If for no other reason it allows for easy access to the back of the TV.Yes, the complaints that the lag bolts are cheap is true.

The lag bolts were fine, I didn't see any of the "cheap mounting hardware" that some of the other reviewers did

Although the Lag bolts may not look like much, don't worry about what other reviewers say about recommending that you buy your own "rated" lag bolts because the ones provided are more than strong enough to hold the weight of recommended tv size.

(I paid attention to the reviewers who said the lag bolts were bad, and got some heavy-duty lag bolts from a hardware store, so don't construe my "robust" characterization to apply to the included lag

I kept reading in other reviews that the lag bolts were flimsy, i had no problem with them, i had to screw them in about three times because i kept changing the position of the mount and even then had no problems

How some earlyer reviewers broke the lag bolts i will never know

Some people mention that the included lag bolts seem cheap and even break, but while I'll admit they are not high quality, I think they are sufficient for the job.

For anyone who buys this, do yourself a favor, first have a good drill and drill bits, have a good level (the one that comes with it is just ok), get yourself some good lag bolts from ACE, Home Depot, or Lowes, because I wouldn't trust the screws that come with it, get a good stud finder, and bolt it into the wall studs

When put together the mount is as strong as if it was one piece.

I didn't know you could mess up a

worked as we wanted it to and came in no time

, I know it says 15 degree tilt for up or down but the tilt side to side is pretty much nonexistant, easy to install though and my son loved the leveler as we didn't need to use it!

n’t fit well together
