If you don't care about the fact that you'll never be able to remove it again, this product definitely seems to do the job is was made for. However, it is not true that it will not do any damage to your TV shelf/tabletop, as the manufacturers claim. If you decide to use this, you better be committed as to where you'll be putting it, because you'll never be able to move the metal adhesives again (at least not without ripping the finish off any wood piece of furniture). Was a bit disappointed by this aspect, since it seemed like a bit of false advertising.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great insurance for large Flat Screens, May 21, 2009

After spending a fair amount of money for a 60" flat screen, it only makes sense to secure it to the wall. Especially if you live in earthquake country. Last thing you need to see is it ending up on it's face........If your not there to keep it from tipping over. For the price, it's great insurance. I installed these after our last quake. Pretty stupid of me standing there holding the screen from tiping over.

I opted to lag them to the studs in the wall, thus making darn sure it's not going anywhere. All the hardware is included, so use the bolts instead of the adheseive to mount to the wall. Oh and make sure the bolt is in the stud. Use a stud finder or borrow one. Makes it easier. Installing the bolt in drywall is not going to keep your screen in place.

Clean the back of your housing really well with the alcohol swabs supplied or use additional amounts out of the medicine cabinet on a rag and before securing the strap to the back, or your defeating the adhesive by not getting a secure bond. Follow the enclosed instructions and you should have no problems.

We use this as a safety device for our 20 month old twins. We didn't want the flat screen to topple over and crush them, so we purchased this strap. It is strong, sturdy, easy to attach and reliable. Worth every penny!
