Summary: Sturdy mounts, arms are a little short
Review: I recently installed a pair of these and was very impressed with the quality of the construction. They seem to be well made and offer a stable support. One nice feature is that the package contains several types of fasteners for mounting the unit to various surfaces such as wood, plasterboard, etc. The kit also includes a safety strap that is designed to keep the speaker from falling to the ground if it were to come lose from the mount. It's really nothing more than a piece of plastic with some holes, but it's probably a good option to install, especially if you plan to mount these on the ceiling. The holes on the mounts aligned with this holes in the rear of my speakers. This made it very easy to attach. If you're not so lucky, you'll have to drill two holes in your speakers to attach the mounts. The only negative comment that I have is that the "arms" of the mount are very short. If you're mounting the speaker so that back of the speaker directly faces the wall this is not a problem. However, if you want to set the mounts at a right angle (mount them to a side/top of a cabinet or on the ceiling) this limits some of the places that you can mount the speaker and still be able aim them the way you want. I mounted mine to the side of my cabinet and can barely aim them the way I need to. The side of the speakers hit the cabinet. I planned on mounting them on top but wasn't able to do that and still aim the speaker at the seating area. (my speakers are about 4" x 7") If they had just made the arms an inch or two longer they would have made these much more flexible.
