This mount took about as much effort as you would expect to attach to the wall. I love that I can move my TV toward the couch in my awkwardly configured family room. However, I don't feel like it can turn the TV quite far enough due to the size of the TV. The TV isn't huge. If the arm came out just a little bit more, it would have worked perfectly, but as it is, the TV bumps the wall before I have it turned all the way to where I'd like it.
