SO Strong!
Review by J. W. on 10 Apr 2012 review stating SO Strong! If you're looking for a wall mount for a large flat panel TV that is built to last, and works without sagging or flexing, this is it! We recently bought a 47-inch TV for a bedroom, and a 55-inch TV for the family room/kitchen area. The 47-inch TV won't be manipulated a whole lot, so we bought a basic wall mount at Costco for it. The 55-inch TV, which is mounted on a wall in our family room with this wall mount, will be swung out daily toward the kitchen (while I do meal prep and clean up), or tipped down a little and swung a little in the opposite direction (for viewing from the loveseat).This wall mount works smoothly and effortlessly, despite the size and weight of the 55-inch TV. (I'm a 59 year old woman, and I can push/pull the TV into position with only one hand!)When our contractor friend opened the box for this heavy beast he said, "It looks like this thing could launch a rocket at NASA!" It is really that high quality!We were initially hesitant to spend this much money on a wall mount, but because of the distance the 55-inch TV would be moved daily, we didn't want to risk any problems with it coming off the wall and/or someone getting hurt. We haven't been sorry about our decision. By contrast, the much cheaper wall mount that we bought for the 47-inch TV is exactly that--much cheaper in all respects. (That one came with an Allen wrench for periodic tightening of the screws because the movement causes them to loosen...NOTHING has to be maintained on THIS monster!) In this case, the old adage holds true: "You get what you pay for."
