Great mounting system that's sturdy and reliable!
I just got this mount and I’m really happy with it. I picked this one because it gives me the option to bolt it through my desk, which is great since my table doesn’t have a lip for the clamp. I followed the directions and drilled a 3/8" hole for the bolt, and while it was a bit tight, I managed to tighten it up with a socket wrench without any issues. The mount is stable and doesn’t wiggle at all. Setting up my monitor and laptop was straightforward, and everything feels secure. Plus, there’s extra space on the pole for my clamp light, which is a nice bonus. Update: After almost two years of use, it’s still going strong. I wanted to add a second monitor, so I reached out to Hawkins Woodshop, and Colby helped me find the right arm in no time. Their customer service is —helpful and friendly!

Happy with the stand!
I got the stand yesterday and set it up right away. It took me about half an hour to assemble, mostly because I didn't move my desk from the wall. Then I spent another 30 minutes fine-tuning it and tackling the cable management, but that was just because of my setup. Overall, I'm really pleased with the stand. It helped me clear up desk space without breaking the bank. PROS: - Affordable (cost doesn't affect quality) - Simple to put together - sturdy - Great adjustability - Everything you need is included (except a screwdriver, but you probably have one) CONS: - Adjusting the height can be tricky once the monitor is on (just a minor issue) I was a bit doubtful about how solid this stand would be, but I was wrong! It's well-made and nicely finished. I didn’t see any sharp edges or unpainted spots. You can adjust the fluidity of the parts with the Allen wrench that comes with it. Just so you know, the arms can’t be height-adjusted on the go; you need to loosen a bolt to do that. But I was aware of this beforehand, so it didn’t affect my rating. I’ve uploaded some pics to show the before and after. I regained a lot of space and decluttered my desk! Love it!!!

Solid piece of equipment, going to get more!
Honestly, the folks complaining about this product must not have any experience with tools! I mounted this on my NavePoint server rack for my surveillance server, and I couldn't be happier with how stable it is. The all-metal mount point gives a tight fit, but if you have a flimsy desk, you might want to look at other options. That said, it does come with a bracket if you want to drill holes or bolt it down. As long as your desk is sturdy, you can secure this thing really well—just make sure you tighten everything down. The laptop arm can be a bit awkward since you may have to adjust it depending on how you set it up, but it's flexible. I've got a Thinkpad T60 zip-tied to it, and there are plenty of holes for securing it. Just a heads-up: the wings on the laptop pad should face down, not up, if you want to fit wider laptops. I keep the nut for the tilt axis tight enough for stability but not so much that I can't adjust it when needed. The only edge that has a raised lip is the front, so your laptop can hang over the other sides without issues. If you're using an oversized laptop, be ready to get creative with some heavy-duty zip ties! My zip ties are holding strong even with my kitten jumping on the Thinkpad. Overall, this mount is doing its job well, and it's a better deal than the competition. A solid product that both me and my furry friend approve of!

Fantastic item!
This lift is just what I needed for my small desk. It raises my laptop, giving me enough space to write in a notebook underneath it. Plus, it makes the screen eye level, which is great. The quality is impressive; everything fits perfectly and is nicely finished. There are lots of adjustment options too. I chose the one with two arms because I have another flat monitor, and I can attach it when needed. For now, I’m only using one arm and have stored the other one away.

Sturdy and secure, perfect for any monitor size
I’m really happy with this product! I’ve picked up a few to set up on my desks. The pole is solid and the C-clamp design works well for both thin and thick surfaces, which is great. I use the tray for my laptop and things like an audio mixer and external sound cards. The quality is impressive, and the way it handles cable management keeps everything neat. I also like that I can mix and match accessories and arms from other VIVO kits. The clamps are easy to adjust with standard allen keys, and they even come with a clip mount to keep the tools organized on the pole. This specific kit is in white, while there are black options from VIVO, but you can switch out the arms and tray no problem.

Great mount! Buy it!
I had my eye on this mount for a while and finally decided to get it, and I'm happy I did! I'm using it with my 24” Benq Zowie RL2455S monitor and my HP Beats edition 15” laptop. Both of them are pretty big and heavy compared to newer models, but this mount handles them just fine. Setting it up was straightforward, though I did mix up the arms for the laptop and monitor. Just a heads up—the short arm is for the monitor and the long one's for the laptop. Some folks said it didn’t feel sturdy, but I think it’s solid. It’s just as sturdy as any TV wall mount I’ve used. If it were any sturdier, it would have to be a fixed mount, which would take away the adjustability. At first, I was worried about the laptop tray, but it's been working well. It tilts enough for my laptop to sit on it safely. I added a bit of Velcro around it just in case, but honestly, it’s not necessary. If you want extra security, you could add some clamps, but I trust it as is. I definitely recommend this setup and brand.
