Where else, besides desks, can lifting columns be used?
Oh, absolutely! I actually used a linear actuator lifting column https://www.progressiveautomations.com/collections/lifting-column-sets to make a DIY kitchen island that can go up and down. It’s super handy when I’m cooking or prepping, and it’s saved my back a few times. I’ve also seen people use them for TV stands, art easels, and even small car lifts in hobby garages. The trick is just making sure the column’s rated for the weight you’re putting on it.

Lately I’ve noticed that a lot of furniture and devices are becoming more modular and adjustable. Even old-school shelving units are getting little motors and lift systems built in, which seems to make everything way more convenient. It’s kind of wild how a little mechanism can completely change how we interact with everyday objects, from the living room to the garage. I think we’re only scratching the surface of what can be automated at home.
