apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I like the first comment on that page "if you just put the TV on top of the dresser, you'd (gasp) have a working dresser, too". LOL

I agree with that comment! Is there a way to mount the TV lift to the back of the piece so that it comes up from behind and you don't have to butcher the furniture? This just seems so wasteful and kind of silly.

p.s., it also is a shame that he spent $500 and who knows how much time for the sole purpose of hiding a nice TV, while leaving a crappy power strip in full view.

Anne,

I was mostly kidding.

If you're handy with power tools, or know someone who is, you could find a cabinet with deep drawers and you could merely shorten the drawers and have both a functional dresser (with short drawers ;->) and a hidden TV.

Personally I don't see what all the fuss about hiding the TV is all about.

I really like how some people are using mid-century Danish credenzas to hide the electronics & wire mess (that I 100% agree with) and have a flat panel TV on top. To me that's a really sleek look.

But then I also drool over the new 110" monster TV that everyone is talking about now.

Actually... there is a way. Many people buy our TV lift and simply screw it to the wall behind the cabinet. Takes about 10 minutes. http://www.importadvantage.com/lift-mechanism
