How deep does a cabinet / sideboard have to be for a built-in TV lift?
The depth of a cabinet or sideboard for a built-in TV lift depends on the design of the lift and the depth of the TV. As a general rule, the internal depth should be at least 12-20 cm greater than the depth of the TV to provide sufficient space for the mechanics and ventilation. Many TV lifts require an overall depth of 25-40 cm, depending on the model and screen size.
