I didn't have the leveling problem other people had. Works great except that the tilting is not really something that can be done with the tv on the rack. Installation is about a thousand time easier if you have a sockets that can go on a drill.

TV mounted: 46" Panasonic plasma G15
Parts (lots of small parts): all there except for 1 plastic spacer (cut one from a piece of irrigation tubing), good quality
Instructions: fair, but as said before, this is not rocket science. I found it helpful to install the bracket on the back of the TV first so I could see where to vertically place the wall portion of the mount. You will need a 2nd person to lift and attach the TV if the mount is fairly high.
Fit/Finish/Function: very good quality, the unit swings and tilts as it should, didn't use the cable management system as the unit is completly hidden by the TV in a cabinet.

To begin with, I am not a handyman by any stretch of the imagination, but I figured I would give mounting this a try. With a decent stud finder, level, and ratchet I had all the tools I needed. It went up on the wall very easily, and the TV attached nearly as easily. I was very impressed with the sturdiness and the ability to adjust the angles. I attached a 46 inch Sony Bravia TV and have no concerns with it coming down. As with many of the other comments, I could not believe the price in comparison with other brands (many more than $300)! I would certainly recommend this product to anybody who might be interested. The item is not perfect. The instructions are not clear, and it would be nice if some of the hardware was covered better behind the TV, but for the price, and functionality of the object, this is possibly the best deal I have ever found on Amazon!

I could not be happier with this stand. The overall appearance is clean and strong. Once installed the mount could easily support my 40 inch LCD and more--I was pulling on the arms to test its strength after my TV was mounted. An included safety bar keeps the TV in place and secure. The duel actuating arms give you the freedom to easily point your display in a wide degree of viewing angles. Being able to pull it away form the wall made it great for accessing the cable in back. Very simple install, came with all the neccissary hardware and additional pieces.
Where the dumb luck comes into play:
With the help of a friend I was able to measure, drill, and mount in about 40 minutes. But as hard as we tried to get the drilled holes and base of the mount level, our work was slightly off. Even though the base would be on an angle, we continued to attach the mount and later the LCD. Sure enough the display was PERFECTLY level. It was dumb luck that the stand was not manufactured perfectly level and the hardware made up for our drilling error. Had the two of us successfully installed the base of the mount level, the display would have been tilted.
Overall the stand looks great, is very strong, secure, and allows for easy adjustment of the direction and angle. The only thing you have to look our for is making sure everything is level, not just your drilling, but the mount itself. A+, but I did get lucky.

OK.. I recruited a friend to help with the lifting of the tv and mount for mounting to the wall.
Neither my friend nor myself are a novice when it comes to mounting tvs/working with mounting things to walls.
With THAT said.. I will review.
Instructions: pure and utter garbage. I have no idea how a company could put out such a horrible set of instructions. No pictures, it even skips steps that a novice would not know about, and it doesn't explain things correctly.
Hardware: GARBAGE. DO NOT USE. I was a a little confused at first by why they would include what they did (a few anchors and some cheap zinc screws..) I decided to play devils advocate and mounted it anyways. Downstairs on the Sanus mount i have, i literally had a friend do a pull-up on it. Why would i want to take a chance with a $1000+ tv. if it ll hold 200 lbs, it ll hold my tv and some adjustments. I had my friend do a "pull up" on this cheetah mount with the hardware that came with it and it RIPPED RIGHT OUTTA THE WALL!! NO WAY would i mount my nice plasma on that.i went out to Lowes and got my own deep screws. used them and its great.
Mount: only complaints are the sag and twise.. that is caused by uneven mounting and by structual un-eveness in the manufacturing of the mount. all i have to do is add a little wash on the one side and its gonna be perfect
Ability to move/manuever: not as easy as the Sanus i have, but still - for the price its MORE than worth it. you get what you pay for.
Is it worth it??: YES. of course yes. just get new hard ware.
