There are two important metrics to look at when considering purchasing any product--the service quality given by the company and the quality of the product. After talking with customer service for Cheetah Mounts a few times, I can't stress enough what a great experience it was. Initially, my Cheetah Mounts Shelf was shipped with some missing parts, which while unfortunate can happen from time to time. I was able to resolve the issue with them easily. They were friendly and quite helpful on the phone. It's nice to see a friendly face behind a company once in a while. So, I would certainly be willing to do business with them again.

As for the product, I like it, but it has a couple of design flaws which prevent me from keeping it installed. These flaws may be minor depending on your setup, or may not affect you at all. The biggest design issue is the size of the shelves. Although the shelf size is 13 3/4 " deep x 17 1/2 " wide, because of the way the shelf sits against the curved shelf plate, the actual usable depth is 12 ". This is smaller than most A/V components. A TiVo, for example is 12 1/2 " deep. A typical surround sound receiver is over 13 " deep. So, the only component that I have that will fit comfortably no it is my PS3, which is just over 11 " deep. This is a shame, because it really is a nice looking wall rack. If you only have components that will fit in the 12 " depth available you will undoubtedly enjoy this product.

My other minor quibble is with the wall plate which holds everything up. It has a screw hole in each corner, but it would be nice if it had one in the center as well. This is because on a typical drywall installation the wall stud will be directly in the middle of the plate (assuming it is centered on your TV which is usually centered on a stud) and your screws will end up passing to either side of the stud. While there is nothing wrong with a drywall only install it would have made me feel much more comfortable if I could have an additional screw directly into a stud.

To sum of my feelings about this product, I like it. It looks nice installed and the build quality is good, it just isn't usable for me.

this was fairly easy to put together (read the directions) and then install. it does serve its purpose well. one of the plastic pieces came broken but it didn't prevent it being put together and can't be seen once installed. what i really like is that the shelves were deep enough from the wall to fit our cable set-top-box and also our other component. (they hung off the edge of our previous shelf)

I installed this next to a wall mounted 55" plasma tv and am thrilled with it's looks and quality. It is very heavy duty and well engineered, easy to assemble and mount, with no screws exposed. Mounting it directly next to the tv completely hid all the cables and wires from view and it really makes the room look great.

This is really a nice addition to my kids' room. He has two video game consoles on it, mounted below his TV. I put a double duplex receptacle and relocated his cable outlet to a position behind his TV and now EVERYTHING is hidden -- it looks great! Mount was easy to assemble and install - I mounted it on a stud because the TV mount is a swivel and was central stud mounted as well. There ARE holes in the center of the mount plate for a central stud installation (at least there was in my kit).

I purchased this to hold a projector and an amp. I like products that do their job, and don't require me to think about them anymore. This is one of those products. Clean, sturdy, to the point.

Instructions we're really good ones. They basically give you two steps to put everything together, but it wasn't that hard to figure out. Very sturdy

We ordered this unit because we wanted our componets out of the way and not on a stand or table. We selected this unit for function but were surprised when it arrived that it was also very well designed and looks great! There are several pieces but the insturctions are clear as to assembly. The shelves are sturdy and the cable management system consists of a couple holes behind the shelves and a track behind the mounting plate. Never the less, it works well to contain and keep the cords organized. We are very pleased with this unit and would recommend it.

I am stunned by the other reviews that liked this product. Makes me wonder if we got the same thing??? I found this product to be completely unuseable and a waste of $60. Upon unpacking, the film used to protect the glass was fused to the glass and could not be removed even with a solvent. Assembly was impossible, as the rods used to hold it together were not correctly threaded. Additionally, the overall design was really poor and made for a very unstable shelf. Please think twice before ordering this product.

It was a great price but the picture showed a black mount and when i received it, it was silver. I was not happy but kept it not to go through the whole return procedure.

Amazing product, easy to install and it looks very good. The shelfs are wider than most other units,and they have the capacity to hold any accessory you would like to use.
