Bedroom TV flat-screen conversion

I finally finished this one off last night. It was a little tedious but turned out well I think. Total project cost was about $300.

The rest was just black walnut with a clear satin poly on it (no stain). I did have to try a couple different mounting arms before I found one that had a shallow enough working space to clear the overhead cabinet in front of it.

Does it have some way to lock in place while driving?  Looks nice!

The first arm I tried had a lock on it but was too long and I couldn't clear the overhead cabinet in front when pulling the TV out: Amazon.com: Mounting Dream UL Listed Lockable RV TV Mount for Most 17-43...

If I wanders just tighten it up and it will be good. My front one doesn't move any more.
