Following the completion of market research, the team has discovered that the majority of outdoor TV stands weigh in excess of 200 pounds, with some even reaching up to 350 pounds. This weight can be attributed to the large volume of the TV stand, the thick board material used, and the heavy motorized lifting device. The team has identified the significant drawbacks of such heavyweight cabinets, primarily in terms of installation and transportation convenience.

In response to this, the founder of Intellicube and his team have outlined the primary research and development objective of reducing the weight of the outdoor TV stand. After exploring various materials available on the market, the team has settled on utilizing aluminum honeycomb panels. These panels consist of 0.7-inch thick aluminum honeycomb core wrapped with 0.8 to 1.0 millimeter aluminum sheets on both sides. This innovative panel construction offers superior strength compared to traditional wood panels while significantly reducing weight to only 1/6 to 1/4 of the weight of wood panels. Additionally, the aluminum honeycomb panels are waterproof, moisture-proof, and less susceptible to deformation, making them ideal for outdoor furniture manufacturing. Furthermore, this material is easily accessible in the market and comes at a reasonable price point.

Although this type of furniture has been utilized in some regions, it is the first time it is being introduced to the outdoor TV cabinet sector. Thanks to the team’s efforts, the weight of the newly designed TV stand has been successfully reduced to less than 50 kilograms, greatly enhancing the ease of installation and transportation.
