1,299
CB2, Crate & Barrelโs more sophisticated, sustainable older sibling, aims to make the furniture industry more sustainable with their use of FSC-certified wood, Oeko-Tex Standard 100-certified fabrics, and organic cotton. To that end, they make a handful of credenzas and media consoles with FSC wood (meaning the wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests) that donโt sacrifice quality or design. We love their beautiful Alpena Dark Acacia Wood Credenza, which truly could elevate any room! We’re also eyeing the Davidson Fluted Warm Oak Console for a softer look that is FSC-certified!
Customer Review | โI love the natural wood. Itโs modern and fun but still has a collected, unique feel. We have it in our sitting room currently, but it feels versatile enough to use in the guest room or tv room.โ โ Margaret (Read more reviews.)
7. West Elm
Best For | Variety
Sustainable materials | FSC certified wood
Prices starting at | $259
Have a specific design in mind for your media console? West Elm probably has it. From simple and streamlined to huge and accommodating to strikingly attractive, West Elmโs media consoles are often sustainably sourced, Fair Trade, Greenguard or FSC certified. We love the sturdy simplicity of this Mid-Century Media Console, made in a Fair Trade factory with FSC wood, or the size of the Emilia Media Collection. We also have our eyes on the Pierce Media Console, which has an elegantly elevated, Scandi-inspired design. Plus, the brandโs more affordable models start at less than $300.
