  8. Silence is Bliss in TV Lifts

    Uplift Mechanism

    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.

  9. How a TV Lift Protects Your TV and Media Players

    In today’s economy, everyone is looking to protect what they already own, and a TV, DVD player, stereo system and gaming console are investments that are 1) expensive and 2) need to be protected from damage. Thankfully, keeping them tucked away and yet always accessible in a TV lift cabinet is the wisest one-stop solution.

    Instead of keeping your TV resting on a low coffee table or behind breakable glass doors, a pop-up TV cabinet quietly lowers it into a hand-crafted and solid hardwood cabinet. The TV is secured to the TV lift mechanism, so there are no fears of accidental tipping.

    And when you store your media players in a traditional entertainment center in plain sight, which is where they would normally need to be in order for your remote control to work properly, they are at risk for dust damage and small fingers inserting objects for which they are not meant. These expensive media players are also susceptible to spilled drinks. However, in a TV lift cabinet these media players are

  10. The Advantages of Owning a Pop-Up TV Lift Cabinet

    A pop-up TV lift cabinet provides its owner many fine advantages. Many of them have been noted in all the positive reviews ImportAdvantage receives for its TV lift cabinets, but here is a list of why you should own a pop-up TV cabinet.

    A TV lift cabinet can save you much-needed space in any room. Much less bulky than a clunky entertainment center, a pop-up TV cabinet can easily store your TV, media players and all the media you watch or play. And when not in use, each of your electronics is stored behind hand-crafted hardwoods.

    It keeps your devices safe. Do you have dogs that like to chew or kids that like to draw? Keeping your TV and DVD player out of sight when not in use makes it virtually inaccessible for those curious kids or dogs running around the room. Media players remain behind closed doors, but are still ready for use 24/7 thanks to the Infrared Relay System, standard on every model.

    Another advantage that comes from an ImportAdvantage TV lift cabinet is that your TV is always
