Whether you’ve been watching one too many home renovation shows or you happened to stay at a swanky hotel recently, you’ve probably noticed that TV lifts and TV lift cabinets are having a moment. And why shouldn’t they? These handy lifts are great for smaller spaces or for creating a cozy vibe in your living room or bedroom that doesn’t include a prominent flat screen on display. With a TV lift cabinet, you can easily tuck away a TV when not in use, hiding it in a design that fits your décor.

If you’re getting a new TV for the holidays or looking to spruce up your home before guests arrive, TV lifts and TV lift stands can make a big impact on your space.
What to Look for in a TV Lift
Whether you’re looking for a TV lift that’s already assembled in a cabinet or one that you can customize in your own furniture, there are a few basics to keep in mind. Ask yourself how much weight the unit can hold, as well as how large of a TV screen it will accommodate. You don’t want to buy that brand-new 65-inch TV if your TV lift can’t hold it. You’ll also want to consider how powerful and quiet the motor is, whether there are customizable pre-sets to make your life a little easier, what kind of remote control it comes with and whether there are any bonus features — like an extended warranty or easy access to cables.

It’s hard to beat the price of this chic TV lift cabinet, which also comes in a natural or espresso MDF finish. It’s perfect for the base of beds or a living room where you want to tuck a TV away when not in use. The cabinet can hold up to 100 pounds and a 50-inch television, but the unit itself is still sturdy at 150 pounds.

If you’re looking for a TV lift cabinet that can handle even more than a regular old flat screen, this model from Touchstone is heavy-duty. The chestnut finish includes adjustable shelves for storage and display, but it can still fit up to 60-inch televisions. The Whisper Lift II Pro mechanism is also quiet and comes with a 5-year warranty, two remotes, and sliding panels to give you easy access to wires and connections.
BEST SPLURGE
3. Andover Grey 360 Swivel TV Lift Cabinet
Buy Now AT WAYFAIR
This farmhouse-inspired unit fits most TVs from 36 to 49 inches, which is perfect for a sitting room or even a bedroom where you don’t always want to have the TV on display. We love that it has hidden casters to move the unit around quickly, and access holes are at the bottom, so you can also hide any wires. We’re big fans of the fact that you can pre-order wood swatches before you purchase, so you can be 100 percent sure it fits in with your home décor first.
BEST DIY
4. CO-Z Motorized TV Lift

If you’re feeling handy and want to craft a cabinet, or if you’re just looking for a TV lift for boardroom presentations at the office, you can always grab a motorized TV lift and go the DIY route. The CO-Z swivels and tilts so you can see the screen from pretty much any direction, and the alloy steel frame holds screens up to 57 inches and 165 pounds. We also like that you can operate the 24V motor from the attached handset or the long-range remote control.
BEST FOR LARGE SCREENS

If you don’t need a cabinet, you plan on building your own, or you want to convert a unit you already have, this unit from Touchstone can handle TV screens up to 70 inches. It also comes with a flat-top lid mount that makes it ideal for flush counter installs, plus it comes with a 360-degree swivel that could be handy in an open-concept design. We like that there are two remotes, but we especially like that there’s a three-year manufacturer warranty that covers replacing any non-functioning lift mechanism parts.
