Finally – the perfect solution to view your TV from any angle! Do you have a seating area opposite your bed or are you using your cabinet as a room divider? Now you don’t have to be restricted to having your TV face only one direction. Our 360 Swivel lift allows you to rotate your TV 360 degrees via a handy little remote control. Not to mention, our swivel cabinets are loaded with other amazing features – built-in storage with infrared relay system, Ethernet port for external controls, and a built-in wire management system that includes 2 HDMI ports and cables.

The Crystal Pointe 360 Swivel TV lift cabinet was the first swivel model introduced on our site. Since its debut, it has been a HUGE hit! We recently completed production on our newest swivel model – Prism 360 Swivel. Our standard, non-swivel Prism has been a long time favorite of decorators and customers alike, who are looking to add some modern flair to their space. Prism 360 Swivel gives you all the style of the original Prism cabinet, with the ability to view your TV no matter where you are in the room. As an added bonus, Prism Swivel is also available in an XL size.

While it may seem hard to believe while there’s a blizzard burying the Northeast, but spring really is just around the corner. And with the warmer, sunnier weather comes the time for us to brighten up our homes by replacing dreary winter décor with fun spring designs. If you have spring plans to revamp your home, why not get your spring cleaning out of the way at the same time? Our TV lift cabinets are a perfect combination of both re-organizing and re-decorating. Many cabinets have finishes and designs that just scream “Spring!”

Usually, when I think of spring influenced décor, I think of light colors like pastels, whites and creams. For storage needs, TV lift cabinets provide storage for your TV and electronics. Sometimes, there’s even extra room for speakers, pictures, DVDs or anything else you want to hide away.  Below are my favorite spring TV lift cabinets, what do you think?:

Belle Blue

Belle Blue has a beautiful light blue finish reminiscent of Robin’s eggs – which just happens to be one of the first signs of spring! The soft curves and intricate door and drawer pulls really make this cabinet a stand out piece in any home.

Hamptons

One of our newest cabinets, Hamptons is finished in pure white.  Clean lines and brushed nickel pulls make this cabinet fit right in whether you have traditional or contemporary style.

Harbor Weathered White

Harbor is the perfect addition to any room where you want to introduce the shabby chic, antique look. The accordion doors open up to allow TV viewing with the lift up or down.

We here at TVLiftCabinet.com are always trying to introduce fresh, new designs. With TV size and technology constantly evolving, we saw the need for cabinets that house larger TVs and ones that can accommodate the ever-popular sound bar speaker. As a result, we have unveiled a number of new cabinets on the site – have you noticed? Over the next few weeks, I’m going to present each cabinet on the blog to give you a quick rundown of the new additions. If you like what you see, click the link in the blog article for more information, images and the ‘Add to Cart’ button. Below are the first two cabinets, allow me to introduce: Ocean Avenue and Nantucket – Happy shopping!

If I had to describe Ocean Avenue in two words, they would be ‘modern’ and ‘chic’. The rich espresso finish really accentuates the zebra pattern in the wood. Your components are stored behind the smoked glass doors. Modern design aside, the cabinet can hold a large TV – up to 65”. Click here for the exact maximum dimensions and to get the full list of features of images.

On a more traditional note, meet Nantucket. Made in the USA by Amish craftsmen, this cabinet is one of my personal favorites. I love how it looks like there are a bunch of small drawers, when actually there is TONS of storage behind 2 doors and 3 center drawers. Not to mention there is space for a sound bar in the cubby. The distressed finish really tops it off. Click here for all the details!

Lately, I have been hearing a ton about Pinterest. What is Pinterest, you ask? I was asking the same question until recently. Pinterest is a self-described virtual pinboard. Users ‘pin’ pictures of things they love and share these pictures with other users. See a picture of cupcakes that look delicious? Click the picture and you’ll be taken to the recipe. Intrigued by the picture of a TV lift cabinet? Simply click the picture and you can find more information and even purchase it! You can find pretty much anything on Pinterest, not just recipes and furniture. It’s great for finding inspiration when decorating, ideas for fall fashion and hilarious internet memes. Are you a fan of DIY projects? Pinterest is FULL of DIY ideas. From home décor to party favors, you’re sure to find something you love. If you’re reading our blog, then you have to check out our Pinterest page. There you’ll find pictures of all our cabinets, including some fun projects that are currently in the works!

Since I moved into my home earlier this year, I have constantly been searching for inspiration when it comes to decorating. Each room is a blank canvas and the possibilities really are endless. It’s amazing how with a simple coat of paint on the walls, you can completely transform a room. Sometimes making your space an accurate depiction of who you are can be much harder than it seems. Case in point, in 6 months I have already painted then repainted my living room and dining room. Once all the painting was done, I moved on to furnishing. I thought my best strategy would be to tackle one room at a time. That strategy quickly went down the drain and it now has turned into a little bit in this room, a little bit in that. But finally, all is coming together. I’ve come up with a few pointers along the way for us newbies who are decorating for the first time or even for those of us who are just looking to revive our current décor.

1. Never buy out of necessity. What I mean by this is don’t just buy the first sofa you see because you need one and you need one now. Furniture usually a) is pricey and b) is the first impression you will give someone when they come into your home. Put thought and care into each piece you buy.

