The product itself is very good and I am VERY happy with the flexibility it offers to move/pivot the TV around. The two issues I had regard installation. I mounted mine into a brick wall fireplace and bought mason anchor bolts with sleeves from Lowe's, only lag bolts for stud mounting come with the kit. However once I got the TV on the mounting plate, the anchor sleeves started slipping out. To solve this I bought a tube of Loc-tite industrial adhesive, the kind you need a caulk gun for (about $7). Filled the anchor holes with it, put the sleeves/bolts/plate back on and let it set for 24hrs - no issues with slippage after that. The other issue is getting the tv bracket on the mounting plate. I have a 46" lcd tv and it was definitely a three man job. Part of this may have been due to moutning it in a corner, so the arm had to be bent 90 degrees. It looks easy to get the arm on the plate, but once the TV is attached its pretty difficult. Again maybe this is easier if the arm is straight. All in all though it is a great mount. Great flexibility for viewing options.

This product was easy to install and holds my 42" LCD quite well. Easy to move and change positions.

I would recommend this mount to anyone buying a larger LCD. It tilts up/down, swivels left/right, and can pull away from the way effortlessly! I have mine set-up in my great room and this unit works great as when you are watching from the couch, you can tilt it down and when you are across the room in the kitchen or bar area, you can pull it out, swivel it to the left, and tilt it back... so you can see it from anywhere you might be in the room! It does stick out from the wall about 4-5 inches when fully pushed in, but that can be expected if you want the swivel and extension features. I was leary of the included mounting bolts so I invest in some harden ones from the local hardware store. It pays to shop around as this unit was almost $200 cheaper at Amazon (plus shipped for free!!)as compared to BB and CC.
