Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of OmniMount CCH1B Center Channel Speaker Shelf
Customer Review: Works fine - if it stays on your TV!
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not buy this thing! I followed the mounting directions carefully (I write directions/procedures for a living). It was on top of my Sony 50" SXRD, with my 20 lb. Polk Center Channel Speaker, for exactly one day before everything came crashing down. The legs snapped off at the attachment screws up by the shelf and my speaker came crashing down behind the TV, hit the wall, and almost pushed the TV forward off of the stand. If I hadn't rushed to catch it, it could have ended up face down on the family room floor. From my experience, I would say that you can't trust this thing with anything over 10 lbs - if that.Customer Review: Upside-down mounting the way to go!
Summary: 5 Stars
As suggested by another reviewer I tried mounting the shelf upside down on my Sony KDS-60A3000. Good idea! The shelf is "invisible", with only a slight lip extending over the silver bezel of the TV. The pegs designed for right-side-up mounting would have extended into the screen.
As far as those reporting the shelf collapsing, I have not had any problems. Just don't over load the shelf; be certain that all set screws are tight and clean the area where the pads connect to the back of the TV.
Highly recommended...and you get better sound when you get the center speaker above the TV.
Customer Review: perfect solution
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a solution for my center chanel speaker that did not involve a hole in the wall. I found the Omnimount and not much else. I was a little worried when a reviewer said it was not designed for the newer shallower TVs. Well, it turns out it is. Maybe it was redesigned, but the instructions show you how to attach it to three different type of TVs - deep, shallow and drop back (not sure if these were the exact names).
The shelf is quite wide, so it looks like it could handle much bigger speakers than mine, or maybe a cable box. Still, it blends with the black TV case and looks real nice.
Customer Review: Buy local and count the parts before leaving
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this Omnimount from a local national electronics chain. Once I got home and unpacked the shelf, the front two pegs that hang over the front of the tv were missing. I returned to the store to exchange it for the same item. Before leaving the store, I asked the customer service desk open the box and check for all the parts. It too was missing the same two parts.
A co-worker of mine also lacked the same parts when he purchased the same item at the same chain. He was more fortunate than me and was able to get a box that had all the parts once he returned to the store.
Customer Review: So far, so good...
Summary: 3 Stars
I have a Sharp 37" LCD and it is very thin. I was going to ship the stand back because the legs were about 5 inches from the TV. My wife suggested moving the legs forward a few holes. So far it looks and seems fine. I have about a 10lb speaker on it as well as an HD Cable receiver. If they crash, I will lose a lot of money and possibly damage the TV. I will see how it lasts for about a month, and if it works I will probably buy another.
UPDATE 10/24/08: So far this little stand has withstood the test of time and I would recommend it to my friends and family.
