The metal plate the TV hangs on (at end of swivel arm) allows the TV with a small push be made level or unlevel. it suppose to have that much play?

The plate is supposed to be able to tilt the tv out, if that is what you are calling play. You can choose to tilt or just leave the tv level. But the tv shouldn't "fall" on its own.

I believe that whole assembly is supposed to have 6 degrees (or something like that) of tilt up or down. I think that is what you are referring to. If not I can check again as to what you may be seeing.

It's not as strong as it may look like, it's ok I guess, and it depends how big and heavy ur tv is!

No. It has a very very slight downward tilt to it, just because of the weight of the TV

I have a 32" flatscreen on the top, the middle holds a 5+/- lb av receiver and a middle surround speaker. I just tried sitting on the top shelf with the tv still on it and it did not seem like it would break. I am just under 200lbs. I did not put all my weight on it but enough to know it can hold about 50 lbs without worry. Id even go as far to say it holds 100lbs on the top shelf alone but you shouldn't put anything that heavy on it either way; no tv weighs that much that you wouldn't just mount to the wall. It is really unbelievably sturdy for the material and assembly. slight wobble but not fall apart wobble. you would have to try to break it in order to.

yes it does..if you don't place upside down like we first tried..the swivel plate is to be on the bottom, not where the tv sits..

I wouldn't do it. If it starts going off-center as you are swiveling it you may not notice after several weeks and it could go off-balance. If you have kids I definitely wouldn't do it. Also, you should check the weight capacity of the unit. I think this one was about 100 lbs. There are ones from the same company that hold up to 250 lbs. If the base on your tv is 37 inches, it could easily be over 100 lbs.

I believe it would hold it well without wobbling as long as it's on a level surface. Their TV stand is a pretty solid piece too.

I am not quite sure of your question. The arm lays fully against the wall if the TV is not mounted.

The base is stationary but the arm extends and you can move the TV from side to side. I believe it also adjusts up and down. It is in my camper bolted to a counter over some drawers. It worked well while moving down the road. Could move it out and swing in whichever direction I needed.

Well if your tv is light enough maybe..but if its heavy like mine it might wobble this high up...

The only issue that I see with mounting it upside down is that the knob that holds the mount onto the arm could loosen with repeated movement of the arm. If the knob eventually came off, the TV would fall off.

That thing isn't going anywhere unless someone plows into it directly, pushing on the top of the TV, in an attempt to topple it over. Even then, might be difficult. It's really stable. Note that my assumptions are 1) my configuration sits on carpet and 2) I'm using a 42 inch flat screen. The top-heavy weight increase of a 50 inch flat screen may cause a non-negligible difference. I don't know. But the construction seems really good, and right now I'm confident about its stability.

The last picture simply shows a view of the articulating arm fully extended straight out once the base has been mounted to the back of the TV. The last pic gives you the impression that the arm is cheap and unable to hold up a TV, but it is actually STURDY and the hardware appears to be high quality & well made. I have nothing but positive things to say about this mount because of its flexibility to tilt the TV at any angle (tilts up, down, arm can move side-to-side and/or extend out or close to the wall). However, I suggest two people install it but overall, I LOVE it!

The center of mass is going to be only inches in front of the back plate so it will topple back easily unless you have it against the wall. The stand extends out about a foot, so it will still topple forward if someone decides to give the TV a nice tug, unless you strap it to some furniture.

Yes, you can level it after you mount to the wall, but probably not with the tv on. Mine mount was slightly off level and I adjusted it before putting the tv on.It can lock the tilt feature but not with in / out. The weight of the tv holds it in the position you want, at least mine did. It has been mounted for a couple months and hasn't budged. It actually takes two people to move in where you want it when the tv is mounted. That might be by design.

In an otherwise fantastic HDTV, this is the little weakness. The stand does wobble if you, well, wobble it. But once it's set up there's no reason to mess with it. It seems secure nonetheless. If you need to move it, pick it up by the set itself (two people, of course). Just my opinion.

You have a unit that is less in weight than I am using. I have an old 32" standard TV--almost takes two to lift it. The unit has been on the stand for over one year. There is no evidence of weakening or sag in the stand. I would highly recommend this to you. It is strong, easily assembled, and has the appearance of a fine piece of furniture.
