Very solid mount but a bit difficult to assemble as the wall plate and articulating arm are very heavy. It came with a 10ft HDMI cable which was a nice touch. It doesn't spread as far as I'd hoped, but it gets the job done. I broke one of the anchor bolts by turning them into wooden bolts and yes I pre-drilled it with the recommended bit, luckily it had 6 in it. I would have liked a thicker anchor bolt. If your TV is light (mine is 37 pounds) this might be a bit difficult to articulate. If the TV was heavier it would probably be easier. But the mount is very strong and doesn't sag even when fully extended. I couldn't center the plate on the wall due to my stud configuration so I had to move the TV sideways to keep it centered on the wall but it still holds up well. Cable management is good, it's a little tight but for the amount I'll be moving it should be fine. For the time I will be using it articulately (not very much) it was worth the money and I would buy it again. If I was planning to say this more often and your TV is bright, you might want to consider other options.
