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.

Is there another cabinet of ours that you would like to see available with a swivel option? Let us know in the comments!

Over the past several months, we have been getting a ton of calls from customers looking for a TV lift solution that would allow them to rotate their TV so they can watch it from anywhere in the room. Previously, we would recommend our cabinets on casters like Carousel or Traveler. Then about a year ago, we introduced our Crystal Pointe 360 Swivel cabinet which has quickly become one of our best sellers. Finally, we are very excited to announce that our Uplift 3250 Residential Swivel Lift, Uplift 3500 Residential Swivel Lift and Uplift 3700 Residential Swivel Lift are available for purchase on www.TVLiftCabinet.com! Our swivel lift mechanism is easy to install and gives you 360 degrees of rotation to watch your TV from any angle! Controlled via remote, the lift has an innovative design that features two on-board HDMI ports, 2 on-board HDMI cables and an outlet for your TV so you don’t need to worry about routing your cables as it’s already done for you! The lift is near silent while operating and it includes a safety feature that will stop the lift from moving if it meets resistance as it rotates.

Another request that we were beginning to hear more and more frequently was when will we have a cabinet that can house a 70” TV? Last Spring, we introduced Pacifica which is essentially a larger version of our most popular cabinet, Banyan Creek. Recently, we have added a Modern design for those who are looking for a more contemporary option to house their 70” TV. The new cabinet is called Concord XL and you can check out the specs here. Concord XL is a larger version of Concord, our best selling American made cabinet, factory-direct from our Amish craftsmen. Have a TV larger than 70” but can’t seem to find a TV lift cabinet? Check back next week when we feature an amazing custom cabinet we built for a customer’s 80” TV!

In my opinion, living in Florida is great. Warm weather, (almost) always sunny and the beach is never too far away. That said, I was born and raised in Canada. So while I despise most things winter, fall is such a cozy and colorful time of year that it makes me nostalgic for my time up north. When the leaves change color, the air is crisp but not frigid and the smell of wood-burning fireplaces is in the air – I love it! While we don’t have wood-burning fireplace TV lift cabinets (that might not work out so well…), we do have a large selection of electric fireplace TV lift cabinets that are especially popular this time of year.

For those more into a modern design, we have three different fireplace TV lift cabinets for you to choose from:  Soho Espresso, Soho Caramel and Loft. Soho features two drawers at the base of the cabinet where you can store your electronic components. Although your components are stored in the drawers, you can still control them via the built in IR system. Loft has a cubby cutout along the top of the cabinet where you can store your components with additional storage on each side of the fireplace.

For those with more traditional taste, we have Remington Brown, Remington White and Huntington. Like their modern counterparts, Remington has two drawers at the base for components while Huntington has a cubby along the top.

All our electric fireplace TV lift cabinets allow you to control the temperature and the flame. A built-in partition wall separates your TV from the fireplace so your TV and electronics are 100% protected. Order your electric fireplace TV lift cabinet today so you can be sure you to have it in time for the holidays to wow your family and friends!

We have really been churning out the new TV lift cabinets over the last few weeks! Here are two more new additions: Huntington and Loft. Both cabinets are expertly crafted from solid maple wood and have a built-in electric fireplace with adjustable temperature and flame. Amish made here in the USA, the cabinets have plenty of storage between shelves on either side of the fireplace and a cubby on top for your electronics. Huntington is more traditional with a warm brown finish and ornate hardware:

Loft has a modern feel thanks to its rich espresso finish, glass paneled doors and sleek brushed nickel hardware.

Check out both cabinets today by clicking on the cabinet name above!

All I’ve been hearing about lately is how fall sports are really kicking into high gear over the next few weeks. College football is back tonight, NFL starts in a couple weeks, and NHL hockey will be close behind. Now that our main TV will be dominated by games every weekend until February, I’m starting to entertain the idea of a mancave (don’t tell my husband…). Mancaves seem to be everywhere these days. TV shows dedicated to them, men raving about them. My whole issue with a mancave was that it would look too out of place in my home. My entire decor has a certain flow and everything seems to fit. Well, where does a mancave fall into place? I don’t want a random room with sports memorabilia and movie posters hanging on the wall. People will think I have a reclusive teenage son that I never talk about. So I got to thinking, is there a way to make a mancave, dare I say, fashionable? All I want would be a few decorative elements that would appease me but would go unnoticed to the average man catching the game in the mancave. Maybe with a little decorative flair, one could overlook the NY Yankees banner that would be sure to adorn an entire wall.

Chic but manly enough for the mancave!

