VESA support varies by model; common patterns include 100×100 up through 400×400 and 600×400 mm on many mounts, while some heavy‑duty models list compatibility up to 800×600 mm.
Cantilever TV mounts are typically made from metal (commonly steel), while decorative cantilever shelves are often constructed from laminated MDF (medium‑density fiberboard).
Many mounts are designed for standard stud spacings and solid walls—commonly 16" and 24" studs—and some models explicitly note compatibility with double wood studs or other solid‑wall installations.
Many full‑motion cantilever mounts include integrated cable routing through the arms and may offer hooks or straps to keep cables organized and out of sight.
Many mounts include the necessary mounting hardware and installation instructions; some also include a mounting template and a bubble level. Shelves commonly ship ready to assemble with the hanging hardware included.
