I have a TV mounted on a 24" x 24" sheet of plywood in my Motorhome. The total weight is 30 LBs. It has a piano hinge at the top. As it replaced a tube type TV there is a lot of space behind it that I wish to use for storage. Would two of these gas struts work to hold the TV"door" open to access the storage behind?

I believe the struts you selected would be adequate. I have one 35 pound strut that holds the engine cover on my in board boat which is about 2 foot by 3 foot with no problem. the more you want the door to open the longer strut you may need. also, the closer to the hinge you place the strut, the more stress that is applied to your screws. I use a couple of wooden dowls to mimic the action of the struts to be assured of the correct length and placement. Good luck.

We installed the bracket under the cabinet in the motorhome and it works great. there is an adjustment to increase the holding power when swinging the tv up and out of the way. You shouldn't have any problem in holding a 10 pound unit up. It snaps into the bracket. With all the bumps that we have hit the tv remained up and out of the way. it should work on any flay mount surfice attached with drywall screw inserts.

Yes it should hold that weight of TV easily. Just make sure that your TV vesa hole pattern on the back (that the mount screws in to) is not bigger than 200x200. I would worry that a 46" tv may have 400x400. This mount does not ship with extenders to accommodate larger than 200x200.

I mounted mine on a plywood base only (with no rear supports) and it works just fine. I think the key would be the weight of the TV. My TV weighs less than 30 pounds. If you have a TV more than that stability might be an issue.

As you can see from the picture, the bracket is composed of 3 pieces, one bracket attaches horizontally to the wall and is 26" wide. The other two brackets are separate brackets, approximately 20" long, that attach vertically to the back of the tv with two bolts. There are multiple holes in the vertical brackets, so they can attach to bolt holes in the back of the tv that could be spaced at different lengths apart. The 20" length between your bolts on the back of the tv should fit on the wall bracket which is 26". As long as the vertical brackets will fit on your tv, the mount should work.

We purchased this for my mother's 46" inch flat screen tv. The tv fits to the edge with no overhang. It depends what look you want. I think that it will hold a larger set, as it is very sturdy, heavy and well made (my husband thinks it is wood) but the larger set will extend over the edges of the cabinet. My husband was able to easily put it together with minimal assist from me (and he said that he is a dummy!lol) All in all we are pleased with the purchase and would buy it again.

Not sure. I have a Direct TV box and DVD player on mine but doubt they weigh 24 pounds. I would make sure you mount to a wall stud (and not just sheet rock) and use 3" screws to mount it. Should be ok.

I would suggest that you look elsewhere for your TV stand. This is a great coffee table, but the center of the glass is unsupported and therefore you may create a stress fracture over time. My wife and I sometimes sit at ours on the floor (that's what take-out does to people!) and I am always very careful to not press on the center as I get up... 75lbs sounds like a lot of weight if it is concentrated in the middle of this unit. Also, it is pretty low to the floor, so you probably would get more use out of a console or a unit designed for media (let alone the cords situtation). Hope this helps!

The description states: "It features 4 open storage spaces including 2 adjustable shelves that can support up to 10 pounds and 2 lateral open spaces". I use the top on my shelve unit to display family pictures and have my TV wall mounted above them. I have my DVD player,Audio Receiver and cable DVR box inside on the shelves which probably take up all 10 lb capacity. If you absolutely need to set your set on top then you could consider putting a leg or brace in the center of the shelve unit to the floor for support. This of course defeats the idea of "wall mount" and you might as well get a cabinet.

160lbs is said to be maximum but I wouldn't install a tv over 100lbs on inside wood walls but if your anchoring to concrete or brick over 100lbs up to said 160lbs maximum should hold. If your Emerson is heavier than that its time to buy a newer thinner tv. The mount also is said to fit 50" tvs so on the dimmentions you should be okay since Emerson uses vesa equivelent factory tv stands. Overall I would say yes it will hold judging on the weight of your tv should be under a 100lbs. Hope this will help.

The hinge is on the top, and since my display case is mounted 7 inches over a cabinet, use a 3 ft section of 1/2 in wide x 1/8 in thick flat stock to prop open the door. You can get the section of flat stock at Home Depot or most stores carrying hardware. There is a lip on on the door of the display case and in my case also one on the cabinet which makes it easy to prop the door open wide enough to access all the locomotives and rolling stock. In the absence of a cabinet you could use a shorter 2 ft section of flat stock and run it from the lip of the open door tothe bottom row of the cabinet in the left or right corners of the cabinet.

I don't recommend it. Check the specifications to see the maximum weight recommended. You will probably be using the unit to hold a receiver or other components, and if you add the weight of the TV to that, it's probably more than the unit can hold. Of course, if you have a small TV, and no components, it could work. But don't risk the whole unit ripping out of the wall, with all your stuff crashing to the floor. I mounted my TV on the wall with a Cheetah mount, and it works and looks great. I keep the top of the unit completely clear, since there's plenty of room for your components on the lower shelves.

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.

I think yes. The top is a mesh type material but it's a sturdy build. If the base of your tv is wide, it should hold. What I would worry about is the effect it would have in your sound.

I believe it was rated for about 100 pounds, but it all depends on how and what you are attaching it to. I put it into a solid oak (not particle board/mdf) TV cabinet and have a 46 inch LCD sitting on it and it works like a champ. Realize you will need to put some kind of wooden shelf on top of the metal square of the pullout. It is a great product and I would buy it again and have recommended it to a few folks who needed something similiar.

I used it to hold a 32" TV. One of the large, old tube tv's. It held up just fine. It now holds a 47" LED TV in my bedroom without issue.

It will hold either one. But just make sure your TV is not too heavy. I try to use it with a 46 inch LCD TV and the TV was too heavy. The cart was not safe to use. But if you have a small LED TV it should work. If it's heavier spend the extra money and get a better one.
