When hanging on the wall, does it require two studs, or will one stud in the center work?

I would have to say two. Especially if you fill it up with DVDs. Mine is full with DVDs and is extremely heavy.

It is designed to extend only across 2 studs of standard 18" on center width. This is plenty for its weight rating. The problem comes in when centering on a wall. Often, especially when centering over a mantel, one stud is at or near the center of the wall, leaving one half of the mount unsecured. However, if the other side is secured to a stud then toggle bolts will be sufficient on the other side to resist torque.

I don't see a way to make that work with the way the mount is designed. You'll need to mount to two studs.

We attached it with four screws directly into the wall. There are two holes on each vertical support. In order for us to center it, we didn't screw into studs, but it's not heavy, and we don't put heavy things on it.

Absolutely. Only one stud is needed to mount, as the bracket runs vertical.

It comes with two screws that you use. I hung ours in the garge and just screwed them into a stud. If I wasn't using a stud, I would use anchors on the screws.

This has to attached to a stud- it's too heavy for drywall and anchors. I hope this helps.

You have to use a stud as the metal bars that hold this up and mount to the wall are heavy. Without it being mounted to a stud it would just fall out.

The hanging bracket system is different. It is a separate piece that you line up on the studs, then the until slides down on top of it.

Yes. Notice the picture, the horizontal frame is the backing which attaches to the wall and there are plenty of holes in it to correspond to your stud locations. The two vertical pieces attach to the TV, and you just hang the TV on the horizontal frame attached to the wall. Two man operation at the end though to hang the TV.

I did use one to hang a two bulb light but had a problem keeping the fixture from swinging,when I addeda second hanger it was perfect balance....personally I would always use two..

I put two on one wall with some space between each. I also anchored them to the wall. It comes with anchors

The way mine lined up only coincided with one stud, so I used a heavy duty toggle bolt on the other side (into 1/2 drywall). No problems on my 46".

My husband used a screwdriver and hammer to put it together. To hang it on the wall (it's heavy) you will need screws or togglebolts. If you can hit the studs in the wall, screws will work, if not something heavier will have to be used. Home Depot or Lowes can help you with that.

I'm not sure what you mean? You will need to hang it wherever you can find a stud. I would not attempt to just hang it anywhere. It is very heavy.

It takes two screws to mount. If your're not going into a stud it would be good to use moly's with the screws. I honestly can't remember if they came with it but I'm inclined to say it didn't.

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall. The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.
