Review on Monoprice Fireplace Pull Down Full Motion Articulating by Kevin Abner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

That would be a great price EXCEPT

That would be a great price EXCEPT. Assembly requires your cabinet to be exactly symmetrical about the center of the chimney. I have a bobby pin right in the middle and then another 16 inches on each side. This mount requires each stud to be exactly 8" off center as they must be inserted into the studs and there is no adjustment for the mount's screws/bolts. be off-center. Most mounts give you multiple screw holes and still allow you to center your TV. It's not like this. Unfortunately I'll be back. Before you buy this, grab a stud finder and map out what's behind the wall above your robe. If your studs are 16 inches apart and symmetrical about the center of the chimney (8 inches off-center on either side) this will work well for you. Otherwise, it won't happen (unless you want your TV to be mounted somewhere other than center). Considering the weight of the mount and the strain of having the TV fall and float a foot off the wall, I wouldn't be comfortable with even the heaviest drywall anchors.
