I built this TV Lift from an armoire I bought from Habitat for Humanity for $40. Then cut it down to size. Then Sanded off the hideous white wash (pickle) finish. Then applied one coat of dark walnut stain followed by 2 coats of red oak stain (each coat a very light one). I bought the TV Lift parts from Firgelli Automations "http://www.firgelliauto.com/". I searched the web high and low and this is the best company to deal with hands down! I'm sure I'll build another for the 50" Plasma and will buy the parts from Firgelli.
