Based on the info about the product - that it would accommodate 15" to 40" flat panel TVs, and was compatible with both VESA 100 and VESA 200 mounting hole arrangement on the TV - I purchased this for a Vizio 37" LCD with VESA 100 mounting holes. It is very sturdy and rated for a maximum load of 130 lbs while my TV was less than 40 pounds. It certainly inspires confidence that your TV will be securely mounted as you pull it forward, angle it from side to side, and push it back.

I read through the instructions and saw the adjustments available on the post with mounting plate for TVs of different heights. Unfortunately, not until I had drilled and mounted the shelf on my cabinet did I realize that the holes on the back of my TV were not centered vertically on the TV, but were closer to the top. This meant that there was much more of the TV below the holes. I needed 13.5" from the lowest hole on the TV to the base of the TV. When the post with mounting plate on the pull out shelf was adjusted for the maximum height, it allowed only 12' inches from the lowest hole on the mounting plate to the base where the TV would be mounted. Therefore, the product was unusable as is for my TV.

Fortunately, the Sanus customer service people, while verifying that there was no way to raise the mounting post higher, did work with me on the phone to find another adjustable mounting bracket Sanus MT25-B1 Tilting Wall Mount for 26" to 42" Displays which would attach to the mounting post of the pull out shelf. Of course that was another $45 on Amazon, but it did allow me to mount the TV with no further difficulty.

Bottom line, try to get some idea if you will be able to successfully mount your TV to this well made and thoroughly useful product before ordering it. You might need some other adapter if your TV is approaching the 40" limit for this pull out shelf.

I purchased this mount for my 5th wheel. We replaced the old TV with a new flat screen. The TV sits in an enclosed opening that has thin sides and back. The bottom shelve was the only sturdy side in the opening. This slide out mount works great because it is anchored on the solid bottom. The TV is attached with a regular back mount. The slide out allows us to have the TV forward while watching and then slid back into the opening when we travel. It allows the TV to rotate in the opening for ease in making the connections to the back of the TV. There was no stop on the swivel post to keep it from turning while we are traveling, so I had to make a couple of stops for each side of the TV to keep it from swiveling. These have to be removed to slide the unit forward for watching TV. Other than not having a swivel stop, I am completely satisfied with the mount. It was easy to install. The install instructions could have been better, but I got by ok.
