NOT SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION ABOVE THE TV

This is a good product if you are planning to install something small UNDER OR IN FRONT OF THE TV BUT NOT SUITABLE FOR MOUNTING ABOVE! First you need to attach it to the wall very tightly so that it is strong. But what I really don't like is that there are 2 holes drilled in the glass through which you can put the 2 included black screws that attach the glass to the metal frame that holds the shelf. After sliding the screws through the tabs in the glass and then the metal, the shelf can be secured by threading the nuts onto the screws indicated. . Once the glass was attached to the frame, I quickly found that the back edge of the glass shelf was snug against the wall to which it was attached. This is not good if you are planning to use this shelf for a cable box installed ABOVE the TV as there is no way to route the cables behind the shelf. I even tried using spacers when I mounted it on the wall, but the shelf just wasn't strong when I mounted it that way. In addition, this shelf is more suitable for small parts than a cable box. Our cable box was 13.5" wide and 9.25" deep (no cables attached). Once the coax and HDMI cables were plugged into the back of the unit, they dangled a few inches off the front edge of the shelf - more than I would have liked. TV/monitor. If you are planning to install this above your TV just note, that the shelf is not designed so that cables run behind the shelf to the TV below. Too bad too - everyone improving on this design would require them to drill two holes in the glass that are half an inch closer to the back edge of the shelf. This means there is half an inch of space between the wall and the back edge of the shelf - enough room to easily route the HDMI coax cable through. A small change that I think will make the design better and more comfortable. that there is half an inch between the wall and the back edge of the shelf - enough room to easily route the HDMI coaxial cable.
