Harbor Rich Tobacco TV Lift

The growth of the market for flat-panel TVs in the last several years is a testament to the fact that many people want to enjoy the benefits of having a large TV, but would prefer not to use the limited space available. In many cases, people will spend the extra cost to get a more compact TV just to maximize the space in their den or living room. Having a large TV, flat panel or otherwise, is a space commitment that is well worth it when watching the Big Game, but the rest of the time, the living room can be cramped.

TV cabinets used to be designed around this problem, especially the fact that most viewers don't want to have to look at an unsightly box whenever they are not actively watching television. Old TV cabinets were designed to hide the TV as well as to fit in with the décor of the room, and modern cabinets should do the same. Now that full-depth TVs are the exception rather than the rule, TV lift cabinets make much more sense than traditional TV cabinets.

We believe that part of the appeal of owning a motorized TV lift or a TV cabinet is to incorporate it into the design of your living or work space with minimal impact on the design of the room. Our cabinets and mechanisms are designed for utility, but not at the cost of visual appeal. In keeping with this goal, we offer several different lines of cabinets, divided into modern and traditional styling. In addition, our cabinets are available in different stains and finishes to fit just about any situation. For the rare case that the customer is looking for something special or particular, TV Lift Cabinets offers custom construction and design help. We can build a completely custom cabinet from scratch (starting at $3999.00), make custom-sizes for our stock cabinets, or simply add a custom finish to one of our production cabinets, starting at $299.00.

In our experience, a classically-styled cabinet with a lift-mechanism can really stand out in a room.

Plasma TV Lift for Your Room

Once relegated to the living room or family room, it is almost unheard of to see someone who doesn’t also have a TV in the bedroom. Watching Netflix before bed or leaving Pandora playing in the background while one sleeps is becoming increasingly common. However, adding the space commitment of a TV to the average bedroom doesn’t mean that the bedrooms have become any larger or more spacious. In many cases, the amount of space needed to keep a TV within viewing distance will mean giving up dresser-top space or constraining other space necessities in the bedroom. 

TV Lift Cabinets recommends a foot-of-the-bed lift to increase this space. Several of our foot-of-the-bed lifts and TV lift cabinets are designed with simple, elegant décor in mind and are ideal for maximizing space and reducing clutter. We offer hundreds of designs that feature clean lines and natural accents to blend into the rest of the room and not distract your eye when the TV is not actually in

In many cases, a TV lift cabinet is a matter of aesthetic: if a room has a carefully-selected décor and style, a pop-up TV lift is great to maintain this look. Many people see these cabinets as primarily a style piece, but they are also quite functional.

In addition to the fact that automatically hiding and revealing a TV is a great way to maintain an aesthetic, our cabinets are designed to be functional. With wire management and built-in IR relay systems in many of our models, functionality is a primary goal. Additionally, we offer 360-degree swivel lifts that can adjust to be viewed from any angle with a simple remote control. Several cabinets, including the Crystal Pointe 360 TV lift cabinet have been extremely popular with consumers that need to adjust the angle of their television as well as hiding it away when not in use. Because of the success of our initial swivel cabinets, TV Lift Cabinets has begun introducing new cabinets with a full-swivel option in varying styles and configurations.

Typically, when it comes to furnishing your home and designing a home theater setup, functionality comes first, and then, if the budget allows, design and style comes second. Oftentimes, this will result in a very functional but bland looking entertainment setup. Why would you want to spend a huge chunk of your time sitting in a room that is purely utilitarian?

Many people see a TV lift or TV cabinet as a luxury for the rich. In actuality, a TV lift or TV lift cabinet can be added to your living space at a relatively low cost. Rather than spending your design budget on something purely decorative, you should try and combine  functionality and design to conserve funds. When not in use, a TV lift cabinet still adds flavor to a room and can act as a temporary shelf. The living room or den can quickly convert from being focused around a television (like most living rooms), into being laid out for entertaining. It is amazing what hiding a TV can do for the ambiance of the room during a party

Mounting your flat-panel TV on a TV lift or stationary wall mount is a great way to improve the viewing angle for the entire room, as well as keeping your expensive electronics out of the way of kids or pets. Mounting a TV or TV lift is a relatively simple process. In addition to your home, mounting a TV in your office can really add a new layer to employee meetings and breaks.

Typically, a mounting kit will come with two mounting arms and a wide bracket plate. The bracket attaches to the wall and the mounting arms attach to the bracket, securing the TV. Once the TV has been secured to the wall, the chances of an accident or mishap are greatly reduced. We recommend a motorized TV lift to adjust the angle of the screen during use and to keep the television out of the way when not in use. Our lift mechanisms are 100% UL recognized and adhere to all of the corresponding safety standards. Once mounted, the lift will keep the television safe and in a convenient position.
