Awesome timing! I am building one right now for the end of my daughter’s Ikea Storage bed. Seriously-just finished part of the frame and came inside for water. Decided to search for an example of other people’s projects and found yours right away. I don’t have a plan and have built cabinets before…but now realize I was over complicating mine. Building a frame like a workbench with too many steps and unnecessary pieces. Having your example is exactly what I needed! Thank you!😁🌻
Thanks Warren - really excelent video. Needed one of these but they cost £2000+ so knocked one up last weekend using your superb video as a guide. Even managed to get a WiFi RF smart universal remote box, clone the lift frequency and created some routines so when I ask 'her who will remain nameless' to activate the lift, it's turns the TV on/off.
Hey. Great to hear you found the video useful. I'd be really interested to know what piece of WIFI kit you bought and how you changed the frequency on it as I'd love to be able to do that on mine as well 😊
If you are doing this build, please fit things carefully. The pains hinge will lift the middle section of the top higher than the sides. You can see this when he talks about leveling the middle, but the sides are leveled later. I’m pretty sure he went back and shimmed the sides or mortised the hinge. I’m in the midst of redoing some things on a build because I assumed it would sit level.
How did you level the side top sections? In the video you show the middle section needing to be raised up a bit in the front (caused by piano hinge), but the sides are lower. Final video shows them all level! Love the video!
Well done I'm just about to start the same project. Concise instructions and easy to understand. The link to the lift you used goes to a US site. Any advice for a recommended UK based lift?....Cheers Pete
Great to hear. Here's link to the mechanism I bought in the uk: ECO-WORTHY 700mm Automatic Plasma/LCD Motorised Television TV Lift Mount Bracket Stroke Save Space www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01B47NVYO/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_GVHWGDGXBW9FN89N4T8B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Love the video. I'm planning on making one. Question: From when you cut the lid and painting steps, the lid went from flat to beveled. How did you do that?
Nice cabinet and great tutorial, thank you. I've been reluctant to build a TV lift because most of the YT videos use lifts that are prohibitively expensive. Could you tell me if you're happy with your lift, and how loud it is?
Great video! I’m getting ready to build one myself for a 55 inch tv. What are the measurements of this cabinet? Do I need to make a deeper cabinet as the tv gets bigger to increase the stability? As you can tell from my questions, I’m not used to building these things. ;-)
Did you make the height so tall bc of the mechanism required it? Love the idea and seemed pretty simply but would prefer a stand that doesn’t tower my bed.
