The directions were not all that great and you have to assemble the part of the bracket that mounts on the wall. But, it's an excellent value and does a great job of securely holding our 55\ led tv. I don't use it but the tilt is nice and it is very flush to the wall.You have to use common sense with hardware since the directions are not very useful. I had to use the included spacer with the screws that go into the back of the tv because the screws were too long w/o them."
