ImportAdvantage’s signature TV lift, known as the Uplift, raises TVs to full-extension at the rate of nearly 1”/second, making it faster than many of its competitors. And those with faster rising rates risk jarring your flat-screen TV and are typically louder than the ImportAdvantage Uplift mechanism.

So ImportAdvantage not only provides a quality, durable rack and pinion TV lift, but they have struck the fine balance of speed, whisper-quiet operation and unbeatable low prices in their products. And they have made this quality lift easy to install – taking less than five minutes from start to finish.

The Uplift TV lift has another key feature that sets it apart from its competitors – its ability to accept a range of TV sizes. Most other TV lifts are restricted to hold a TV within a 10” span, so if you decide you want to upgrade your TV after already investing in a TV lift, you are faced with purchasing a new lift mechanism for your TV. With the Uplift, most of the larger units can hold

ImportAdvantage receives numerous positive comments about its products every day. However, there is a saying that goes “a picture is worth a thousand words,” so we are asking our customers to share with us pictures of their TV lifts in action. Whether you have come up with a unique use for our TV lift mechanism, the Uplift, or you have purchased one of our fine handcrafted TV lift cabinets, we want to see how it looks in your home.

We have created some of the industry’s finest TV lift cabinets, and with our factory-direct pricing and outstanding customer service we have been satisfying customers since 2003. And while we appreciate all the positive reviews our customers leave for our products, there is just nothing like a photo of one of our TV lifts at its final destination – your home’s living room, at the foot of your bed, in your office, or perhaps some other creative place you’ve discovered.

Perhaps you have taken some snapshots of the day you received your TV lift cabinet through

One of the most popular and unique pieces of classic English and American furniture must be the antique chest, and it is from this piece of décor that the Hideaway TV Lift with Bookcases was born. Available in brown or black, this old-meets-new design is expertly crafted from kiln-dried hardwoods and veneers, and features rich, hand-applied stains and paints.

Roomy enough to house a TV measuring up to 46” wide and nearly 29” tall, along with two additional pieces of electronics (media players) with depths of 13 ¼” or less, the Hideaway TV Lift with Bookcases is your answer to maximizing your space. It can be used as a centerpiece in your living room, in a master bedroom or against any wall in your home.

The addition of two bookcases to this TV lift provides more than ample storage for nearly anything you can think of, as each bookcase features two individually adjustable shelves and measures over 22” wide, 17” deep and 32” high.

This TV lift cabinet comes with its own surge-protected onboard

Whether you are a devotee of Feng Shui or just need to get your house in order. One of the top tips professional organizers and “de-clutterers” often give their clients is to invest in a TV lift cabinet for storing their flat-screen TVs. And ImportAdvantage couldn’t agree more! With 40 different styles to choose from, including eight unique foot of the bed pop-up TV cabinets, we are confident you will find one to please your professional organizer and suit your home.

What professional organizers seem to like most about TV lift cabinets is their ability to give a room a larger “feel,” while also having space to store things like photos, media and books. TVs, especially large flat-screen TVs, can sometimes be distracting when sitting out on an empty-looking TV stand surrounded by little black boxes (media players) and enveloped in a clump of electrical cords. With a custom hardwood TV lift cabinet, your room retains its elegance without sacrificing technology.

The principles of de-cluttering

Would you like to add a touch of technology to your kid’s stuffed animal-filled, puzzle-piled playroom? One of the most unique and useful touches you can add is a TV lift. Whether you buy a complete, handcrafted TV lift cabinet from ImportAdvantage or just the Uplift mechanism for building your own cabinet, your kids will be amazed when they see a flat screen TV magically and quietly rise out of nowhere.

While some may question whether putting a TV in the playroom will actually encourage more TV-watching, it’s actually easier to control how much TV your kids watch because you can control when the TV is accessible and when it isn’t. If your kids can’t see a TV, they may be less likely to ask to watch it.

