  • Odd question. I would like to make a stand for a TV we've been given. Ideally it will be on wheels with a footprint as close to the size of the telly as possible.

    The tricky bit is that I'd like it to be vertically adjustable - so that it can be dropped down when not in use, and easily popped back up to watching height (bottom of telly ~2ft off the floor). I have a wall mounting bracket, and I reckon fabricating the stand would be easy enough, but I'm unsure of how to make the mechanism for height adjustment. Is there anything off the shelf that might work? I've been mulling over using heavy duty drawer sliders and counterweights but not really got any further than pondering it.

  • Just use a gas lift arm. Should be able to find one that supports even a large tv.

  • I don’t know how I’d get that to work for vertical travel tho. I’ve only ever seen them used on hinged applications.
