75-Inch MantelMount MM700 on Stone Fireplace in Milton, GA Living Room

A Milton, GA homeowner wanted their 75-inch TV mounted on the dramatic two-story stacked-stone fireplace in their cathedral-ceiling great room, but still comfortable to watch from the sofa below the rustic wood mantel. We installed the MantelMount MM700 pull-down bracket directly into the stone, allowing the screen to drop down to eye level for movie nights and return cleanly above the mantel when not in use.

The 75-inch TV was mounted on the stacked-stone fireplace above the rustic wood mantel using the MantelMount MM700 — the heavy-duty pull-down bracket rated for 50–115 lb TVs and engineered specifically for over-fireplace installs. The bracket was anchored directly into solid stone (not mortar joints) using sleeve anchors rated for the TV's weight class plus the leverage forces of the articulating arms. The counter-balanced gas-spring arms allow the screen to drop down approximately 30 inches and pivot left/right for ergonomic seated viewing from the great room sofa, then return flush above the wood mantel when guests arrive. Heat clearance above the wood-burning firebox was measured and verified before the bracket position was finalized.

Pilot holes were drilled into solid stone at precisely measured locations using a hammer drill with diamond-tipped masonry bits, intentionally avoiding the mortar joints that would compromise holding strength. Heavy-duty sleeve anchors were set into the stone and the MM700 bracket was through-bolted with the included hardware rated to safely support the 75-inch TV through its full pull-down and swivel range. The counter-balanced gas-spring arms were tuned for smooth one-handed operation despite the screen's weight. Heat clearance above the wood-burning insert was measured at the fully retracted position to confirm the TV stays well outside the manufacturer's thermal exposure zone, and the rustic wood mantel was used as a natural heat deflector per MantelMount's installation specifications.

The Milton great room now showcases a dramatic 75-inch display on the two-story stacked-stone fireplace — the architectural focal point the cathedral-ceiling room was designed around — without sacrificing comfortable viewing. The MantelMount MM700 pulls the screen down to eye level for ergonomic movie nights and tucks it back up flush above the rustic wood mantel when not in use. Certified MantelMount installation, anchored into solid stone for rock-solid stability, and backed by the 5-year workmanship warranty.
