Hartford Television Lift Entertainment Center
At Matukewicz Furniture, we specialize in products that combine excellent craftsmanship and beauty with convenient functionality. The original design shown below is a southwest style entertainment-display center made of Alder hardwood and finished with a chestnut glaze. We incorporated the revolutionary Matukewicz Television Lift which allows for a multi-functional living space, starting as a beautiful display case, and with the touch of a button, transforming into a functional entertainment center. Internal accent lighting was used throughout the cabinets and beams, with mica and glass used to soften the light and add character. Internal slide-outs are used in the center to organize and access media, while audio components and a sub woofer are stowed behind the arched lower doors. The unit stands at 10 feet wide and 8 feet high. What a warm, elegant and beautiful look! (scroll past photos for more details)
Within the cabinet, we build a matching TV-case to surround the top, bottom, back and sides of the television. This increases TV stability, enhances TV volume, improves the overall appearance (wires are hidden and there is an extended area of décor placement on top of the cabinet), and increases safety (decreases chance for fingers to get pinched or decorative items to fall inside the cabinet).
MFC lift systems are operated and controlled by a CC12 Xantech remote relay; and function by universal remote as well as an on-board activation switch. The system includes 3 factory installed HDMI wires, an optical audio wire, a coaxial cable, an Ethernet wire, and a speaker wire. All pre installed cords are fed through our Igus chain cord management system to help prevent those cords from being damaged over the years. A power surge protector is also included to help protect installed components.
A custom sized wood crate is built for shipping. The custom crate ensures the perfect fit for the cabinet and thus allows for the highest level of shipping protection.
Television Lifts can be customized with any wood type, finish color, and feature options such as swivel mechanisms, pull out articulating arms, storage options, and more. Available for TV sizes up to 90″. (modifications subject to price change)
