Alta Wall Furniture System with Integrated Mount - Espresso Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking to mount my Panasonic 42 inch plasma on the wall in the master bedroom. The Z-line Alta Wall Furniture had the hidden panels for cable management, modern looks, and the style that would match my existing furniture. I had a difficult time finding the maximum dimension of the Z-line TV mount. My Panasonic horizontal mounting holes are about 26 inches apart (or around 660 mm). The Z-line information said it will fit "most" 42 inch LCD/Plasma TVs. I went ahead and ordered the Z-line and hoped my TV fell in the "most" category. Unfortunately, the max you can use with the Z-line is about 400 mm.
I jumped back on the internet and searched for a few days for a flat panel adapter and came up with the Vantage Point ADP42-B Adapter plate for flat panel display (also sold on Amazon). This mount fit perfectly on my Panasonic (think you can go as wide as 27.5 inches). The kit gives you a box full of bolts, washers, and raised rubber spacers to mount on the back of the TV. I was able to mount the TV brackets for the Z-line onto the Vantage Point adaptor well within the 400mm range for the stand. Another plus with the Vantage adaptor is the TV sits a few more inches away from the Z-Line and gave me more room to plug in the power, HDMI cable, and audio out cable (still kinda tight behind there, had to use a mirror to see the RCA plugs).
Mounting the Z-Line was just 4 bolts into the 2X4 stud, adjusting the 1 out of 4 height levels for the TV stand, and 4 small bolts each for the 2 glass shelves. There is plenty of space behind the panels to hide all power/wires. You can also adjust the tilt of the TV to give you a better viewing angle. I also purchased the Omnimount CMK 4 inch cable management covers to hide the wire from the bottom of the Z-line (Amazon also).
I will still rate this product 5 star because of its ease of mounting, looks, and functionality. Z-line should include the max dimension for the mounting bracket and offer a mount kit if your TV mounting holes exceeds the 400mm (around 15 ½ inches).
