Step chests are a centuries old design from Japan. These were originally devised as a clever way to hide a loft space from taxation by quickly switching from stairs to an unassuming cabinet when an inspector showed up.
The TV Step is a contemporary adaptation that functions as a TV cabinet. The main section has hide away doors to best see the TV. The drawers in the piece are a good size for storing DVDs and other media.
The TV Step is also double sided, so it can act as a room divider or be placed in other places where both sides can be accessed.
