For all the owners out there, how heavy is your TV and how well does this hold it extended? Thanks!

I have a 40" Toshiba and it holds it absolutely no problem. I can swing it up to 180 degrees without issue

I tied to put a 46" on it and it just about bent in half it might be good for a 20" maybe

don't know what kind of tv lg1 was trying to put on his but, i have a 32inch vizio lcd base model tv on mine...no problems holding the tv up even fully extended.i wouldn't try to mount a 40 inch plasma on it but a 42 inch lcd or led/lcd tv without the base would not be a problem.

The specs in Amazon says it holds up to 80 lbs. The extra wide one only holds 40 lbs. I am using it for a small TV so I could not say based on my own experience. Hope this helps.

Good thought. I wish mine was a bit longer, too. It came already assembled and I didn't think about taking it apart, but by looking at mine, it appears that you could do it easily. I suppose a lot would depend on how big/heavy your TV is. Mine is just a small 19" and it's very light. Let me know!

I have an older 48" Plasma TV (not sure how much it weighs), but have had no issue. The key is making sure the mount is installed correctly (make sure you hit the studs!)

I have this mount holding a 50" Sony that weights about 35lbs. the mount is bolted to the studs in my wall...two bolts. It handles the weight just fine moves very easily in all directions. Great mount the way i am using it. However, i would not mount any tv or anything else heavier than 5lbs to just the sheetrock. Don't risk it.

Not sure bud. My tv was 66lbs and sagged pretty badly. It's not the base plate that goes in the wall, it's the extended plate that the tv rests on. I would *guess* that 30 lbs might be ok? I went with. $200+ peerless mount and am MUCH happier.

It is supporting my 45 pound TV just fine. It does need to be mounted correctly in order to support the weight. I replaced the bolts that came with the unit with some that were a little larger in diameter and about an inch and a half longer. I also made sure the bolts were going into the center of the wall stud. It is a well built unit but I would not trust the mounting screws that came with it since some much beefier ones only cost about $3 at the hardware store.

Don't have the manual still to confirm, but it's very sturdy and holds my 55inch flat screen just fine, though it's probably only 1/3 that weight or less. 150 seems really high, if you have a projection or tube tv I would recommend something solid wood not press wood.

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.

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.

my tv is 45 inches and it holds it well..someone else wrote they had a larger size tv and held it as well..it is sturdy. But you can't take legs off, attached..needed for support.

My TV weighs around 60 lbs and it holds it with no problem I think it could hold at least 20 more

I have a 75" samsung sitting on it. That's about 100 lbs. It holds the TV with no issues. There are six legs, two in the center for extra support. It was difficult finding a stand for a large TV. This one seemed to be the best fit with the decor in my home. There was not a lot to choose from.

I have it holding a 55inch plasma that probably weighs about that and it feels totally secure. It does come with extra hardware so I actually secured it with 6 bolts into studs instead of the normal 4, but that was overkill. You could really hold a ton with this mount, it is very sturdy.

No doubt it'll 25 lbs well. As long as the TV has a good stand this becomes an extension. This product is great and works well.

Hi, not sure exactly about the weight, but supposed to hold up to a 50 inch flat screen. I have a 40 on mine with no problems.

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.
