Pop-up TV cabinets are wonderful pieces of furniture! They can be placed anywhere, they’ll get your TV out of sight and still allow you to watch it whenever you want. And while you’re out shopping for pop-up TVs, you might first be attracted to the beautiful modern designs and the look of this style of TV lift. But look a littler further beyond the design, because there are some other key things you should look for when buying a pop-up TV cabinet.
The first thing you should look at is the material the pop-up TV cabinet is made from. Steel is going to be the strongest and most durable, but there are many different types of wood that will also be strong enough to hold your television. Plastic and synthetic material is generally not a good choice for popup TVs because these materials will bend and break more quickly as the weight of your television becomes too much for them over time.
The next thing you should look at is the mechanism of the pop-up TV cabinet. Rack and pinion, mechanisms are some of the most popular for pop-up TV cabinets because they are known for their durability and will last a very long time. Another advantage to rack and pinion TV lifts is that they are incredibly strong, and can hold TVs over 200 pounds, depending on the model.
The power behind the pop-up TV is also something that should be looked at, and this is what will probably also be one of the first things to impress you about these types of TV lift cabinets. You do want to make sure that there is sufficient power behind your pop-up TV yet you also want to make sure that it’s not going to sound like it has a ton of power behind it. Look for models that are quieter, such as the Whisper Ride, so that you can enjoy your pop-up TV to its fullest.
Next to power is the speed, and that’s something that everyone wants to know about their TV lift cabinets. How fast will it raise my TV? And will it shoot up dramatically out of the cabinet? Well no, and you don’t really want it to. Look for a pop-up TV that has a raising and lowering speed of about ten to twenty seconds, and you’ll know that you’re in the right range.
