  2. Going Green in the Flat Screen

    In the U.S., it is estimated that 70 percent of all heavy metals in our landfills comes from discarded electronics, and since TVs are getting cheaper every year, that amount could easily rise. Already, ImportAdvantage has discussed the importance of recycling your old TV lift cabinet by repurposing it or giving it to a shelter or charity.

    However, the Tel Aviv University is the first to discover that a new nano-technology may be able to “green” the optics used in flat-screen TVs, making them more environmentally friendly. The new technology is a form of biological material that creates light via light-emitting diodes (LED), reducing the need for toxic heavy metals in TV sets.

    Not only would this new technology be more environmentally-friendly, it could produce a higher quality picture, too, by improving the TV’s resolution. Production of these new TVs is still many years away, as the discovery was just released this past August, but it is an encouraging step in the right direction.

  5. How Furniture Styles Evolved

    Nearly all of ImportAdvantage’s TV lift cabinets have their styles deeply rooted in major periods of furniture design, which highlights the knowledge and respect our craftsmen have for our products. Furniture styles have a long, important and varied history (dating back as far as the Neolithic period), and here is an overview of two key styling periods and how they helped shaped a couple of ImportAdvantage’s TV lift cabinets.

    Baroque Style

    During the 17th and 18th centuries, the most common furniture style was Baroque, an ornate and detail-oriented style that featured intricate carvings on arms of chairs, headboards and table feet. The most common woods used during this period were oak and walnut, as they were sturdy and easy to carve. One fine example of Baroque influence on ImportAdvantage’s TV lift cabinets is the Willowcraft TV Lift Cabinet.
