It was so easy to install. I love that I can sit anywhere and it’s long enough for me or my kids to flip the tv in any direction. Definitely buying another one for my room.
Excellent Articulating TV Wall Mount. Come with a template which makes mounting this very easy. Tape the template on the wall, level the template, locate stud with a Stud Finder, drill holes, install included lag bolt, hang the TV and enjoy.
Excellent product. Very substantial construction, lots of angles and positions to fit any need and understandable instructions. Performs as described. I installed this in my kitchen so that I can extend the flat screen TV beyond a cabinet. Now I can view the screen from across the kitchen while I prepare meals. Exactly what I intended.
We purchased this TV mount to enable the TV to extend beyond the end of a fireplace. The TV is recessed in a pocket between the fireplace and a window. This mount allows us to telescope and turn the TV so all can see beyond the fireplace. I consider the unit exceptionally well-constructed and designed. The mounting kit contains a variety of fasteners to anchor the unit to the wall. In our case, we needed our own lag screws to secure the frame to the stud pattern on the wall.
The unit is is rather ornery and cumbersome to install. Plan on two people to install. The mounting template works well. But it is important to measure the mounting slots in the unit's frame to ensure the one's chosen align with the wall stud's locations. I recommend using a level and drawing a centerline for the fasteners to follow. Pre-drill holes into the wall studs.
I strongly recommend not mounting through the drywall with plastic expansion anchors. There will be a lot of bearing on a material that is not designed for long-term structural integrity.
We use all of the mount's 40" extension. It certainly meets our needs.
