Mounting Dream Bracket Articulating 400x400mm Reviews Summary

Installation

Pros:

• "Installation was easy enough using a ratchet to secure the unit to the wall."
• "Install was a breeze. Very nice mount."
• "The cardboard mounting template made it simple, easy and fast to figure out exactly where to mount the bracket on the wall."
• "Super easy to mount with step by step instructions."
• "EASY PEASY! Included a cardstock template, which took all the guesswork out of where to drill holes!"
• "The included template made the installation very easy."
• "Easy to put up, the included template makes life exponentially easier but is often not included with other brands."

Cons:

• "The only con is that it was hard to move from position to position but added a bit of wd40 and now it moves with ease."
• "A bit difficult to adjust the tilt angle: 2 person job."
• "After attempting to install this, I’m shocked at how great the reviews are. Several necessary pieces are missing from the box."
• "Make sure audit and inventory your parts. I had most critical screws missing which I had to run to home depot and purchase."
• "It doesn’t include the required wall anchors. Those you have to buy separately but there’s no warning of that until you open it up."
• "But, getting it on the wall is a BEAR (at least alone, but that's never stopped me before)."
• "The hardest part of putting it up was figuring out if I could do it myself. But once I decided to do it it went up pretty easily."

Quality and Design

Pros:

• "Great range of motion and headache-free TV hanging."
• "Outstanding product, high quality, easy to install, and great directions, plus all the tools you need."
• "Very strong solid bracket constructed."
• "This tv mount is very sturdy, I believe I can add a heavier tv and it would support it without a doubt."
• "High quality, great versatility and amazing price."
• "The Mounting Dream brand of TV mounts are built solid like tanks--really, the build quality is tremendous."
• "Solid, easy to install (depending on your wall) with a very good variety of mounting hardware included. Excellent value for the money in my opinion."

Cons:

• "Would recommend other brands."
• "Not that it felt cheap but ended up going with a brand name quality HDMI instead of the one provided."
• "The whole point of this style of mount is their maneuverability. The hinges on this are so stiff."
• "It is very difficult to move the TV around, it feels like the hinges are tight."
• "The tilt mechanism of the arm proved to be disappointingly flimsy."
• "The 2 included levels were not accurate."
• "This Mount came with zero drywall anchors and insufficient drywall washers or screws."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "I am amazed by the customer service, both with the included information and the replies by manufacturer here."
• "They clearly back their product which speaks volumes."
• "Great customer service as well with a follow up email."

Cons:

• "I messaged customer service and didn't hear back, so I bought a similar mount locally."
• "I bought 4 of these brackets and they worked well. Recently I bought another unit and contacted Customer Support a number of times to request anchors for concrete-as per their instructions. They never answered the phone or called me back."
• "But am annoyed that when I called the company, I received...”leave a message and we will call you back.”"

Value for Money

Pros:

• "price seemed like a good value."
• "Best bang for the buck! You can’t go wrong with this mount for the money."
• "Couldn't be happier. So tired of so much junk for sale out there and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the quality and value of Mounting Dream."
• "Also got it for a good price, so happy about that!"
• "You get an excellent value for the money."
• "Best value I could find without sacrifice to quality."
• "It’s the right product at a great price."

Cons:

• "Bought this online as i was thinking i was getting a good deal however a few months later i was going to get another one for a bigger TV and found that going to walmart was cheaper."
• "So the choices the seller gave me are to make it look ugly or to spend $80 on a $40 mount."
• "Does not move freely. Returned and bought a name brand wall mount that is far superior in every way imaginable."
• "This is infuriating, it doesn’t fit 16” studs unless you have perfectly centered studs, do some risky mounting, or are willing to pay extra for an extension plate."
