TV + Table: A Custom Commissioned Piece in Catonsville, MD

This custom TV lift table was built for a client who wanted the screen available when needed and out of sight when not in use. The piece combines furniture making, hidden technology, ventilation, cable management, and a crisp black finish.

Key Details Motorized lift, recessed panels, flush lid, ventilation, and cable management

Refined Style With Hidden Technology

The exterior reads like a clean furniture piece, not an electronics cabinet. Recessed panel doors, crisp trim, and the satin black finish allow the table to sit naturally in the room when the screen is hidden.

Closed position. The TV stays out of sight when it is not needed.

Furniture scale. The piece works as a console or sideboard.

Clean finish. The black finish keeps the form simple and grounded.

Built Around the Lift Mechanism

The interior had to support more than appearance. The lift mechanism, internal cable management, ventilation, and flush lid were all planned as part of the build so the technology could work cleanly inside a custom furniture shell.

The motorized lift makes the screen available without making it the center of the room all the time.

Fine Carpentry in a Functional Piece

Because the table needed to behave as both furniture and an entertainment center, the details mattered: solid construction, clean panel work, smooth trim, a flush top, and practical access for the components inside.

The Result

The finished piece solves a specific problem with custom craft: a screen that can disappear, furniture that still looks finished, and internal details that keep the technology usable and organized.
