Has anyone used this with a 55" TV? The TV would be hanging on the wall above it, but I'm afraid it will look disproportionate to the fireplace.

I have a 42 inch tv on the stand itself, and there is about 6-7 inches on either side. I actually think the TV looks a bit small on the stand. I think that if you use a 55 inch it may be just slightly larger if not the same length of the TV stand. It may look a little large, unless you would be willing to settle for a 50 inch, which is likely a good balance between my 42 inch and your 55 inch (unless you have already purchased it!). Thanks.

My mount was cheap all around. I tried hanging a 70" sharp over fireplace and as soon as I put it on mount, they bent allowing tv to sag. Learned the hard way not to skimp on the mount.

It should be fine, if not just mount a small piece of plywood on the wall and then mount the wall mount to that, use lag bolts if you have to go that route. Thats what I did and my 55 inch is holding just fine

I have my 60 inch TV in the corner and works great. The stand isn't wedge shaped so it does stand out from the wall somewhat. With a 60 inch TV everything is about as far back as it can go anyway.

No, I don't think it would work all that well for a 55 inch tv. We have a 46 inch and it fits with about 2 inches on both sides extra. You could do a bigger TV, but it would hang off the edge

I have a 50 inch that hangs over it. 55 would probably be too big. This is not a real wood console. It is pressed wood with a veneer over it. It also doesn't have very good airflow where the components sit. We have a playstation inside the glass area and it gets really hot in there. I will likely have to drill some extra vent holes to let it ventilate better.

I don't think so. Our depth was 23" from the back of the opening above the fireplace to the front. We wanted the TV like you want yours. This one gave only a couple extra inches which made it a little diffucult to screw the bolts onto the back of the TV. There wasn't a lot of wiggle room (as some would put it) to work with outside of the opening. Hope you find one that does work for you.

I'd recommend a larger TV console/stand if your space can accommodate it. 55 inches will overhang quite a bit.

My TV is 46" and I use the screws that were include in the wall mount and have no problem with it. It has been over six months with no problems.

I would put it somewhere in between 15 and 25 degrees. If you have a wall slopping at 45 degrees, you would still have the TV pointing 25 degrees to the floor. I would build a wood frame out of 2x6 lumber to line up with the studs in the wall and the holes in the TV mount. You would bring the bottom of the wood frame out about 10 or 11 inches. Use wood screws incase i'm wrong so you can rework it if necessary.Good luck

I had to return mine. I had bought this to hang in my basement that has a short ceiling. The TV was going to have to sit too low to hang above my fireplace mantel. The top of the TV was going to be at about 19" from the ceiling. I ended up having to buy a TV bracket that hangs on the wall. I bought my wall bracket from Walmart Online for $25. I loved it so much that I bought one for every TV in my house. Only on Walmarts website were they this cheap, not in store. Hope this helps!!

My 55" fits end to end. I would not want to sit the TV on the stand. It looks good with the TV floating a few inches above the stand. I love the unit. Good quality and excellent for storage.

Yes; i've got 55 inch TV and proprotionally this looks the best. But it will definitely handle a 60 in TV, no problem. I subsequently decided to mount my TV for maximum flexibility of viewing for my situation, but the TV looked and worked fabulously on the furniture and was the perfect height.

I have a 55' Vizio. It probably could swing to 90* if the TV wasn't so wide. In other words the arm doesn't extend far enough to make the 90 with a 55' TV. Fully extended from the wall to the back of the TV is about 20 inches. I can get about 65*. You can adjust the mounts on the back of the TV to be off center which adds about 6" and could be enough. I tried it out of curiosity. It gives me about 80*. Be happy to send pics if I new how.

I think it's a matter of opinion. A 55' "could" overhang a little, or it could come right to the edge, but it depends on the TVs actual width. My 44' fits with plenty of room to spare.Personally I wouldn't hesitate to upgrade to a 55' if it was within my budget, and place it on this exact stand.

I thought about it, then I moved my TV over so I could line it up with the stud. There is just too much weight on this, even empty, for it to be trusted hanging from just anchor bolts in dry wall. I would avoid it if you can.

I think you would be ok. Your 55" is within range. Just depends on the weight of your flat screen. But only a difference of about 12 lbs vs your 46". Just make sure you have available studs to fasten to. You don't have a lot of leeway to one side or the other if you need to center the tv after fastening to the wall. Hope that helps some.
