Just like any retailer, we tend to get mail every now and again from customers wanting to let us know how we’re doing and what they think of our product. However, when we came across this letter a couple days ago it definitely stood out as one of the strangest endorsements we’ve ever received.

Dear Import Advantage,

I’m writing to let you know that the TV stand I recently purchased is single handedly responsible for saving my marriage. How, you may ask (or possibly not). Well I’m going to tell you.

Like most red blooded American’s, I love me some good TV. Usually it’s sports, but in all honesty, I’m really not that picky. If there’s nothing else on, I’m certainly not above slumming it with The Girls Next Door or a VH1 Behind the Music special (Did you know Bobby Brown was voted out of New Edition???). So, after months of squabbling with my wife about the fact that it was time to finally upgrade our painfully obsolete 36 inch Sony Wega, I decided to just go off the grid and take matters

So you've just purchased the flat screen TV you've been dreaming about the last couple of months.  With all the in-store specials running on the latest and greatest new TV models, a new TV was sure to make it to the top of your holiday wish list this season.  You now have yourself a beautiful new flat screen TV that you want to show off as your guests visit during the holidays but is your existing TV cabinet lacking style and functionality?

Now is the time to consider our gorgeous black finish Moderna TV lift cabinet.  At Only $1,099, you can't miss out on saving 73% off its original price of $3,999.  This cabinet can be positioned in the living room or bedroom and features bottom storage placement for your electronics and has a built-in infrared relayed system so you can operate the remote behind the cabinet's closed doors.

Not only impress your friends and family with your new flat screen TV, but also impress them with the style and functionality of this Moderna TV lift cabinet

We love our TVs. We have loved them since they were first introduced in the 1950’s when the only available picture option was black-and-white.

Things have changed a great deal since the early days of TV…but not our love for it! Entire rooms are now built around the TV-viewing experience. Many people have moved away from the traditional TV console and entertainment center; just as TV design has become increasingly streamlined, so has the furniture that houses our televisions.

Sleek TV stands are now manufactured in various sizes and shapes, offering everything from adjustable shelves to removable back panels for accessing the TV’s rear wiring unit.

Another option, offering greater space efficiency and safety than a TV stand, is a mounted TV. TV mounts are ideal for active families, because the TV itself remains “out of reach” for the toddlers and 4-legged family members, which means there is little chance of the TV – or your loved ones, being hurt. In 2006, 10 children died as a result of

We all know that your TV is a major focus of your living room, but have you thought about how what your TV is housed in can impact the overall look and feel of your space? While it may not be the first thing on your mind while you're trying to catch your favorite show, the look of your TV cabinet helps to set the tone for the rest of the room, so it's important to make sure that you're choosing a TV cabinet that can work for your sense of style – and for the sense you want to create in your home.

For those who want an air of class and elegance in their space, a mahogany TV cabinet is usually best. This rich, dark wood with honeyed tones goes well with many home décor choices and helps to add warmth to any space without taking away from an air of sophistication.

Want something a bit more rustic? Then oak is the perfect fit. This durable hard wood will last and last, as long as you take care of it. Plus, depending on the finish you choose, you can feel free to go feminine or masculine with
