So this is a nice piece, functional, sleek and it seems to be built for the task. I read reviews of people displeased with the hanging mechanism included, but Im glad I bought it anyway. It comes with instructions for stud placement, but I dont know if Id use the anchors they include even if I did put this in studs. I went to the hardware store and bought the same Toggler brand heavy duty drywall anchors that came with the basics no stud wall mount TV kit. They support up. To 265 pounds in 1/2 drywall and this has a place for 4 of them. I had to also buy large 1/4 washers to accommodate the wholes on the back of the unit otherwise the screws would have just went into the wall instead of catching the unit. All in all, super satisfied and its not going anywhere. Shelves are not that deep, so keep that in mind for your consoles. Cable box hangs a bit over the edge, Playstation has to be turned sideways, but it does the job. LOVE LOVE!!
Good buy, but use common sense
