TV Lifts

The biggest game of the year is right around the corner. Super Bowl XLVI will go down this Sunday in Indianapolis in a contest between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. So fire up the grill, grab a cold one and gather around the TV lift cabinet. Here is a round-up of Super Bowl predictions going into the weekend of the big game.

The Giants last won the Super Bowl in 2007 in a heated battle against their current foe, the Patriots. In the third biggest upset in betting line history, the score was 17-14. This time, who do the Giants have on their side? ESPN.com, CBSSports.com and FoxSports.com to name a few. Going into the game, the Giants appear to be heavily favored.

On the other hand, New England had a better record this season and they are perennial contenders. Not to mention, vindication for Super Bowl ’07 is on the line. Will the Patriots get revenge on Sunday? According to Boston.com, the Miami Herald, San Jose Daily News and Boston Globe seem to think so.

Tune in to NBC at 6:30pm on Sunday to check out all the action of the game as well as the much anticipated Half Time Show featuring Madonna.

Hi everyone!  Recently we have received quite a few inquiries from our friendly neighbors up north asking us the following questions:

1.)    Do you ship to Canada?

2.)    If so, what is the cost of shipping?

3.)    Are duty and brokerage fees included?

4.)    How long does it take to deliver my TV lift cabinet?

I must confess, while the information can be located on our site, it is not the easiest to find.  I have decided to share our Canadian Shipping Policy with you all here.

Yes, we do ship to Canada.  However, shipping is not free.  If you live within 50 miles of these cities listed below you will be charged $499 extra during check out for TV lift cabinets and $250 for the lift machines.

Within 50 miles of these cities:

• Calgary
• Vancouver
• Toronto
• Ottawa
• Montreal
• Edmonton

Additional charges will be applied if you live beyond 50 miles of these major cities. GST, duty and brokerage fees are all included in your purchase price for all orders shipped to Canada. All paperwork is handled by ImportAdvantage, and the GST will be remitted on your behalf to the Canadian government.  The average Canadian delivery time takes between 10-14 business days.  The increase in transit time is due to customs clearance and the additional distance for our warehouse to your home.

We hope this helps answer your questions.  If you need further assistance, please call or email us.  We are happy to assist.

Have you ever been in a train station minding your own business when out of nowhere music starts playing?  A few people begin to dance.  Suddenly, hundreds of people start breaking out into choreographed dance.  Then just as quickly the song ends and everyone scatters as if nothing has happened.  Well, if this has happened to you, you have been officially mobbed.  For the folks who have not had the pleasure of seeing this live, raise your TV lift cabinet, turn on the TV and change the channel to the Fox network.

The Fox network just aired last Thursday, its special episode hosted by Howie Mandel called “Mobbed” featuring a surprise engagement.  In the episode, a man proposes to his girlfriend with the help of a flash mob.  According to the Los Angeles Times, the special drew in 10.8 million viewers.  The special performed so well that Fox decided to order 8 more episodes of Mobbed.

Check out our Willowcraft TV lift cabinet!  The Willowcraft TV lift cabinet is made of a rich blend of alder and cherry hardwoods.

While many design trends come and go, one constant has been the popularity of Asian inspired design. Identifiable by its clean lines and natural elements, Asian influences not only create a stylish room but also inspire relaxation and a feeling of zen. Fortunately, TV lift cabinets can fit perfectly into Asian décor when you pick the right design. The Tao TV lift cabinet and the Hideaway TV lift cabinet are both available in a formal black finish or a more natural brown finish. Here are some tips to achieve the Asian inspired look you’ve been imagining:

• Minimalism is key – try neutral colors on the walls and bold colors on fabrics and other accent pieces
• Keep the lighting subdued and diffused. Rice paper lamps and Chinese paper lanterns are great for this effect
• Bring nature inside – rock gardens, bamboo and bonsai trees, tabletop fountains, cherry blossoms or orchids work great
• Clean lines and furniture low to the ground keep with the Asian theme and minimalist approach. Also, avoid clutter! Try using Japanese screens to hide areas that may not be completely organized
• Bronze statues and fixtures are a staple of Asian décor. Try incorporating our Tao TV lift cabinet or Hideaway TV lift cabinet! The bronze fixtures are a perfect fit!

Every Friday, we will ask you a question about one of our staff.  If you get the question correct, you will receive 10% OFF your next TV Lift cabinet purchase!  If you get the answer wrong, don’t worry.  Simply play again next week.

Recently, 3D technology has exploded on the big screen. It was only a matter of time until TV followed suit. The advances being made in 3D imagery are ever-evolving.  However the idea of watching programs on a 3D TV mounted in a TV lift cabinet may not appeal to everyone.

Reports from the Consumer Electronics Show highlight different forms of 3D entertainment that are in the early stages of development. Some systems require the consumer to sport 3D glasses similar to what you would wear to view a 3D Movie. Sometimes the glasses are more advanced and take on an appearance similar to a virtual reality head set.  The most intriguing technology in my opinion was a Sony television that alternated images hundreds of times per second to send different pictures to each eye – no glasses required! Imagine that in your TV lift cabinet! How far away this technology is from being commonplace is debatable. The introduction of new technology is further complicated by studies showing that consumers are holding on to their possessions (Flat panel TVs included) for longer than ever before.  The after effects of the recession combined with the trend of “going green” and producing less waste have made consumers more inclined than ever to make their possessions last.

What are your thoughts on the new wave of 3D TV technology? Will you follow the tech trend or stick with your tried and true flat panel until an upgrade is absolutely necessary?
