You really get what you pay for here. This is not a good looking mount. The plate and bolts are visible behind the TV when it is both upright and pulled down. The piston feels stiff and needs more force than it should to move. The soundbar bracket is not wide enough for my soundbar, and I’m having to fashion a solution out of universal bracket parts. For the bargain price I shouldn’t have expected more. However, in retrospect I wish I had spent the extra $$$$.
