MINNEAPOLIS — An exclusive three-piece collection of Maria Yee’s EcoLuxury media consoles is available at about 70 Best Buy Magnolia Home Theater stores in New York and Los Angeles.
The consoles are made of environmentally friendly materials, including BambooTimbre, Yee’s patent-pending, eco-friendly technique that flattens, layers and bonds bamboo culms in defined patterns. All Maria Yee products are hand crafted with a proprietary process rooted in stringent environmental practices and innovative techniques.
 Maria Yee’s Belvedere media console is constructed of BambooTimbre, flattened bamboo culms that are layered and bonded to ensure structural integrity. |

“Our collaboration with Best Buy to create a furniture line that provides customers with options to complete their home entertainment needs is based on spending countless hours listening and learning from the consumer,” said Maria Yee, the company’s founder, who visited many Magnolia stores in developing the consoles.
“As our team created a design blueprint for the media consoles, we had the opportunity to document the wants and needs of the Magnolia Home Theater customers to offer a unique, quality experience to consumers,” she said. “Our rapidly renewable BambooTimbre products were a perfect fit, combining an eco-friendly new material with our California contemporary designs.”
The three EcoLuxury media consoles sold at Best Buy are:
+ The Pasadena Media Console – a 66-inch, three-door console for flat-panel TVs up to 60 inches.
+ The Malibu Media Console – a 60-inch, two-door console for flat-panel TVs up to 50 inches.
+ The Belvedere Media Console – a 75-inch, two-door, two-drawer console for flat-panel TVs up to 72 inches.
Features include easy access for equipment, a ventilation system and vibration control. The consoles also feature high-quality, concealed under-mount drawer glides, which ensure the user can’t jar the contents when closing a drawer; and an acoustic fabric-covered panel that encloses the center speaker drawer to provide better sound quality.
Retail price points range from $999 to $1,799.
“As more and more people have invested in new high-definition and flat-panel televisions, Best Buys has seen a significant increase in demand for furniture to accompany and properly showcase these high-end purchases,” said Mike Mohan, vice president of consumer electronics at Best Buy. “Our customers are looking for complete, end-to-end product solutions for their home entertaining needs, and Maria Yee’s furniture is an ideal fit that matches product design with function.”
