> 3 dayThis is the second dream mount I’ve purchased! Great quality and they supply you with the supplies needed to mount in a variety of ways. The tilt feature helps greatly if you have your tv mounted higher and need to tilt it down for better visibility

> 3 dayI bought this to mount a Toshiba 50 4k Smart TV with Chromecast built in (Model 50L711U18). It works exactly as described and feels extremely sturdy. 95% of the time, I have the tv extended almost as far off the wall as the mount will allow it and i am not even remotely worried. For anyone in a similar situation to me who has neither concrete walls, nor wood studs, but has metal studs, I would recommend using snap toggle bolts instead of the supplied hardware (you can get them at home depot). This is what I used and they work like a charm for mountain anything. My only problem with this entire mount has to do with the cardboard guide it provides that you can stick to your wall to mark where your holes will go. The guide itself works well, but the adhesive is so sticky, that it ripped the paint and face of the sheetrock right off when attempting to remove it to install the mount. I was expecting it to attach almost like a post it note that would easily peel back off the wall, but this is closer to duct tape. so keep that in mind before firmly applying it to the wall before marking your holes. Not enough of a problem to remove any stars though, this mount is wonderful, and for the price, it absolutely cannot be beat.

> 3 dayThis mount is awesome! The instructions, template, and ease of use is great! Figuring out which mounting screws and washers for the tv were was the hardest part (but since every TV is a little different, this is to be expected). The only recommendation to the manufacture is add at least an inch more to the wall mounting plate for imperfect stud spacing. In short, measure your stud spacing before buying to make sure it is 16 or less and you will be golden! If your spacing is greater than 16, it will depend on how handy you are, read below for some insight. The reason being, stud spacing is not going to be exact. This is just the nature of construction. As you can see in my pictures, I had to angle the lag bolts on one side because the studs were just over 17 apart (this is where the wife wanted...so had to make it work!). This is no fault of the product bought, just how house construction can be. Another option, for stud spacing greater than 16, would be to install some horizontal wooden slats from stud to stud to secure the wall mount to with the lag bolts. Only downside to this is it will stick out farther from the wall.

> 3 dayThis mount is great! I can’t believe the quality for the price. Very sturdy and It does exactly what we wanted, which is to pull out, go up and down and side to side. It was very easy to install. They even put an HDMI cable, a little level in the box along with all the hardware etc and a guide to help you get it where you want on the wall. The one and only thing I can say is the bracket is 16” on the dot so you have to make sure you’re right in the center of the studs. Definitely DO NOT hang this directly into your dry wall. It’s way too heavy, that along with the weight of the tv will definitely cause it to fall. Luckily the mount has that warning written all over it. I’d buy this over and over again.

> 3 dayThis is more complicated than hanging a picture--it needs to support a lot of weight swinging from the wall--but I took the instructions step-by-step and it went smoothly. The template is hefty paper (not a flimsy folded sheet) with sticky strips to hold it on the wall and a little level. Theres a trouble-shooting guide in case your studs are too far apart, and all kinds of extras--a longer HDMI cable in case your cable box is now too far away, cable ties, another level to adjust the set. You do want to read the Amazon listing and check your wall before you buy, to be sure the studs are 16 on center and that the midpoint between them is where you want the TV. If not, check out other Mounting Dream models. Hanging on a concrete wall? Call them for anchors. They dont include them because folks tried to use them as drywall anchors. I did not see any guidance on how high to mount it, so try this: Decide where you want the bottom of the TV to be. After screwing the brackets to the back of the TV, lay the mounting on the back and measure from bottom of the TV to the top mounting holes. I had been so used to watching the TV from a bad angle that I did not realize what a difference this would make. And it frees up lots of table space.

> 3 dayGreat stand, I was only able to mount to one stud, due to my builder doing some weird framing over my fireplace. I used two toggle bolts that could each hold up to 50 lbs. I used two lug bolts (Included) into the stud (Top and Bottom of the left side of mount) and then I did two toggle bolts (1/8”x4”) on the right side top and bottom. It is very sturdy even not being into 2 studs. My only complaint with the stand is the plate the TV mounts onto is just wide enough to hook the TV on. They could definitely make this plate longer so that you could slide your TV left or right to help center, but with my TV 49 it didnt have any room for adjustment. Overall, I would recommend this stand, if it works with your mounting situation. I would recommend finding at least 1 stud, but I dont think having 2 is an absolute must, with the right equipment you can make 1 stud work just as well. With some heavier duty toggle bolts (I saw some that went up to 100 lbs) you could probably mount this only by toggle bolts, but that would make me a little nervous. I have been using this product for about 2 weeks now with no issues. See my pictures for added clarification. Pros: -Sturdy Construction -Telescoping mount -Swivels Left and right -Angles down -Ample Mounting of Supporting Materials (Comes with a replica mounting sheet that you can test on your wall before drilling any holes, as well as bubble level for both the paper [stick on] and for the mount) Cons: -Mounting Plate not large enough to adjust left or right for small centering adjustments (My Tv was at the Max mounting hole width at 16”, if your tv mount holes are closer together than 16” than this might not be a problem, or if your studs are in the right spots to perfectly center, then it also wont be a problem.) -Takes some effort to pull TV out and Push in, there are no springs to help offset tension (Not a huge problem, but worth notating.) -Angling up or down requires loosening and tightening screws in the back (Also not a huge deal, adjust it where you want it one time and then just leave it.) -Recommend having 2 people (I know some can do this by themselves, but it is easier and safer with two, this would probably be the case for most any mounting stand though.)

Greater than one weekFirst of all it is very good support. It mounted well and with no hiccups although the wall plate is just barely big enough for the 16 spaced studs and TV brackets are barely big enough for the 400x400 VESA. No issues with any of that but if you have anything even remotely out of spec youll be in bad luck. I also have an Echo mount for my other TV and the difference between them lays in minor details. The functionality is the same and the quality is very similar but Echo has a few more touches like covers for the lag screws that attach the bracket to the wall and cable hangers instead of Velcro ties only. I also prefer Echo 1-screw leveling system over 4 screw one on this one. The one here gives you more options but if you need them you probably did something really wrong when mounting the wall plate. All of these are minor differences but if the bracket can be seen from certain angles with your installation Id go with Echo, otherwise Mounting Dream is a way to go.
