   I purchased this item when I ordered a Window Air Conditioner. However when my AC arrived, I was surprised to find that the AC does not have a flat bottom to sit on the bracket. The underside of the AC is rather irregular. So instead of using the bracket, I decided to build a wood frame around the AC to support the unit. Luckily Amazon provided a full refund and provided a shipping label To ship the item back to them for free.

   Have been using this bracket system for over 10 years.
   Requires drilling into the window sill. And then installing long screws. But that's what helps hold your air conditioner.
   And the bracket is made of solid metal.
   Make sure you get the correct bracket for your A/C unit. Check the size by BTU's.

   Only have had this installed for a month or two, but works pretty well. The one downside is I managed to strip the rod bolt that attaches the foot/leg to the platform. There is a good chance this was my fault as I was using two sockets to tighten things and may have unknowingly let things get cross-threaded and then torqued it down hard. The foot has a good nonslip pad. Seems pretty sturdy.
   
   Most importantly, it actually has knowledgeable installation instructions. Most installation instructions can't even be understood nowadays, much less are they helpful. This one teaches you how to determine where the center of gravity sits in your a/c unit and then tells you how to offset the platform mount so it will be balanced. I'm using this for a ~ 50 lb 8000 btu unit and it seems to be working very well. My windows would not work with an a/c without this platform but honestly even if it was possible I would not mount a window a/c without the added security of one of these things. Not bad looking, either - looks equally good/bad as having the a/c sticking out of your window.

   I purchased this product because I installed an horizontal air conditioner in a vertical window, on the third floor master of our home. The bracket has proven to be solid, along with a bar I place inside across the window, and extra insurance a ratchet strap using two eye bolts I installed in the window sill. The initial piece, needed to be installed in the window frame, was too wide, by about 1/8". I sent an email to the manufacturer to ask about a narrower block or would it be permissible for myself to narrow the block without changing the integrity of the assembly. They emailed me back within the hour I think and said it would be okay to narrow the block, so I shaved an 1/16 off each side and proceeded to complete the installation. I installed the shelf with what I thought was the appropriate angle, but discovered there was a roll in the air conditioner sitting on the bracket. Pulled the unit back out, increased the down angle more on the bracket and reinstalled the unit. Must work properly, as I see water dripping from the unit outside

   I bought this for my window AC unit in my apartment and it was great! Easy to install, and holds the unit in place perfectly. It comes with a level built into it, which was really helpful. I used it for 5 years and was still working great up until the day I moved out. One of the best purchases I ever made.
