The Wynterhall TV Lift Cabinet by ImportAdvantage is the first of its kind for flexibility and personal configuration. Ideal for foot of the bed placement, against a bedroom wall or in a small room, the Wynterhall TV Lift Cabinet is built with an influence from tradition.

Featuring classical columns, brass hardware fittings and built on a shaped plinth base, the Wynterhall TV Lift Cabinet can be rotated so the TV is on the same side or opposite side of the cabinet drawers. With the touch of a button, the integrated TV lift quietly raises or lowers your TV, and two spacious drawers will hold your audio-visual equipment.

The Wynterhall TV Lift Cabinet is built with fine solid Birch and Birch veneers, and it is expertly finished in a lightly distressed dark tobacco. The TV lift cabinet can hold a TV up to 47” wide, 5 ½” deep and 28” in height.

Photos and a video of the Wynterhall TV Lift Cabinet can be found on the product information page. Take a moment to check it out, or view any of the

According to a report by Bloomberg Businessweek, 71 percent of shoppers say they rely on other shoppers’ reviews to help them decide whether or not to buy a product. 83 percent of shoppers feel more confident about their purchase decision if they do their own research online versus consulting an in-store salesperson, and 79 percent of shoppers believe they save more time by researching online rather than getting their information at a store.

ImportAdvantage has made it easy for any shopper to shop for a TV lift cabinet online because they publish reviews for all their products, as well as provide in-depth specifications and uses for all their pop-up TV cabinets.

The power of a customer’s first-hand review of how our product actually lives up to its promise is valued at ImportAdvantage, and we encourage our customers to leave an honest review of the product they purchased and have tried out in their home. Whether it’s a TV lift cabinet, a foot of the bed pop-up TV cabinet or just the TV

Are you considering shopping for a new TV and want one that will surely fit in an ImportAdvantage TV lift cabinet? Or perhaps you already own a Plasma or LCD TV and you are curious which of the pop-up TV cabinets will work with your unit. ImportAdvantage has made the selection process easy by creating a printable Measurement Guide (PDF) that features the minimum and maximum measurement requirements for all their TV lift cabinets.

To use the Measurement Guide, you will need to take three separate measurements of your TV: width, depth and height. First, measure the width of your television with a tape measure.

Measure in a horizontal direction (not diagonal), and be sure to include the TV frame. Write this number down on the printable Measurement Guide.

Next measure the depth of your TV. With the tape measure, measure the thickest part of your TV from the front to the back. Do not include in your measurement any part of a TV stand that came with your unit. Write this number down on the

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,

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

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
