Glued to the World Cup? Treat yourself to a new TV unit
We shoot, we score! Very and Ideal Home have a design for every taste!
Funny how one good England result can send a whole nation football crazy! No doubt, your invites have already gone out to friends and neighbours to come over and watch the match on Sunday. And if so, you might want to assess your current TV storage to ensure your set is the star of the show.

But even if you're not bothered about the progress of Captain Harry and the boys, a new TV unit will give you something to focus on while the rest of the room is jumping up and down over that missed penalty/bad tackle/poor offside decision. And Ideal Home have just the thing for ever space.

4. Best for retro style
More fabulous style: These designer doppelgängers are Very similar
If you'd rather wear an England '82 World Cup shirt than the current strip, this is probably the TV unit for you. Monty is as retro as the German coach's hairdo (a basin cut, if you haven't seen it) and is as stylish as Brazil's play. If you have a huge set it should be your first pick, as it's suitable for tellies up to 60 inches.
