Its a shame that you have to watch a million crappy videos, go finally find this gem! Thanks a lot. If you could provide some more detailed information on the parts you used, and maybe some crucial instructions, that would be awesome! Cheers
Don't be afraid.. I built this 2 months ago and have a 32" tv hung inside the box and have not had the first problem out of it. But if you would rather spend the 500.00 for the lift only that you can purchase then feel free. I am very pleased with the way that it turned out and would suggest to anyone that is looking to do this on their own that this is a cheap and effective way to accomplish a TV lift. Nice name by the way. Looks as though you may lack stability as well.
This Gas strut is the longest one that Advance Auto parts had. I think it was 31" when fully opened. Since this video though I had to add another in the opposite direction because the TV weighed to much for one strut. Overall it works really well though.
Great video , any details on the gas strut you used ? I'm going to use your design but I don't know what to search for here in Ireland for the strut ? Thanks in advance 🎉
We purchased a very nice cabinet with a TV lift about 8 years ago. All went well until our little remote quit working about a month ago. We took the remote to a local place where they put in a new battery. So the remote seems fine, but will not connect to the lift in the cabinet and raise the TV. My husband had to get into the rear of the cabinet and manually open the top cabinet door and then raise the TV using the button inside the cabinet (the one on the lift itself). That works just fine. It's the remote that doesn't seem to work. What could be the problem? If you're not able to help, can you direct us on who to call regarding this problem. We can get the TV down and the top door shuts, but then opening the cabinet door on top and raising the TV using the remote is the problem. All seems to work except the remote. For now the TV is raised until we can fix this problem. Sorry for being so wordy. It's a mystery to us grandparents who don't know a lot about technology.
that is a fantastic idea , I have someone wanting me too build a media cabinet with manual lift you are the only video that has good information , How long of a strut are you using. and what is the cavity size for the TV and the struts . hope you reply soon I have to build this this month thanks
how many pounds does that gas strut hold? I am looking to do the same thing. no way am I spending $500 just for a lift.. how do you think it would work if two gas struts are installed?
nods to the left and right by these guides are not stable would be to let go of it in the groove. How will do something to let you know;) original cost $ 257 in my country. But you have a good idea;)

Show the bloody bottom how it works while it's moving upwards dude.

i was looking for a tv-lift idea without motor, this is great!
great idea! did the same with my attic hatch. works perfect
Good one Eric. I really never seen that done like that before.
that is a fantastic idea , I have someone wanting me too build a media cabinet with manual lift you are the only video that has good information , How long of a strut are you using. and what is the cavity size for the TV and the struts . hope you reply soon I have to build this this month thanks
I will upload a new video of current condition for you. I think it works pretty good but you can be the judge!
Fantastic idea, What size gas strut have you used ?
Have the gas struts lasted? Or have you had to replace them? Are you still using this?
what kind of brackets and where did you get them to mount your shocks?

What strength gas struts did u use?? 100n - 300n
thank you!! thank you!! these two videos are phenomenal and helped me visualize exactly what i've been wanting to do!
how the lift go down and did not go up?
0 stability do not use the guides. I be afraid to put anything on that
