Not what I expected. TV accessories

I bought this stand specifically because it allows you to tilt your TV forward. While the instructions are clear and most of the build is solid, my first disappointment was that the required assembly tools were not included (particularly a 10mm spanner). After following the instructions and setting up the stand, I got down to business. "Hang" the TV on an inclined stand. For this part of the assembly, the manufacturer supplied two mounting screws, two washers, and two plastic "bolts". Despite trying repeatedly, I could not get the plastic studs to tighten the mounting screws. Without them, the TV fell forward as far as the stand would allow. An epic failing of the very feature that made me purchase this stand. I rummaged around and found two steel bolts that would match the screws that came with it. Once tightened, the TV stand will hold the TV at the correct angle. My TV fits well within the stand's size and weight limitations. However, this stand is not stable enough to withstand frequent tilt or angle adjustments. IMHO the manufacturer needs to reconsider the mechanism for attaching the tilt feature. The delivery of the necessary assembly tools is what most consumers expect.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Nothing included
