Does this tv stand HAVE to be used in a corner? Is the back flat or does it come to an angle?

The back is angled. You could use it against a flat wall, the far back is flat, it doesn't come to a point. It just works in a corner because the left and right rear corners are cut off. Make sure you have an electric screwdriver if you plan to assemble this piece yourself...there are a million screws.

It's designed for a corner and that's really where you should use it. There are MANY models out there to be used flush against the wall, I suggest you get one of those. This piece is for a corner.

Yes. The mount has two hand adjustments that allow it to be tilted up or down. Make sure that you move the mount on its adjustable arms in or out to allow it to tilt down and not touch wall on the corners of the TV. My installation is nearly a perfect 45 but one side of the TV just touches the wall on one side. Other side is up against a book case. Executive summary: Corner Mount with the home made 2x4 brackets as I discussed in a prior rating, good. Flat wall mount go to go as is, with no extra stuff to be made. Yes, I would buy it again as a corner mount.

I think it is just designed for a corner and to me it would look funny against a flat wall, I have my tv on it.

The front is 48" across. The back edge is about 27" across before the notches cut angles off the back. While you can put the TV stand against a wall, and it will probably look OK, it is made for a corner. Either way, it is a good quality piece for the money.

No its not a corner type. I saw some when I was looking for this one. They are usually labeled as a cornered stand

I have a 40in TV attached to this mount and I wouldn't have it at a corner, seems like it would stick out too much. I'm sure it's doable but you may be worried about how it'll look. For corner mounts, I would probably stick with the single arm swivel mounts.

This is a standard wall cabinet. The back is flat and will fit along a flat wall perfectly, a corner would require it to be away from the wall.

It is designed to be placed flat on the wall. As the DVD stands out from the sides of it, it would be difficult to place the DVD far enough back to be secure. That is assuming that you could mount it into the corner.

I put mine in a corner of the room and there is plenty of swivel room. If concerned about it simply don't place the stand so close to the wall. Physical Size of the TV will effect this factor also.

Although not specifically designed for corner mounting - IMHO it provides enough articulation to be mounted on walls immediately adjacent to the corner provided that the screen isn't larger than 55". At larger than 55" you start to have to position the tv further and further out from the mount so that the tv does not touch the adjacent walls (I'm assuming that the viewing angle of the tv is straight out from the corner). While you CAN mount up to 65" and 130lbs with this mount, just be sure to use stronger mounting bolts than the ones identified by others in this product review.

As long as you mount to a wall stud coming out of either side of the corner you should be fine, but you will limit the swivel range depending on the width of your TV and what stud you mount it to e.g. how close to the corner you mount. You can swivel 180 degrees left to right from the center point and also swivel 180 degrees from the backplate which should give you a nice range of direction. It's a solid well built mount.

I also wanted to mount this unit as close to the corner as possible. The swivel arm design allowed me to mount the base to the wall and move the 46" TV to appear as though it was mounted in the corner. Because the base is flat it needs to be mounted to a very solid surface if you want to position the TV close to the corner because that puts all the weight of the TV the maximum distance away from the base and there is a tremendous force placed on the mounting base in that configuration. You may also be limited, as I was, by wall stud locations if you're mounting to a frame wall. I was able to find studs pretty close to where they needed to be but since they weren't in the perfect location, my TV barely covers the visibility of the mounting base - but it does work.

No. I have not mounted this in a corner, the device is flat in the back. I don't think this will work well in a corner.

It only attaches on flat wall but you can move the tv to the corner if you set the mount nearby the corner.

It's flat across the back. We don't have it in a corner. We are very pleased with the look of the cabinet(s). We bought a matching pair.

You have to mount to the side of the corner, but it will work depending on how big the TV is

Yes, I stand it against a wall when not in use. It's mostly quarter inch or so angle.
