  3. How to Mount A TV Lift To a Wall

    How to Mount A TV Lift To a Wall

    For many years, people have been mounting their televisions behind furniture to the wall to save floor space. That’s especially important these days as condos and apartments (and even some homes) get smaller and smaller. 

    As televisions get larger and larger, there is also a concern about making sure that the mounting mechanisms are secure, especially in areas of the country that are prone to earthquakes.

    Our line of TV Lift Mechanisms (while often installed into cabinets) can actually be directly mounted to a wall. Want to hide your TV behind a sofa or other piece of furniture? Consider wall mounting it. 

    Here are a few tips for making sure you mount your television correctly.

    First, can your wall handle the weight of the television? Most televisions these days are heavier than standard hanging pieces, so you will need to find the studs to anchor the screws. In some cases, you might need two studs. It’s relatively easy to locate them with a stud finder. We don’t recommend using drywall

  6. Moving into retirement? Here are some must-haves for the savvy senior.

    Moving into retirement? Here are some must-haves for the savvy senior.

    10,000 people turn 65 every day, according to a study by Deutsche Bank in late 2018. Some people have their retirement carefully planned out and know exactly where and how they plan to live out their golden years. I’m currently in the planning stages myself - just a few years to go until I hang up my writing tools. So, I know firsthand that the checklist to get to retirements seems to get longer every day. 

    Here are a few things my friends have shared with me when they retired and it’s helping me stay organized has these years fly by quickly. 

    1. Take some time now to start going through clutter. You know what I’m talking about. The clutter that accumulates in your closets, your basements, plastic bins, etc. If you wait until you move into a smaller home, it will seem overwhelming. I sort mine into four piles: Toss (no use left in the item); Donate (someone could use the item); Sell (items with some value that could add extra revenue to your retirement account); or Keep (items to precious

  8. How Does a TV Lift Swivel?

    One of the questions we get from customers is:
    “Just how does the TV Lift Swivel Work?”


    That’s a great question. It’s really very simple. We have a variety of sizes to electrically lift and rotate your TV. If you have a 50” flatscreen (or smaller), you’ll need a 33” swivel mechanism. If you have a 55” or smaller TV, you’ll need a 35” swivel mechanism. You get the drift, the larger the TV, the more height you need for the swivel mechanism. You can see more options here.

    One of the nice things about a TV Lift Cabinet is the built-in wire retainer system that includes two onboard HDMI ports and two onboard HDMI cables. This makes sure your cables won’t get tangled while rotating.

    If you want to see exactly how it works, here’s a short YouTube video below that demonstrates one of our beautiful cabinets that features 360-degree swivel action.

    Like all our lift mechanisms, the swivels are ultra quiet with a high-performance, self-lubricating (polymer) gears

    TV Cabinets that are finished on all four sides provide you with the
    ultimate décor options for any space in your home. Whether you have a small,
    cozy bedroom and want a television at the foot of your bed, or an open living
    space, where you need the illusion of room dividers, four-sided cabinets might
    be just the ticket for your home.

    TV Lift Cabinet has some wonderful options for you to consider if you’re
    looking for a beautiful addition to your home that will provide you with the

    construction to stand the test of time, and elegant enough in design to remain for
    many years.

  10. How Much TV is Too Much for a Room?

    Believe it or not, it is
    possible to buy a TV that’s just too large for a space. While some may believe
    that bigger is always better, most people understand that there are limits.

    How much TV is too much for a room?

    There is a direct
    correlation between your screen size and how far away your seating is located.
    Some entertainment experts say that a viewing angle of 40 degrees creates the
    best viewing experience. An easy way to determine the screen size is to
    multiply the seating distance by .84 to get the recommended screen size.

    So, if you sit around 8 feet
    from your TV, your screen size would be around 80 inches diagonal for that
    distance. That translates to approximately a 50-inch TV. An online consumer
    site, CNET,
    recommended no closer than 1.5 times the screen diagonal (or .667 times your
    seating distance), which allows for a larger screen.

    In addition to distance from
    the screen, the experts also looked at resolution and how much space the TV
    takes up in the room. If you’re sitting too close to a large TV, you may
