These mounts shipped promptly and arrived earlier than promised.

Their construction quality was average for what one might expect for plastic speaker mounts. I bought these two mounts to go with a 5 pack of SANUS speaker mounts to complete my 7.1 install. They are definitely a step down from the SANUS model in terms of construction quality and design. But are fully functional and look fairly similar once they are installed; however, if you are very discerning about things like exposed mounting or adjustment screw heads, you may want to consider individual SANUS models.

The install was the most frustrating thing for me...by comparison, the SANUS mounts were a dream. The proper hardware was not included for my speakers (which are nothing exotic). The had screws that were threaded properly, but they were too long. They had spacers, but alas, they were too small for those screws. I overcame that issue by modifying the too small spacer with some diagonal cutters the making it fit. My next issue came when I found that the mounting screws that were provided were too large for the anchors that were provided...the result, anchors that spin in their hole. I solved this issue by running the screw in and out of the anchor while off the wall to break it in, and then holding the anchor with a pair of pliers while screwing in the mounting screw. This was more difficult than it should have been, but eventually I got them up and secure.

Once there were up, they are fine for my needs. I just wish I didn't have the frustrating install.

These are great mounts that come with plenty of hardware to set them up how ever you wish. The have an unlimited range of motion and are very sturdy and very clean looking. Highly Recommend.

Install took way too long. The actual mounts are decent, but the instructions are a single page not very detailed, and a little confusing. Got them up, but what a hassle.

These mounts work well, theyre omni directional and they have several configuration options, but the directions are none existent and they come with a lot of extra pieces that you dont actually need (this can lead to confusion). The arm can be taken apart and adjusted to 2 different sizes which is nice. All in all these are a decent pair or basic speaker wall mounts.

Unlike what you see in stores, these units come in a lot of pieces with multiple types of screws and adapters. This would be great if what they sent actually fit all types of speakers. I found screws included that matched the thread on the speakers, but they were too long. The included plastic washer (of which there was only one per speaker) was too small. I had to take the unit to the hardware store and find my own plastic washer that allowed me to properly connect the device to the speakers. Other than that, these mounts do what they promise and at a cheap price. Also note that my speakers are very small, probably just a pound or two, so I can't comment on the weight issue on these. I'm not about to pull on one to see if it gives.

These mounts were quite disappointing. They claim to hold speakers up to 8 pounds. Our speakers are less than 7 pounds. Yet the mounts don't hold their position -- even when we tighten the screws down so much they're cutting channels in the plastic, the mounts droop. We had to resort to an additional support in the wall to hold the speakers up. Other options might have been to use plastic glue, or maybe drive a metal pin through the joints to hold them in place. But you'll probably have to jury-rig something, because the mounts themselves just don't hold up.

Bracket was great. Installation was difficult. The wall anchors that come with the brackets are not good. After drilling hole to specified size, I put anchor in, then attempted to screw in the bracket. The anchor would not expand and grab the sheet rock, so it just spun around and around. Had to use other anchors.

These were very versatile mounts and come with a variety of hardware for different mounting options. They are solid black plastic and overall pretty sturdy although they could be a little bit stronger. They do not come with instructions and you need to get creative at times. Overall good value for the money and easy to work with.

These brackets are just as good and easier to installed as a set I had purchase a few years ago that cost three time as much as these.

Work great!! Best price. I bought total of 8 for my 7.1 system (2 for center)
