Step 2Decide Where You Want to Hide the TV
Choose a piece of furniture behind which to hide the TV. Make sure it is tall enough to cover the whole TV so it will be completely hidden.
Also, the TV and the lift mechanism will need about 8" of depth behind the cabinet (give or take a little, depending on the depth of your flat panel TV), so it is a good idea to select a place in the room where it won't matter too much if your furniture is further away from the wall than normal.
For this project, the height from the floor to the bottom of the window was only about 24 inches, and the cabinet was about 25" tall. The TV and the lift mechanism were both under 24" tall, so both were able to be hidden behind the cabinet and below the window.
