  3. A Tight Squeeze? How You Can Fit Your Media Players in a TV Lift Cabinet

    While we make every effort to build TV lift cabinets that can accommodate a wide variety of media players and wiring, a few combinations of DVD players and surround sound systems may be a tight squeeze in a TV lift cabinet, but don’t worry, we have easy solutions for you.

    First, double-check the measurements listed for the TV lift cabinet you are planning to purchase. You can do this easily with our Measurement Guide. For cabinet depth, most of our models have 16” shelves, and for some that might not provide enough clearance in the back, so here’s what you can do to make your media players fit.

    If your cables protrude too much from the back of your media player, we recommend purchasing 90-degree angle connectors for all your cables which will shorten them greatly. These connectors can be found at most electronics stores.

    But if this still doesn’t allow you enough room in your TV lift cabinet, you can clear up more space by making a simple cut. The partition walls in our TV lift cabinets

  9. Breaking News: Consumer Product Safety Commission Urges Securing TVs

    The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) just announced a reminder to all parents that they take extra precautions in their homes to inspect and secure TVs, furniture and appliances. The CPSC estimates that, on average, one child dies every two weeks due to tip-overs.

    Between 2000 and 2008, the CPSC received reports that nearly 200 children eight years old and younger died from tip-overs, and 93 percent of those 200 children were five years old and younger.

    Astoundingly, 16,000 children five years old and younger were treated between 2000 and 2008 in emergency rooms due to injuries sustained by TV, furniture and appliance tip-overs.

    Thankfully, ImportAdvantage’s TV lift cabinets offer the safety and security to prevent accidental tip-overs by keeping TVs and media players tucked away in handcrafted cabinets. The stable, quiet TV lift mechanisms ImportAdvantage uses in its pop-up TV cabinets can hold up to 150-pound flat-screen TVs while also keeping them secured at the base, preventing
