Mounting Dream UL Listed TV Mount Bracket for Most 42-75 Inch Flat Screen TVs, Full Motion TV Wall Mounts with Swivel Articulating Dual Arms, Max VESA 600x400mm, 100 LBS Loading, Fits 16 Wood Studs, MD2296

I bought this to mount a tv in the master bedroom but unfortunately the studs are 24” on center rather than 16”. For that reason I couldn’t use it and the return date had passed. They sell extensions for it but those cost most than many mounts so I simply order another MD mount that had 32” rails. I’ll eventually buy the extensions and use this in a guest bedroom.

Not sure if it was the mount or the way my apartment complex has their studs, but the mount wasn’t wide enough. If we used this mount we would have only been able to go into one stud instead of 2. I had to return

Super easy to install, put it up on my wall in less than an hour and its made my tv viewing experience better 10 fold! Amazing for the price

I normally do not write reviews. But with product I definitely wanted to share my experience. So as far as mourning it is pretty straight forward and comes with everything you need. I would definitely suggest investing in a stud finder(even just the cheap one with a magnet that detects nails works fine). Here is where I messed up and a 100% on me. I centered the mount both vertically and horizontally on the wall. But where I messed up is I did not take into consideration the brackets where not centered on the back or my tv. This cause my tv to hang a little higher than what I would have liked(just a few inches higher than eye level). After giving it a couple of weeks it was still bothering me slightly. Here is where the product absolutely turned into a 5 star review for me. I googled the customer service number, and on the first try I actually got a real person. I described my problem, and the lady said don’t worry bout it, it actually happens quite a bit. She offered to send me some different brackets(I believe I these brackets actually come with the bigger tv mount) but since these brackets are a lil longer it allowed the tv to actually drop maybe 2-3 inches. Which is exactly what I needed and now my tv sits eye level, and I did not have to remount the wall mount, thus I did not have the re hang the mount and did not have patch any holes in the wall. The customer service rep actually send the tv brackets for me for free!! They didn’t even charge me shipping or an extra fee. The mistake was totally on me and they helped me out. So in closing a couple of things to take into consideration 1. Ensure you get a stud finder and mount it on the studs with the provided lag bolts (I used two additional heavy duty dry wall anchors in the middle just for additional support) 2. Measure twice drill once. Ensure you take into consideration how the brackets fit on the back of the tv( ie If they are centered or not. 3. What I did to help visualize the tv on the wall is to cut out a piece of cardboard the size of your tv and tape it on the wall and that will help give your your mounting height. 4. For the most part you can do this with one person, but definitely suggest two people when you lift the tv to the brackets 5. Definitely use the spacers and saftey mounting lock to keep the tv secure

perfect quality and material

Where did the 5th star go???? Wall bracket, needs to be wider. Many wall mounts these days are installed over fireplaces. Sometimes the studs are not placed 16 on center secondary to the fireplace chimney or flue, or for whatever other reason, and have to be spaced slightly wider than 16 on center. My fault for not recognizing the spacing of my studs for the intended location, but the manufactures fault for not anticipating variances in stud spacing. I could have just sent it back, but I decided that $50 for a mounting bracket was too good of a deal to pass up and was time for me to think outside the box. Well I wasnt going to give up on the location for where the TV was going to be mounted, so I had to fabricate a wall mount extension piece. I went to Home Depot, got a 36 metal bar, sawed that sucker in half, drilled several holes, mounted it to the back of the wall mount bracket with carriage bolts/ nuts/ flat & lock washers, and mounted the sucker. Because I was being cheap, and only wanted to buy one piece of steel bar as opposed to two, I had to offset the 18 bars to just one side. In doing such it left a portion of the mounts wall side bracket without a bar piece, or otherwise a void where the bar should also extend. To fill that void, I used two flat washers that (when placed together) were the same thickness as the extension bar. (I hope this is clear, and not too confusing). All I am saying, is that will a little extra time, patience, effort, and a trip to the Home Depot (or wherever sells flat steel bars), someone could fab an extension (highly not recommended secondary to safety and work involved). If you are one of those with limited experience with this, I wouldnt suggest this for safety reasons, and would just look for an accommodating wall mount for your specific application. Additionally, another ding I would hit this mount on for not having is the lack of including or having a thread locker on the multiple screws included. Remember this is a movable mount, and if its is the owners intention to move the TV around quite a bit, you might want to consider applying a liquid thread locker to the metal on metal threads before torquing the screws down (again, for safety sake). All in all not that bad. I would not recommend this mount for anyone who either does not know their stud spacing for the intended location, and/ or for for known stud spacing greater than 16 on center. If I knew that I would have to fab something like I did before I bought the bracket, there would be no way I would have bought this bracket. Do yourself a favor (measure first, dont be a dumbo like me, and be persuaded by the inexpensive nature of the item) << However, very well made from what I can tell. Wally World sell similar brackets for $149!!!! Not sure on the wall side bracket accommodations, but I would have bought that quickly if I knew that it would fit and the Mounting Dream would not. Good luck

Definitely a sturdy mount! Far better then most currently available. I had to build a custom fiberglass mount only because the area in which I mounted the tv had studs oddly 18 apart on center

I purchased this wall mount adapter and I am very happy I did. The wall mount feels very sturdy and the parts seem well made. It was very easy to install as the instructions were very clear. And there were many spare parts! As my TV does not have the standard VESA mount widths, the as-supplied extension bars did not fit. I wrote in to Mounting Dreams customer support and I received a phone call several hours later. After speaking with the customer support representative I was informed that longer extension bars were being shipped directly to me free of charge. The bars arrived several days later and I was able to mount the TV without further issue.

Great to mount our TVs. Very strong and sturdy and at a lower price than Best Buy.

Great quality, would recommend it.
