CHECK THE DATES ON THE AMAZON REVIEWS
Edit/Update 10/21/15:
As you can tell I was contacted by Cheetah Mounts via Amazon recently (see the comments/responses). You may wish to review those comments in context of my original review. Make your own judgments about the current product. I'm leaving this review intact to assist Amazon buyers and to be fair to Cheetah Mounts.
----- Original Review -----
As others have noted, the 5 star reviews written on AMZ were for a prior revision of this product - not the one shown here. The current product for sale is junk. Cheetah advertises this new unit as "improved" and "using less metal". Read that as "cost-cutting" that doomed one of the best cost-quality ratio TV mounts.
The new unit is flimsy, uneven, and the included hardware is so bad that the nuts will strip the screws on a medium torque setting. They even cut costs with the lag screws holding the mount to the wall.
I fell for the "overall 4-5 star" rating game here on Amazon. Cheetah is advertising the current (terrible) revision with the older (quality) units' ratings. I came back and checked the review dates & now I see what they did. Caveat emptor.
