How to build a TV lift cabinet

Instructables has a great step-by-step how-to on building your own custom TV lift, which hides the TV when not in use. It does require a ~$500 kit and an old 6-drawer dresser that will become otherwise inoperable, but the end result looks pretty cool and lets you hide a TV completely from a room when not in use.

Custom built versions can often cost thousands, so this is a pretty economical way to build one yourself for much less.

No offense but why would you want to in this instance - the dresser is MUCH tackier looking than the TV.

Yeah, it's kind of an ugly dresser, but I'm sure other people have nicer old furniture around that could make it work.

Personally, I hate the way a big TV (even thin ones) dominate a space and would love to be able to make a lift that could make it disappear completely.

Nexus21 & flatlift, your products are way over priced... 4K + for a 2K tv yea right! ImportA, your product is better priced, but why is it so big?
