A:AnswerYes it can be mounted on stone or masonry, all bolts were included but it might be worth it to get additional bolts at a hardware store. Since it is not recessed the tv does end up being about 8 inches away from the wall when in the stored position..
A:AnswerLike many articulating mounts...most of the mount is attached to the wall. A bracket frame gets attached to the TV. The TV is then hung from its bracket on the wall part of the mount, and secured with screws to keep it from "lifting" off.
