User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars excellent product.
Some people complained about how the joints on it are too tight, but that’s silly because the joints’ tightness is adjustable. It takes using a tool (that is provided with the mount) to tighten or loosen whatever joints are necessary.

I use an AOC 2230 something or other monitor (22 inches, 11 lbs i think). It works perfectly. The color doesn’t perfectly match my black monitor, but….I don’t care.

There was no assembly required. It came completely assembled. Admittedly, I did have to take the edge-mount off because I’m using the grommet, but that wasn’t very hard.

There are rubber/foamish pads at the bottom of either mount where the stand touches the desk. These provide a great buffer between the mount and desk so that wood won’t scratch, the mount will stay put, etc.

I’ve never used any other mount of comparable complexity, but this is exactly what I wanted.

bravo!

5 Stars These are very cool
I bought 6 of these for work, and now everyone wants one. They are super strong, nice looking on the desk, and useful. My whole office recommends them! For us, they were worth the money.

5 Stars Great Quality + Good Price
Pros:

- Very sturdy, typing with it mounted to my desk did not make the screen vibrate.

- There is a large range of possible horizontal motions and a decent amount of vertical range.

- The price is very good when compared to some of the other products out there.

- Can be mounted in multiple ways, i.e. at the edge of you desk with a clamp or in the middle with a drill.

Cons:

- Some of the hinges to allow motion come from the factory VERY tight. I would loosen some of them a little bit before mounting.

- For the 100mm monitors there is an adapter plate that you have to use. This worries me because the monitor seems like it is being held up only by the tension of thumb screws on the monitor. But so far it seems very sturdy.

3 Stars Not bad but cut some corners
I was satisfied with the product in general. The cable holders, however, are a joke – they are very flimsy and fall off often. So I’ve discarded them. Also the documentation is a bit unusual – no words, just pictures, some of which aren’t understandable at first glance.

1 Star Not good for Apple Cinema Displays
Even though this arm is rated to support 18 lbs, it won’t support even the 20″ aluminum Cinema Display which weighs 14 lbs. Rather than using a toothed hinge for the tilt axis, it uses cheap plastic washers so even though I’ve tightened it so much that I’ve stripped the allan bolt, the monitor still droops.
