Abstract: A cabinet has an accessory, such as a flat panel television screen, mounted to the inner surface of the top panel. The top panel is pivotally mounted to the body of the cabinet. A lifting mechanism attached between the top panel and another part of the cabinet entirely lifts the top panel or provides assistance to open the top panel.

Abstract: Manufacturing methods for furniture having a durable laminated surface with a digitally printed graphic image of a design include the steps of creating a graphic image of a design, printing the graphic image with a printer onto printer paper laminated to an uncut or precut furniture substrate, coating the paper with a protective coating, and finishing the laminated furniture components for later assembly. Optionally, the graphic image is printed on paper, which is later adhered to uncut or precut furniture substrate. The finishing steps include cutting the laminated furniture substrate into furniture components, edge banding the edges of the laminated furniture components and preparing the furniture components with fastener housings for later assembly. Ready-to-assemble furniture is provided with at least one exterior laminated furniture surface having a high quality digitally printed image of graphic design such as wood grain, wood inlay or other custom design.
