I bought the ladder stand and I love it. My only question is do you suppose to nail it to the wall before putting your tv on it

I actually never did screw it into the wall even though it does suggest it. Personally I've had it for nearly 2yrs now & I had no issues with it tipping over, etc... its pretty sturdy & i have a ton of DVDs packed in there as well as other electronic devices. Personally I dont think its necessary at all.

I too, love this stand and did not nail it to the wall and it manages to be sturdy enough to hold tv, video games, game conrollers, remotes, cable boxes without tipping over. I think nailing is optional.

No.. i didn't nail minds to the wall.. it sits just fine with my 50 inch tv on it..

The TV mounts to the wall by positioning the "claws" attached to the TV over the rails attached to the wall. If you peer along the back between the TV and wall (a small space I know), you will find a small gap along the top of the "claws" where you can slide in this rod. It presence prevents the claws from lifting away from the rails until it is removed. It takes a little effort to align the rod so that it hits the second gap of the next claw as it moves along the full width of the TV, but I did not find it too difficult.

You could probably answer the question yourself by considering what your ceiling is. For example, most ceilings are floors for the next story or attic. Obviously, if people can walk on the "top" of your ceiling, you can easily hang a TV from the "bottom" of it without concern. So, provided you are attaching the mount NOT just to the sheet rock, but to a structural member (2x4, 2x6, or 2x8) that allows people to walk on top of the other side of the ceiling without falling through, you will be fine.

We have ours on a stand. The TV is surprisingly light and I see no reason why it couldn't be hung on a wall using a wall mount bracket.

That is correct, you need to put the foot in the mount in the up position and locate the position for the mount. That way you can have it so you can leave the foot on one or the other side when using it on level ground. Sometime one of the ladder rungs decides where you will put it.

To answer your other question, and based solely on my extensive reading, people usually mount it BELOW the screen (either actually hooked to the bottom of the screen or right below the tv if wall-mounted, or just in front of the tv if on a stand, which is what I will be having).

I love the piece but I don't have a TV on top. Cannot imagine it sagging however unless you loaded a lot of stuff up there. Keep it simple.

Tv works great with just the mount, now if you have kids that play dodge ball in the house, I'd suggest mounting it to the wall. :) but all jokes aside, it works perfect with the mounting system as is, no need for the wall mount, unless u want it up higher than what the stand will offer. Hope that helps.

Hi Kenneth, I did not personally instal the ladder but it is super easy to take the step portion off once the two permanent pieces are put in the surface, in our case a wooden dock. So, look at the hardware and see if they make sense given one hooks into the other. Anyway, sorry if this doesn't help, but it is worth the aggravation if you plan on taking the ladder portion off part of the year.

Yes this is made to stand the tv without drilling holes in your walls. You have the option to set the tv on a shelf or drill holes on the wall. This one is solid & heavy duty no reason to worry the tv will not tip over.

No. You need not mount anything on wall. The stand gives provisions for mounting.

I wall mounted the TV because when it sat on the stand it was hard to level. I must say I love the TV wall mounted with the stand mounted under. Very nice clean look. I think you would like it that way as well.

this stand had everything it needed for assembly. The screws that you will use to mount the TV to the bracket should already be in the back of your TV.

We purchased this stand earlier this year. We did not attach the stand to the wall. We put a 70" tv on the stand. Very stable and no problems at all. We have been very pleased with the stand and have had no problems at all.

That is how we installed our's. Put a nice stained board up for stability & put the mount on it. When we fold the TV up to the ceiling we attatch a bungie cord across it incase we hit a hard bump just to be sure the clame doen not bounce loose. Seems to work great.

Purchase an inexpensive HDMI cable from Amazon. TV is ready to go out of the box. I used the included stand for about a week and then when I got around to it, I mounted it on the wall. Wall mount should be very strong and perfectly level. Otherwise the size of the TV will show even the slightest amount of deflection.
