Must install with at least two people, but it works great! Can be a little heavy with the 65” for my wife. The color change handle already saved us. The viewing angle is SO MUCH BETTER.

My husband and I love this TV mount. We bought a new Sonos soundbar and it fits perfectly. Pulling the TV down when we watch TV in the evenings is so nice because it’s at eye level and we don’t have to be looking up over the fireplace anymore. Installation was a little time consuming & tricky for us but once it was done, it worked perfectly! Friends who have seen this love it! We recommend it highly!

The mount was wonderful. It’s super easy to install. The video guide is helpful, but sometimes he jumps over items I feel may be important. I installed it on a 55” LG OLED ThinQ smart TV.

Love my Mantle Mount. I had my TV mounted to high and was starting to have neck issue. The 815 was the answer.

The concept and product is very good. I wish it could lower another 6 to 8 inches. A panel to cover the central metal parts would be nice!

Nice mount. Fun to show off to visitors. Not an easy install even for my skillset in maintenance and construction. Directions are good though.

Simple and easy to use.

I purchased this mount a few months ago, and since getting it installed and using it, I love everything about it. My back patio TV is mounted over the fireplace mantel, so it sits really high. I was looking for a mount that would pull out and over the mantel, and slide down for easier TV viewing. This mantel does all of that and more. If you are looking for a versatile TV mount, I highly recommend this one. It is pricey, but worth every penny in my opinion.

We don't have a fireplace mantle, but had our TV mounted quite high to clear a bookshelf underneath. This is the PERFECT mount to bring the TV to eye level when we're watching. No more cramping necks from looking up for a long show!

Perfect solution for #tvtoohigh. High quality construction. Product exceeded expectations. Written instructions are a bit confusing and put steps in an order that make them difficult to execute. Suggest watching video first.

I purchased this as part of a living room renovation project. Refacing the fireplace, built-ins, and out with the old bulky entertainment center. This mantel mount MM540 made it possible to relocate the TV above our new custom mantel, which really opened up our living room space and allowed for rearranging furniture. Pros: -Very durable construction, high quality materials. -Good descend distance (27” I believe) -Gas assisted lowering arm makes raising and lowering fairly simple. Even with our heavy, ancient Panasonic Viera plasma screen. -Well written instructions -Clean looking install Cons: -Soundbar attachment to the ears was not very straight forward. -Installation difficulty. While I don’t blame the manufacturer for this, I am including for awareness. Thus, I’m still giving it 5 stars because of how pleased I am with the final product. This install is not for the faint of heart. Take the time to calculate placement if you plan to tackle yourself. The instructions are very helpful with this. I opted for a third party in wall media box as well, which complicated the positioning. Mantel height, mantel depth, and wall space all factor in to where you need to mount the wall brackets. So take your time and plan. Hire a pro if you’re not comfortable.

Great product and easy to install.

This is an amazing product and so well engineered and built.

Awesome product so far! Works seamlessly to lower our TV to a reasonable viewing height and raise it back above the mantel and out of the way when we're not watching TV. Very glad we went with the recess box and professional installation.

Installed above fireplace. . . the recess box allows minimal distance from the wall.

Works as advertised

I love being able to watch tv at eye level and no longer looking up. Could use better directions on mounting the soundbar to the tv mount.

The instructor wanted a wall-mounted TV, AND wanted to preserve access to a blackboard. The MM700A allowed us to do both: install a 75", flat panel TV at the front of the classroom, PLUS retain almost full use of the pre-existing blackboard! Exactly the product we needed!

Love how sturdy and safe it feels when operating the mount. It’s awesome to be able to lower the level for watching.

High quality equipment!
