  2. Keep Your Family Safe from TV Tip

    Every day, approximately 40 young children are taken to hospital emergency rooms with injuries suffered as a result of a heavy piece of furniture falling on them? Furthermore, TV sets were the most common item associated with tip-over injuries to children.

    Dr. Gary Smith, head of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at the Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, used data from the Consumer Product Safety Commission to analyze injuries to children in the U.S. between 1990 and 2007. During that time, an estimated 264,200 furniture tip-over related-injuries occurred, which required trips to emergency rooms. According to the study, published in Clinical Pediatrics, three-quarters of the injuries were to children 6-years-old and younger, with 1- to 3-year-olds being the most vulnerable.

    A TV tip-over typically occurs when a child attempts to climb onto furniture (or into a drawer of a dresser on which a TV sits), causing the furniture and/or TV to fall onto the child. The child may also

  5. A TV Lift Saved My Marriage

    Fan-Mail-Graphic

    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

  7. A Few Reasons to Love Your TV - and Your TV Lift

    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

  8. Choosing the Right TV Cabinets

    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

  10. When Installing Your TV...

    ...pay attention to safety. Installing any electronic item may seem simple at first, but after further examination, one will find that there could be confusion or danger when one doesn't follow instructions. If you've just purchased a new TV, DVD player, or entertainment center, it's important to practice the right safety measures so that you can avoid any injury or risk to your technology. Looking to put in a new TV or other piece of technology? Then be sure to go through this checklist:

    1. Check to see if your TV has any frayed or exposed wires that could cause electrical shock or be a fire hazard.

    2. Is the faceplate of your electrical outlet warm or hot to the touch? If so, contact an electrician immediately as it could mean a serious wiring problem.

    3. If you do have any electrical outlets or cords that are in poor shape, make sure that they're replaced properly. Don't just try to do quick fixes.

    4. Make sure that you don't overload your circuit or outlet by using surge protectors to plug in any
