Hi All,
I am thinking about building a lift up TV stand for a flat screen LCD TV.
I have tried searching for a picture of one but have not seen any.
My idea would be a stand that is about 48" wide, 36" deep and about 24" high. The top of the table will have a hinge and will be able to be lifted up 90 degrees to reveal a flat screen TV mounted to the bottom of the table top. Once you are done watching TV the top can be put down, hiding the TV.
Here are some things that I think might be problems:
-Hinges - the TV will be about 60 pounds plus the weight of the top
-Top supports - when in the open position I would like to have supports like the ones used for toy boxes or trunks to hold it in the open position, but again I think there will be a weight issue
-When the stand is in the closed position the TV will be hanging up side down. Will this cause any damage to the TV?
Thanks for any input that you may have.
