Deb,

You can mount your TV bracket using snap toggle bolts, no need to drill into any stud, metal or wood. Tom uses them and can install the mount for you at a reasonable price if you don't want to DIY.
Yes, I have used Tom and he's great. We had another house with same request but he said tv stand best for such a situation so that what we did. I actually forgot about that and asked him, couple yrs later, if he could do it and he wrote "The reason we put that TV on the swivel stand was because we can't put full motion/articulating wall mount brackets on metal stud walls. Full motion brackets must be mounted in wood studs or concrete." Bummed out because he does good work but I understand his liability. So, wondering if anyone has tried it anyhow.
