I have a larger 42" TV that is around 60 lbs. Anyone using this at it's max weight recommendation wth success? Thanks!

If your stand or base is less than 23 3/4 inches wide, I think you will be OK.

my 42" is not heavy, but the base it is very steady and strong, if the specifications supports that weight I think it will be ok....

I have been using it for a Sony 42" flat screen TV for almost a year now and I have no problem with it. I would be extra careful around young kids though.

I'm not sure of it's weight, but my TV is a 54", its base is 17.5"X15" and it works well on the 32"X15" platform.

I used it with my Samsung fifty-eight inch plasma just fit and was right at the 138 lbs. remember to calculate your tv net weight without the factory base. Any tv over fifty-eight inch may have a problem fitting, I had a half an inch clearance above the base.

I had a Panasonic 50" TV on it for about 6 months with no issue. TC-P50ST30 weighs about 70lbs.

I do not know how the weight limit of 135lb was established. Basic physics, the force on the mount increases as the TV is extended from the wall. If the maximum spec is with the TV against the wall (minimum extension), the max spec weight decreases as you move the weight out from the wall. So, if you are using it against the wall, it may work for you. If you are going to use it extended, I'd spend the extra dollar on a more substantial mount.

Greetings C.S., I wasn't exactly sure therefore I decided to give a brief experiment to successfully answer your question. I myself am a 32 year old male (5'11" 190 pounds in stature) and after sitting on the TV stand (our TV is wall-mounted above it), the TV stand did not even budge, creek or show signs of weight stress. I would imagine this stand could hold any size TV with ease without damage or breaking. Obviously you cannot go jumbo-size on the TV since it totals precisely 46 5/8 in width, so measure your existing or new TV's width to ensure it fits property. I hope this helps.

I have a 55 inch lcd that it holds easily. My tv is about 50 pounds and no problems.

I do not have the literature any longer but I am more than confident that it would hold a 32" TV. We have never had any problems with ours which is a 22. If I recall correctly, it holds up to like 40 pounds.M Welch

I installed a new Samsung 75" LED TV (73 lbs) with this mount with no problem and also mounted an older 50" that weighs more. I can't remember the exact weight of the older TV, but I thought is was tipping the scales at around 90 lb. I admit that this mount isn't as beefy as some (it's low profile after all), but it's solid with the two TVs I used it on. It's rated at 165 lb, so I think you have plenty of margin even though I wouldn't be comfortable at 165 lbs.

I have a 60' TV on it, it will hold a lot more than that, my guess would be 50 or 60 lbs. I love mine...........

I mounted it with the top shelf on the bottom and the bottom shelf on the top, so the swivel stuff (which I think would be difficult to remove) hangs harmlessly from the bottom of the top shelf, out of sight and out of mind. The unit is rock solid that way. I have a 50" flat screen on it (although well below the 60 pound weight limit) and it's very solid and not in danger of going anywhere. I probably wouldn't exceed 60 pounds (depending on how the load is distributed - if near the corners it would probably handle quite a bit more) but the unit is more than solid enough for a large TV.

I'm still tempted to try with a Samsung 46 inch (LN46a650). The weight distribution comment frankly sounds bogus to me, and my choices for the corner mount challenge I have are frankly dwindling to this mount or getting a smaller set. Did you finally proceed?

Weight shouldn't be a problem. The TV max weight is listed as 130 lbs. If I recall the listed max size was 50". My use was under those so I can't say. You could always email Sanus.

I have a 46" LED LCD TV which doesn't weigh more than 35 lbs if even that much. If your tV doesn't weigh much, that is a call you'll have to make. However, the mount itself wasn't more than $70, so it might be worth a try and if it doesn't work, you're not out a lot of money. The first flat wall mount I bought was $300. Good luck.

I am eagerly waiting to hear about your experience with this mount. (I am also considering using it for a 42" Panasonic -stated weight 45.2lbs.) I have another articulating mount, a very expensive one, but it is seriously heavy--almost as heavy as the TV! And since I am mounting to the outside of a cabinet, I would prefer to keep the total weight down. Amazon states that the weight of this product is 2.5 pounds; is this correct? (The mount I have weighs 38 lbs.) I would also be interested to know how far the mount "sticks out" from the wall when it is fully folded back. Thanks.

My tv is 50" and heavy and it holds it like a champ. I think 42" would fit even better, as my tv is very heavy and the back bends a little so it's tilted VERY slightly. But it's a great stand and you literally need no tools like it says. As I said, I have a 50" on it, so you shouldn't have an issue. For the price, it really was made nicely.

Even old TVs vary greatly in weight...I would not put more than 40 lbs, and then you need to worry about tipping over

I used this for my 55-inches ultra slim SamSung LED TV. It's very neat! I think it has no problem with 60" 71lbs.