I figure if we were to go with this whole mancave idea, I could leave the ‘accessorizing’ up to my husband and I could pick out the big ticket items (see last week’s blog about my online shopping habit..). Maybe I’m biased but a TV lift cabinet is the perfect happy medium. TV lift cabinets have the wow factor and technology to be accepted into the mancave but also don’t look out of place in a finely decorated home. Plus when it’s not game time, you can lower your TV into the cabinet and not have it be the center of attention. Do you have a mancave in your home? What is the centerpiece of your mancave?

Bigger is better, right?  Sharp Corporation seems to think so.  Sharp introduced today its latest product, the world’s largest LED TV. The 90″ LED TV dimensions are 48”H x 96” W x 5” D.  That is four feet tall averaging higher than most children.  Quite impressive!  This TV features a 1080p resolution, is 3-D ready, and has SmartCentral Service for Netflix, YouTube and Hulu Plus apps.  Two pairs of 3-D glasses also come with TV for you and a guest to enjoy 3-D movies.

This TV while impressive does come with a hefty price tag.  The TV is being retailed at $10,999.99.  Yes, it is definitely a luxury product. The TV also is difficult to conceal.  This TV will not fit into a standard TV lift cabinet. If you wish to only see the television when watching shows and then hide once not in use, then this TV may not work for your needs .  Of course, if you can afford to buy one of these TVs, then one would reason that you can also afford to build a extremely large custom cabinet.  So is bigger better?  If you have the money, yes, it most certainly is.

Verizon and AT&T are rethinking how they package their unlimited data plans.  Everyday more and more Americans are using data to stream content to their TV lift cabinets, laptops, and smart phones.  With more data usage being consumed, AT&T and Verizon have decided to do away with their unlimited data plans.

Verizon announced this week that they are moving their unlimited data customers to capped data plans.  They did not mention the capped usage amount and pricing for capped plans.  AT&T has decided to be slightly more generous.  They will allow folks who already have unlimited data plans to be grandfathered in, but all new subscribers will have capped plans.  The AT&T unlimited data plan customers that use a large amount of data will however, see their data being cut off or “throttled”.

Sprint is the only large wireless carrier that will still offer an unlimited plan.  Sprint has been struggling in the last few years with poor network coverage resulting in losing customers over to AT&T and Verizon.  If Sprint keeps unlimited plan and continues to improve network coverage, they may be able to steal customers back from AT&T and Verizon.

If you are looking for a great gaming console to store within your TV lift cabinet, you may be interested to know that Microsoft is now offering the Xbox for only $99 plus a subscription fee.   Currently, Xbox and other gaming consoles cost around $299.  This is a hefty price tag for consumers to pay out.  Many are not able to pay this upfront cost.  To get around this hurdle, Microsoft is now offering this affordable subscription plan.

Consumers will have to pay a $99 initial fee to get Xbox 360 and then commit to a two year contract.  The subscription fee per month is $15.  The $99 price tag is a much more manageable number for consumers to handle than $299.  Microsoft is hoping this pricing strategy will lure in more customers and increase their Xbox sales.

Now for those who enjoy crunching numbers, you may have already figured out that the cost of owning an Xbox will amount to $459 with this new pricing strategy whereas it is only $299 without subscription.  However, for consumers who can only afford to pay in small increments towards ownership of an Xbox, this is a reasonable solution.   If you can afford to pay the upfront cost of $299 without subscription, then avoid the subscription plan.

Jawbone experienced great success with their original Jambox speaker.  Due to this success, the company decided to make modifications to its Jambox Bluetooth speaker to introduce the Big Jambox.  The Big Jambox is larger than its predecessor, measuring at 10” W x 3.5” H x 3.1” D.  While not small enough to fit within a coat pocket, it can fit comfortably inside TV lift cabinets or in cars.

The Big Jambox produces amazing sound quality.  As Jawbone’s VP, Travis Bogard stated “Sometimes, there are situations where you want more sound”.  That is exactly what the Big Jambox delivers.

The Big Jambox has six command buttons compared to the original Jambox’s three.  The command buttons are the talk/Jambox button, play/pause, previous and next, and the up and down volume buttons.  The Big Jambox also has a Bluetooth pairing button, a 3.5mm stereo auxiliary input jack, a Micro USB port, and a power adapter jack.  The Bluetooth button can be connected with Apple products (iPhone, iPad, and Mac computer).  When the Big Jambox is paired with phone, all the user has to do is press the Talk button to activate voice speaker.

The Big Jambox is being offered in black, white, and red.  The retail price is set at $299.
