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.

ImportAdvantage specializes in top-quality TV lifts and pop-up TV cabinets. It is an industry we have led since 2003, culminating from over 25 years experience building and designing custom furniture, and we have a lot of confidence in our products. So when we see other products on the market that are meant to move or hide your TV, we like to illustrate what makes our TV lifts the best in design and functionality.

First, these types of flip-down TV lifts are typically limited to handling small TVs. Some can hold larger TVs (up to 200 lbs.), but only if your ceiling is capable of securing that much weight. And installing a flip-down TV lift is committing your TV to only one spot in the house, viewable from only one angle. What if you put one in your bedroom and a few months

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.
