Newest update - although the process was quite slow IMHO, I want to report that the Seller finally came through in a VERY satisfactory way. After quite a bit of back and forth, not only did they refund my purchase price, sent me an heavier duty set of extension bars, they also sent me a brand new heavier duty mount as well (at no charge!). While I still believe the original mount I purchased was no able to support the weight indicated in their specs, they explained that metal will bend with stress, ie, the weight of the tv. So I accepted this explanation. But above all, I greatly appreciate their willingness to ensure that I was pleased with my overall experience. They truly went above and beyond to make sure that I was totally satisfied. Thank you to their fantastic Customer Service team for resolving my issue. I am grateful for their support and service. Upgrading from 2 stars to 5 for that reason and the Seller’s determination to satisfy their customers.Update after Seller reply - I finally received a reply from the Seller after nearly a week. Unfortunately they didn’t provide a fix for the issue (either to replace the extension bars with something more heavy duty or have available as one solid piece), however they did offer to refund my purchase price. All things considered, I am satisfied with the resolution. However I still believe that the extension bars are not sturdy enough. If they do not reconfigure the bars that the tv sits on, they should change their specs to indicate a lower weight rating than what they currently claim. Just keep this in mind if you decide to purchase. Upgrading from 1 to 2 stars as a reflection of the Seller’s offer to refund the purchase price.Extension bars (what the brackets attached to the back of the tv) are not strong enough. I installed the mount into studs on the wall and was meticulous about making sure that it was 100% level. Then we hung the tv on it and noticed that the tv slanted to the left noticeably. And even though the tv is heavy (a Samsung 85”), at 95 lbs., it’s still well under the maximum weight that this bracket is rated for. And behind the tv, you can clearly see that the extension bar is bending under the weight. So I tried loosening the adjustment bolts on the bracket to slightly rotate the tv to a level position and the first bolt was in so tight that I couldn’t loosen it and it started stripping out the head of the bolt - not a good scenario! I reached out to the Seller to explain the situation and ask if they had heavier duty extension arms or a one-piece arm rather than the two piece arms that come with the mount. I even said I would wait to hear back from the Seller before I wrote a review. And guess what? They haven’t replied to me yet.In my opinion, the extension bars are the “Achilles Heel” of what otherwise seems to be a sturdy mount. It’s a shame these bars are not made as well as the rest of the product.If the Seller ever responds and offers an acceptable solution/replacement, I will update this review. Otherwise it’s going to be returned for a refund.

I feel like there are a ton of TV wall mounts that seem to be exactly like this one and I'm not sure how different any of them are from each other. I just went with this one because it had good previous reviews and was among the cheapest for this type of wall mount. It's working well for me so far.This mount provides rotation and tilt. It does not provide full range of motion, ie. it's not going to let you pull the TV *down* from above a mantle like some more expensive mounts do. If you want that, you're probably going to pay a couple hundred bucks. I decided that for me and my use case, that wasn't worth it. The TV I've mounted with this is in an "extra" family room in my house (I have one of those houses with a second living space that nobody ever knows what to do with), and I mainly use it to watch from the kitchen while cooking. The number of times per year I'd have to worry about someone having to look up uncomfortably at this screen from the couch I could probably count on one hand. But YMMV - if I were mounting my main TV over a fireplace, I'd probably want to be able to pull it down.Installing it was about as easy as it probably could be. Keep in mind that there are some steps to this that just can't be simplified or eliminated. You first need to attach the hanger brackets to your TV, which is a matter of just a few screws. Make sure your TV supports one of the many standard VESA mounts this mount does - I'd be very surprised if any modern TV wouldn't be compatible, but you may just want to double check. I had a little difficulty figuring out what screws to use to attach the brackets to my TV - the ones that came with my TV were too short, the ones meant to be used for this that came with the mount too long. Luckily they provided a set of screws for a *different* purpose that I ended up not needing and that fit perfectly. But if they hadn't, I'd have had to make a trip to the hardware store.Next, if you're attaching the mount to a standard interior wall, you need to use a stud-finder to locate the wood studs to drill your holes into. A paper template came with mine to help out with the actual placement of the holes, but when I went to actually drill, I just held up the mounting plate to make sure everything lined up. Make sure you measure the height of your holes properly - I had doubts all the way up to the point of hanging my TV up that I had drilled high enough despite measuring several times. You do have a little leeway to move the brackets on the TV if you happen to drill a little high or low, but I wouldn't want them to be holding the TV too far from its center of gravity.The mount attaches to your wall studs with lag bolts, and you'll need a ratcheted socket wrench with the right socket on it for this. This *did* require a trip to the hardware store for me. Truth be told I'm glad they were socket bolts rather than screw heads, because these are pretty serious bolts and getting them in those last few centimeters would be *really* difficult with a screwdriver or even a drill. If you're wondering (I did), there is also some leeway to position the mount in the center of whatever you're putting it over, if your studs do happen to be a bit off-center.There's then just some minor assembly of the arms that hold the brackets on the back of the TV, and then you hang the TV and secure it down. You do need to be careful that everything is more or less centered at this point. It is easy - and I did this initially - to hang the TV on the mounting arms slightly off-center, then push the whole thing into the wall off-center in the opposite direction. The TV will then look centered from a distance and from most angles, but will hang a little oddly, won't sit flush against the wall and won't have the right motion when you pull it out to tilt or rotate it. I had to unhook the TV again, re-center it on the mounting arms and then just push the mounting arms back the right way. Somehow I'd gotten the tilt tensioner caught up in the mechanism and that took me a few minutes to free, but it wasn't a big deal.If you mess up the leveling when you first drill your holes, you can level this mount by up to 4 degrees once it's all assembled. The way you do that is by undoing four screws on the back and then literally grabbing the entire TV and manually leveling it before re-securing the screws, so it's not exactly easy and is really a two-person job, but it works. I've seen tons of fireplace-mounted TV's that were clearly askew; mine is now dead level and there's no reason yours can't be too.The main thing is that this mount feels solid, which is always my big worry when wall-mounting a big TV.

The mounting process as with any mount was a challenge even when hiring a professional to do the work. Customer service themselves reached out to help with any of the concerns I had and addressed them. The mount is up and looks invisible behind the television and doesnt stick out and is a fraction of the cost. Customer service is key in any business as well as integrity which this brand has, and because of this experience will be ordering another for one of the bedrooms. Thanks and kudos to the entire team from production to customer service and support!

Good quality, easy to install, strong

Mount came quickly and well packaged. Installation was easy, but the mount to the wall was only 16” at the max. I got lucky since my studs were centered in the space. There is the ability to mount a few inches off center by sliding the tv left or right on the mount. However, that only gives me about 4” leeway based on my TV. Would be better if the wall mount were 24” wide rather than 16” giving you more flexibility to center in the space. Locate your studs before you order.
