I have a 32'' deep cabinet over the fireplace. I want to mount a 55'' TV with its back flushing with the niche edge, will this mount fit my needs?

Would need more info about exactly how you are trying to mount it before giving you a thumbs up or down.

The bracket extends out to 33" from the collapsed position. You can stop the bracket at any measurement you desire up to 33". They have a mechanical drawing with all the measurements

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.

Hi, this is really heavy duty mount. My television is a 42" and there was absolutely no resistance on the mounting unit (by way of analogy, my television is like a single can on a kitchen cabinet shelf, there is absolutely NO stress). In my opinion, I do not think you will experience any issues by using this unti to mount your 55" television. I hope this helps.

Probably, but first, look on the back of your TV to see if there are (4) threaded holes. Any TV that you can hang on the wall will have these (and since it's only 5 years old I'm sure the holes are there). Second, make sure the size your TV matches the capacity of this bracket. I mounted a 55" TV that was probably about 4 years old (and heavy)...the bracket worked just fine.

These can be mounted to the back of the cabinet, rather than the sides, and are very sturdy once installed. I think you should therefore have enough clearance. Why don't you order one. It comes fully assembled, so you will be able to know immediately if it works. It's Amazon; you can always return it if it doesn't work. I love mine. I used them in every cabinet.

The manufacturer says 32" to 47". I would take their word for it. Personally, I would think this mount would be over-kill for your tv. I am not sure but using the all the full functions may result in the tv not hiding part of the mount.

Doubt it would match up with mounting holes on tv. Plus is really a mount for small light weight tvs. I use them for 19" to 32" only. I would recommend also that you use something with a bigger wall mounting plate. 2 screws to mount a 55 - 65 tv would make me nervous

Cal - We hung a 59 inch Samsung (54" wide) and the mount handles it with no problem. It is a two person job to get it hung and make sure your wall studs are 16 inches OC.

The cabinet front is 42 inches. A 47 inch TV will fitside to side almost perfectly. A 50-inch will overhang by a little.

The manufacturer states that this mount fits most televisions up to 55". The brackets will fit the television but I would certainly want to secure the bracket to the wall. It would be the weight of the television pulling on the bracket that would be of most concern. Good luck.

No.........old school TV's are too deep for this cabinet. Even flat screens at 32 inches would be too wide. Ours holds a bottles water dispenser on the top and liquor bottles in the bottom. hope this helps. We love ours!

I think it will fit just fine - might look a little funny though because it would be very low for such a wide screen - but I tend to prefer to have my tv a bit higher than other people - my 46" is on a shelf that is at least 1 foot higher than the fireplace. However, I would worry more about stability in terms of the fireplace moving! Mine moves very smoothly & easily on its casters, so a little jolt may send your tv to the floor!

In my basement my 42" tv is mounted by just screwing the base plate into the studs. But my main TV is 80" and above the fireplace mantle so I did as you just suggested and put in 2x4 cross pieces across 4 studs and then mounted the baseplate to that. It worked great and with the large tv you don't see the cross pieces

The cabinet is pretty tall and narrow. I think the width of a 55" TV would look strange sitting on top.

I have a 50" and it spans the width nicely. If you pull it "out" from the corner, the substantiality of the cabinet should handle the weight but it will overhang it. I would say no for looks, but it is you call. It is fantastic otherwise.

I have a 50" on it right now and it's perfect. It has an inch or two on each side before it "hangs" over the tops edge. I don't see why a 55" tv wouldn't work though. Seems like it's be fine.

Yes I can confirm this. Although the wall studs in my house are 16" there was a stud slightly right of center so to mount my 47" tv and have it centered on the wall over the fireplace required a plate that was wider than the standard size. This worked as the wall plate is over 24" wide with the last set of holes on 24" centers. Have had the TV mounted for over 2 years and no problems

In my opinion a 55 inch TV would be too big, it would overhang on the sides. I have a 46 incher and it is even with the stand on the sides.
