This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sanus TV Wall Mount. All opinions are 100% mine. In compensation for my time and work, I received one Sanus TV wall mount for myself and one to give away to my readers!
When we first moved into our previous home, I transformed an old bench from an antique mall into a unique TV stand. But there were always a few things I still wanted to improve about our TV set-up. I’ve always wanted to have our TV mounted on the wall and eliminate the clutter of cords visible behind and around it.
I love the look of the television hanging from a TV wall mount. It’s simple and clean. And I like the idea of disguising the blank TV amongst prettier pictures, like the picture below.

But even more important than design benefits, is the safety concern. Flat panel TVs can easily tip over when bumped or pulled, toppling off of furniture and harming little ones. SANUS, the leading manufacturer of flat panel TV wall mounts has partnered with Safe Kids Worldwide to educate consumers on the risk of unsecured flat panel TVs. And that’s a campaign I can definitely get behind!
A 2011 US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) report on flat panel TV safety revealed:
- A child is killed every three weeks from an unsecured TV
- Every 45 minutes a child visits an emergency room due to a TV tip-over related injury
- Between 2000 and 2011, 215 fatalities have resulted from TV tip-over
- An estimated 17,000 people each year, the majority of which are children, are treated for injuries from TV tip-overs
- Reported cases have increased almost 25% from 2006 to 2010, and over the last 10 years, injuries have increased by 31%
So please make sure your TV is safe by mounting it to the wall or using anti-tip tv safety straps!

Thanks for the giveaway. This is actually something we should consider using now that our bedroom is uber small.
It would be nice for a small room! Then you wouldn’t have to have a dresser or stand underneath!
Entered because my kid likes to get up on the coffee table, lean onto the tv stand, and manually change the channel when he does not approve of the show It’s anchored but I prefer it to be mounted now that he’s a serial climber!