2. Pick one centerpiece and build the room around it. I wanted a rustic style living room so I bought a table to set the tone and purchased pieces to match. You can start with anything, it doesn’t have to be a table. Try a sofa, a TV lift cabinet or even window treatments.

3. I have always been told to decorate the room first and then paint. I did it backwards and was very happy with the results. I feel that painting is the quickest and easiest way to personalize a space. Especially if you can’t afford to furnish it all at once. A splash of color is a great starting point.

These are just three tips I came up with based on my own experience but like anything, they won’t apply to everyone. What are some other tips for decorating that I might have missed?

I’ve always been one who enjoys the convenience of online shopping over dragging myself to the mall and fighting off the crowds – especially when I am looking for something specific. Now that I have a home that is in desperate need of furniture and décor, my preference for online shopping concerned me a bit. With not being able to see the furniture before I buy or having the immediate assistance from a salesperson, I thought the time had finally come to put online shopping behind me. So, I put on my best furniture shopping shoes and hit the pavement.  I bought all new living room furniture and a new bedroom set.  Not to say that I do not love what I bought BUT shortly after my venture into the brick and mortar world of furniture shopping, I went back to my online shopping roots. I wanted to see what was out there.

Like all of us, I have my own personal taste and therefore I often have an image in my head of exactly what I am looking for. I started browsing and before long, I came across some pieces that were just ME.  I started ordering. And ordering. And ordering some more. Pretty soon, most of the furniture I had purchased for my home was ordered online. “Well, you never had the chance to see it first”, you might say. True, but I was willing to take the risk. In my experience, everything I bought looked exactly like it did online because I did my due diligence.

For the larger purchases like a TV lift cabinet, I carefully read reviews. Other buyers give the best insight into quality, function and how true to the online image the product actually is. Buyer reviews were usually the make it or break it final word for me. Some items I loved had reviews that the color was different in real life or the soft bedding that looked so comfy online was rough to the touch. Always read reviews and you can’t go wrong.

“But what about not having the assistance of a salesperson?” I actually preferred the online shopping environment when it came to getting assistance for my questions. Most online shopping sites now have some sort of live chat, which allows you to go to go the salesperson, not the other way around – no pressure furniture shopping, who knew? Whenever I needed to call in to speak with someone directly, I always spoke with a live person.

I found the best thing about online shopping to be that the options are almost endless. Whenever I went into a furniture store, I felt constrained to what they had available on the floor. Like I said, I love the furniture I bought from the brick and mortar stores, but the pieces were bought out of necessity and were the best of few options. It is great that when you are shopping for a TV lift cabinet or TV console for example, you can just look it up online and have tons of options available to you.

I am definitely a convert to shopping for furniture online. I wanted to share my experience to help people who might be hesitant to take the plunge. If you are a dedicated online shopper like me, I’d love to know what your pros and cons are of shopping on the web. Is there something you feel that online retailers could do to improve your experience? Let me know in the comments!

Do you have speakers or a sound bar that you would like to fit within one of our TV lift cabinets?  If so, you may be wondering what cabinets would work best for your audio equipment. We have many large traditional and modern lift consoles that are designed with space specifically for speakers and sound bars.

LIFT CABINETS BEST SUITED FOR SOUND BARS

Our Banyan Creek XL, Remington, Concord, and Soho TV lift cabinets are best suited to store a long sound bar.  The Concord has a cubby space towards the top of cabinet geared for the sound bar, whereas the other three cabinets have a pull out drawer with interchangeable wood and speaker cloths. The drawer front panel can be changed to speaker cloth for maximum sound quality.

LIFT CABINETS BEST SUITED FOR SPEAKERS

If you have speakers, we have several more options available for you.  Most of our large cabinets are designed with at least one interchangeable wood panel drawer or cabinet door.  The wood panels can be removed and switched out with speaker cloth panel.  The list of cabinets that are designed with speaker cloth panels are Banyan Creek, Craftsman, Coastal Creation, Estates, Kensington, Nottingham, Restoration, Sycamore, and Willowcraft.

Selecting furniture for your home can be stressful, especially if you are selecting furniture online.  However, here at TVLiftCabinet.com, we have been successfully selling TV lift consoles online for more than 10 years.  What is the secret to our success?

The secret is making sure our customers feel comfortable shopping with us.  How do we achieve this?  Well, for starters we provide helpful tools to assist our customers with their decision making process.  We can send wood stain samples on any of our TV lift cabinets to our customers.  By having the samples in hand at their homes, our customers can determine if the color will work with their home décor.

We also provide detail dimension drawings on all our TV lift cabinets.  The drawings can be found under the Specification Tab on each product page.  Below is a screenshot demonstrating where to locate drawing on our website.

Having the interior and exterior dimensions on a cabinet can help customers determine whether the cabinet will work in the space they had in mind and whether their electronic equipment will fit in storage space compartments.  If customers are still unsure whether cabinet will work within their home, we recommend using cardboard and building a rough model cutout of the TV lift console dimensions.  While one person holds the cardboard model up, another person can stand back and see if the dimensions will work within space.

Customers can also call us at 877-377-5435 to speak to a live person.  It is always refreshing to have a knowledgeable Customer Service Representative there to assist you with your questions.

Ultimately, we are successful because we take the stress out of shopping for furniture.  We can achieve this by educating our customers on our products and offering them excellent customer service.