And when it comes to safety, a TV lift cabinet can’t be beat. A TV kept in a pop-up TV cabinet is attached securely to the Uplift mechanism, making it virtually impossible for a child to tip over the television. And with the selection of hardwoods ImportAdvantage uses to construct its TV

People like to save money when they shop, and who shouldn’t? But it’s important that these cost-cutting deal-seekers don’t sacrifice important qualities, especially with TV lift cabinets, and end up costing themselves a bundle by buying a bad product.

Thankfully, ImportAdvantage helps people save money by shopping direct from the factory and gives their customers the best pop-up TV cabinets in the industry. It’s a win-win for everyone!

As you begin shopping for your TV lift cabinet, there are some common mistakes people make to cut corners and try to save themselves some cash. Protect yourself and watch out for the following pitfalls.

Don’t buy a noisy TV lift. Some other manufacturers may make claims that their lift mechanism is silent, but our heavy duty lift mechanism is perfectly calibrated so it raises and lowers your flat-screen in ultra-silence.

Don’t try to save too much or you might end up with a Chinese import pop-up cabinet with a poor warranty. Look for one that is crafted

One of the signature marks of an ImportAdvantage TV lift cabinet, along with its fine craftsmanship, is the durability and silence of its heavy duty lift mechanism. Impossible to find at the same quality for less money, an ImportAdvantage lift mechanism is the standard in the industry, and it’s very quiet.

Widely used by designers, architects and furniture manufacturers, the “uplift” model is built with a heavy duty rack and pinion system, which has proven the efficiency of its design over many years. It is ultra-silent thanks to its perfectly calibrated gears and slides, and it features an incredibly powerful motor capable of lifting a TV weighing up to 150 pounds.

The Uplift comes in several sizes and models, including the Uplift 3250, 3500, 3700 and Uplift 3875. Each is powered by 110 volts and includes a radio frequency remote control. The Uplift TV lift mechanism has many built-in safety features and can fit universally to most flat screen televisions.

You will find a quiet Uplift

So you cannot figure out what to buy for Mom? Try a TV Lift. HGTV completed a study whose findings found that 65% of consumers want to hide their TV in the living room and 70% in the bedroom.

The majority of consumers today are looking to hide the TV in some fashion. Pop Up TV Lifts are the perfect gift for Mom and Dad. Mom gets her well organized and decorated room while Dad gets his big flat screen TV.

And the whole family gets a lot of WOW from friends and family!

Now that you’ve found your perfect television, where are you going to put it? Do you want to store it for safe-keeping when not in use? Then consider a TV lift. TV lift mechanisms can best be described as “now you see it…now you don’t” technology. Your television appears when you are ready to watch it, and disappears, safely, when you are done. Not only is this a space-saving option for your home or office, but it also allows the focal point of the room to be something besides the large-screen TV!

Furthermore, TV lifts add an element of safety to any room because, when not in use, the TV is out of sight – and reach – preventing damage to the TV AND anyone who accidentally bumps it, which could result in TV toppling and injury.

When researching TV lifts, the following should be considered:

1. Structural Integrity: How is the TV lift manufactured? Are the parts plastic, synthetic or steel? After all, your television is an investment. You don’t want it to rest on parts that can wear and break

Every day, approximately 40 young children are taken to hospital emergency rooms with injuries suffered as a result of a heavy piece of furniture falling on them? Furthermore, TV sets were the most common item associated with tip-over injuries to children.

Dr. Gary Smith, head of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at the Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, used data from the Consumer Product Safety Commission to analyze injuries to children in the U.S. between 1990 and 2007. During that time, an estimated 264,200 furniture tip-over related-injuries occurred, which required trips to emergency rooms. According to the study, published in Clinical Pediatrics, three-quarters of the injuries were to children 6-years-old and younger, with 1- to 3-year-olds being the most vulnerable.

A TV tip-over typically occurs when a child attempts to climb onto furniture (or into a drawer of a dresser on which a TV sits), causing the furniture and/or TV to fall onto the child. The child may also
