I feel the reviews of this thing having terrible directions are a bit blown out of proportion but then again I am a trades professional and was pretty much as to build this thing by my self. You need to make precise measurements and make sure you get all your power and HDMI cables where you want them before hanging the back panel. The tv is mounted to the back panel and seems sturdy with my 65” TV. All in all I’m very happy with the product. Minus one star because the delivery took almost a month.
