When Ali and Josh @theficouple bought their new forever home, they knew the living room was going to be one of their favorite spaces. However, this room didn’t have a great spot to fit a TV. Mounting the TV above the fireplace felt too high for a comfortable viewing experience, while placing a TV stand in front of the windows blocked the scenic view of the outside.
“We spent HOURS researching creative ways to hide a TV,” Ali and Josh explain. “Eventually, we randomly came across a Touchstone® TV Lift Cabinet, and it was literally the perfect solution. We could hide the TV when we weren't using it, while still having a beautiful, functional piece of furniture that complemented the room instead of distracting from it.”
No Space For a Wall Mount TV? No Problem.
Ali and Josh reached out to the Touchstone Home Products customer service team for help finding the best TV lift cabinet to fit their needs. Ali shares, “We were so impressed with the level of customer support, from helping us choose the right cabinet to coordinating delivery and answering our questions about setup…We genuinely couldn't be happier with both the cabinet and the experience we had with Touchstone.”
They chose the Touchstone® Shoreline Smart TV Lift Cabinet to solve their design challenge. Available in White or Unfinished, the Shoreline model features simple paneling with elegant detailing.
“The Shoreline was immediately our favorite. It felt clean, bright, simple, and complemented the design of our space perfectly…The Shoreline blends in beautifully while still feeling like a high-quality piece of furniture.”
The elevator style TV cabinet ships with a top rated Touchstone® motorized TV lift mechanism pre-installed. Simply attach the included mounting bracket, and secure your TV to the bracket with the included universal connection kit. No drilling, leveling or searching for studs in the wall - you can position the TV Lift Cabinet to the ideal spot for TV viewing.
Press a Button, and There It Is
With the click of the included remote control or Touchstone mobile app, the TV rises out of the cabinet into view and lowers back into the cabinet as desired.
Ali details, “We LOVE that when the TV is tucked away, the room feels cozy, intimate, and designed around the people in it rather than the television. TVs just aren't that pretty, even the fancy ones! Now ours disappears when we're not using it, but when we want a family movie night, we press a button, and there it is.”
Out of Sight, Out of Mind - Reducing Family Screen Time
Ali and Josh note that hiding the TV in the cabinet has helped them reduce their child’s screen time.
“An unexpected bonus is how easy it is to limit our 3-year-old's TV viewing. When the TV is tucked away, it's truly out of sight, out of mind, which has been amazing for moderating screen time.”
The Problem Solver
“It's incredibly easy to use, practical, and SUCH a high-quality piece of furniture. It gives us all the functionality of having a TV in the room without having to design the entire room around a giant black screen," Ali remarks.
Short on wall space or want to optimize an open floor plan? A Touchstone TV Lift Cabinet offers a design-friendly alternative to a TV attached to the wall. A TV Lift Cabinet can fix these common challenges:
-
A room with many windows - When not in use, lower your TV into the cabinet for an unobstructed outdoor view.
-
Limited wall space for TV mounting - Attach the TV to the cabinet lift mechanism, not to the wall.
-
Use the TV Lift Cabinet as a room divider in an open plan room. The Shoreline is finished with knobs on both sides for easy placement. Add an optional 360-degree swivel to the TV Lift, and watch TV from anywhere in the room.
-
Reduce screen time at night. Place the TV Lift Cabinet at the end of your bed for nighttime binge watching, and lower the TV when it is time to go to sleep.
