I like repurposed items. It’s the story of my life.

What is the entertainment center made of? If it is something like MDF, or particle board, I would definitely strengthen it with a ply panel on the back, and be somewhat careful about the amount of force the unit will bear.

If it is plywood or real wood, it should be fairly sturdy, depending on the joining of the pieces. In that case a ply backing would not be a bad idea, but probably not necessary, unless you plan to put a lot of stress on it.

It a combination of plywood and real wood for the trim & facia and is very sturdy.

There will not be much stress on it but I will probably put a 1 X 4 across the back at the top as a support. It probably doesn't need it but will be enough for what it's going to be used for.
