What do all of you do with the cords? Previous owner made a big hole in center between studs. Will I still be able to run cords through it or will it be blocked?

This is a very high quality, well-bulit mounting bracket......but, unfortunately it doesn't have an opening in the center of the wall mounted bracket. I also cut a hole (approx 2.5 inches diameter) in my drywall (between the studs), so that I could run my cables and wiring from the TV down between the studs, and then had them exit to the electrical socket, Dish Receiver, etc.. You can then use conduit to help hide the cables, wiring, etc, from being seen. From the start of mounting the wall mount untiul we were watching the TV set was approx 40 mins.Sorry for delay in answering your question, but I have been out-of-town !

There is an item you can buy on Amazon which attaches to the wall behind the TV. The cords are then hid behind it and you don't see the cords. One good thing is it can be painted the same color as the wall. Great product!!!

You can drop cords behind this neat little piece. All our cords are hidden. We drop down to floor and plug into wall outlets nearby.

the first production run had the piece that rubs against the wall a little bit too thin. This could be a problem if the unit is dropped. Go to studpop.com and they'll send you a new one that won't break.

At my old place, I just simply set it up without regards to studs and it didn't budge! I purchased a stud finder but I had absolutely no idea how to read the signals to know when I was between and/or near the studs. If I had to guess I would say I set it up under one beam in the ceiling based on my "guesstimation" in which was me believing the indentations in the ceiling were planks of some kind. (I hope this makes sense *_* But I recently moved and I seriously just picked a spot where I wanted it to go and reassembled it. And it again doesn't budge.

The four front center shelves all have centered openings, along with the top 2 shelves having a "v-cut" between them leading to another hole in the back. The "corner" shelves sidewalls are thick particleboard; however in the very corner, there is an inch or so vertical gap covered by a thinner backing board which could easily be drilled for cords. This unit is VERY heavy, LOL, but all in all we've been happy with it. Hope this helps.

I can't answer directly, as mine is already installed and I am at work. Seems like it would be easier to trim out portions of the edges of the panel where the stud fits if necessary. Put mine in with construction adhesive - works very well.

We also had this issue. I turned it over and drilled a couple of holes in it. Not ideal I know, but it worked for us. :)

If you have good plug wires with good shielding it's less of an issue than it used to be. Use plug wire spacers or loom to assure the wires don't touch one another.

Be careful with it! Mine is in dry wall, but it's pretty heavy duty dry wall. Try to find studs in the waall if possilbe

Easy if you have a stud finder especially one that will tell you if there are wires in the wall. Cut out the space between the studs to exact dimensions of the box then slip in and screw 4 lag bolts to studs. I predrilled holes so not to crack the studs. Before ordering make sure your studs are the right spacing for the box. Do not over tighten screws or it will distort box and make door hard to open.

Is it possible to drill a hole to allow for wire to fit through? Also is it absolutely sealed shut where wire wont go through?

I think it's a neater look having the cords running across the wall instead of sticking straight out. Also, if you have a piece of furniture right against an outlet, it makes it easier to use that outlet that would normally be blocked. In our case, we needed extra outlets b/c we only have a one in our master bath (which is ridiculous). Those are just a few reasons why the product works for us. Good Luck!

This is the real problem with having such a large center. Sounds Great but your almost forced to have it underneath your tv. You could get some sort of mount and put it above. Personally mine is below the TV and it doesnt sound as great

There are two holes on the bottom side. I used lag bolts and mounted them to 2x4 studs in the wall. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, you have to run cords/cables alongside the mount. The center piece is not wide enough to allow for cords/cables.

yes, there are 4 holes in each corner of the box. When I secured it to the wall in our office I only used screws in 2 of the holes along the right side of the box d/t where the stud was. The holes should be big enough to run a cable through them. Be warned, though, the box is VERY heavy so it may be tricky to make the box secure and not have it "wobble" against a non-flat surface. Perhaps using extra-long zip ties might work depending on the size of the post. Hope this helps. Good luck!
