Has anyone used this with a 55" TV? The TV would be hanging on the wall above it, but I'm afraid it will look disproportionate to the fireplace.

I have a 42 inch tv on the stand itself, and there is about 6-7 inches on either side. I actually think the TV looks a bit small on the stand. I think that if you use a 55 inch it may be just slightly larger if not the same length of the TV stand. It may look a little large, unless you would be willing to settle for a 50 inch, which is likely a good balance between my 42 inch and your 55 inch (unless you have already purchased it!). Thanks.

Not sure... I have my 55 inch on it and there is no problem. I would suspect it depends on the weight of the tv.

My 55" fits end to end. I would not want to sit the TV on the stand. It looks good with the TV floating a few inches above the stand. I love the unit. Good quality and excellent for storage.

The instruction sheet says the top is rated to hold 60 pounds. 55 is pushing it but probably okay. The stand seems sturdy but it's just not that big, and it's just particle board. A good piece of hardwood furniture is going to do better than knockdown items like this, and if you spend big bucks on a TV, don't skimp on the support. As for the width, really the issue would be the base -- and the risk of bumping into your TV if it sticks past the edge of the stand. It's all common sense, really. HTH.

I have a 55" Sharp Aquos on it and it worked out far better than I could have hoped for. The instructions say no more than a 20" TV and up to 60 pounds. I am quite certain they say that for liability reasons. My 55" is 47 pounds and it is quite sturdy on this table. My only concern would be if you have small children, or toddlers. You would better off mounting your television to the wall for their safety. My brand new 55" Television has an odd base with no swivel. Worse my sound bar was not only blocking the infrared remote, but was also blocking the bottom few inches of the screen. This table solved all my problems.

In my opinion a 55 inch TV would be too big, it would overhang on the sides. I have a 46 incher and it is even with the stand on the sides.

I had >45 degree walls when I mounted mine and it worked, because I just flipped the mount bracket. The only issue you may face is a slight downward tilt due to the weight of the tv. There are two bolts on the tv axle that I haven't tried to tighten, and that may fix the problem. But I think to answer your question, you'll be fine. I had the same problem and it hangs straight.

I have mine above the fireplace. There shouldn't be any problem, as long as there are studs behind your walls to hang it. The other side of your wall should be metal (for the chimney), but you should still be able to hang it through the drywall into studs. Good luck!

My TV is 46" and I use the screws that were include in the wall mount and have no problem with it. It has been over six months with no problems.

The 47-inch is perfectly stable without attaching it to the table. I've even tested this by pushing gently on the top rear of the TV to see if it tilts forward. I'm not sure about the 55-inch.

The cabinet is pretty tall and narrow. I think the width of a 55" TV would look strange sitting on top.

The 55 inch is FAR too large for this TV Stand ... I just purchased the Samsung 55inch and its hanging all off the sides so now I have to purchase a new tv stand. Its ideal for tvs in the 30s and 40s.

I mounted Our 55" Samsung (no problem) and from working with the brackets that came, for mounting to TV, it seems they have all the bases covered. There is only a few different "bolt patterns" for flat screens. Mine is mounted to a brick wall, with the inserts they sent in the box, and it seems very secure, both to the wall and the TV. The brackets are very adjustable and We got just the right angle, horizontal and vertical, for Us to watch while sitting on the sofa, loveseat and recliner. I wish I had mounted it a little higher, maybe 56" instead of 48" to the center, the lower 1/3 of the screen is sometimes blocked by heads, when the Kids are setting on the floor.

I have a 50 inch that hangs over it. 55 would probably be too big. This is not a real wood console. It is pressed wood with a veneer over it. It also doesn't have very good airflow where the components sit. We have a playstation inside the glass area and it gets really hot in there. I will likely have to drill some extra vent holes to let it ventilate better.

I cannot know about a specific model of TV, but I can explain how the stand holds it. The first part of the process is to build the stand itself and then to attach the TV to it. There are 2 vertical bars that screw tightly into the TV itself. Two people lift up the TV and hook the bars over the mount. The TV is therefore just hanging there nicely centered into place and then you put in a final set of screws so that it cannot move out of that position. My TV is a 55" Sony and it works perfectly. Yours, at 60" would use up that 5 inch difference and thus the TV would hang slightly lower on the bottom and higher on the top. This is a very sturdy mount and I would recommend it. But as I said at the start, I have no experience with your particular TV. Good luck!

It depends on whether you use the vertical tilt feature. I have a 55" TV mounted so that the top is as close to the ceiling as possible and tilted downward about 12-1/2 degrees. The bottom of the TV is 1" from the wall and the top is 6-1/2" from the wall. If it weren't tilted, I would guess that it would be about 2-1/2" from the wall.

I have a 50 inch led tv so I didn't want to take a chance of having it crash down. So I wall mounted mine but I've put a lot of weight on it and it didn't even budge. I would suggest to wall mount your tv just to be safe though
