  1. Remington Electric Fireplace

    Remington Electric Fireplace

    One of ImportAdvantage’s true “conversation pieces” is the Remington Electric Fireplace and TV lift cabinet. This handcrafted pop-up TV cabinet is also a 33” electric fireplace with a built-in heater and dimmer switch. The fireplace can be controlled by the included remote control, so adjusting the heat output and flames are no problem with this elegant centerpiece.

    Many customers have shared how their Remington Electric Fireplace has sparked countless conversations, and their friends simply cannot believe how ImportAdvantage married a fireplace with a fully-functioning TV lift cabinet, crafted with Birch and mahogany veneer.

    The secret of the Remington Electric Fireplace lies in the strength of the built-in firebox and a special partition between the firebox and TV, which protects the TV and other media players from the heat output of the fireplace. The amount of storage space in the Remington Electric Fireplace is impressive. The unit contains two bottom drawers for audio-visual equipment,

  3. The Feng Shui of the TV Set

    If you are a follower of the philosophy of Feng Shui, which says that everything in your home, or office or personal living space has either a positive or negative impact, you may be pleased to learn how a TV lift cabinet will give your home a more positive feel.

    So where does your TV fit into the practice of Feng Shui? Although the TV itself can be a quality source of educational information or a way to watch action-packed dramas, a TV that can be quietly stored out of sight in a pop-up TV lift cabinet can certainly improve the positive impact of Feng Shui in your home.

    Some firm believers of Feng Shui suggest that no one ever place a TV in their bedroom, but what if that TV is tucked neatly into a foot of the bed TV lift cabinet? Most Feng Shui experts agree that putting a TV in a closed cabinet before falling asleep will minimize the negative impact of a TV in the bedroom.

    Feng Shui also suggests that no one watch TV while eating dinner. While this seems like sound advice, it’s possible

  5. TV Watching: Just Fine in Moderation

    Technorati: 5ZG58F3JGMST

    There are many statistics out there trying to find fault with TV viewing, especially for young children, but according to KidsHealth.org, owned by Nemours, TV-watching in moderation can actually be a good thing.

    The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that no kids under the age of 2 should be watching any TV and kids older than 2 should limit their TV-watching to one or two hours a day of quality programming.

    As the first two years of a child’s life is considered a very critical time for learning, the emphasis on TV-watching at this stage is certainly on the educational value of the programming, not the entertainment value. However, children’s advocates have long been divided when it comes to finding the right solution for how much TV a child should watch as they continue to develop. It’s always best to leave the decision up to the child’s parents.

    Whether for fun or for learning, watching a TV housed on a TV lift cabinet by ImportAdvantage will be an

  10. The Versatility of a Foot of the Bed TV Lift Cabinet

    Thinking about a new TV lift cabinet but not quite sure where you want to put it in your home? A foot of the bed pop-up TV cabinet may be the answer to your dilemma. Just because it’s called a foot of the bed TV lift cabinet doesn’t mean it can only go in your bedroom.
