Amazon Basics Single Monitor Stand - Height Adjustable Arm Mount, Steel, Black

I share a desk with my other half... it's my desk really, but she has a computer tucked underneath that she can use from time to time. I purchased this monitor arm to try and maximise the desk space available by being able to get rid of the monitor stand and also to be able to push the monitor out of the way when not in use, but also be able to pull the monitor out and have it at a suitable viewing angle when actually in use. This monitor arm does this perfectly.The desk I have is pretty sturdy so it has a good surface to clamp to. I'm not sure I'd want to clamp this to something like the IKEA Linnmon desks are they're pretty hollow and not very rigid... but that's more a fault of the desk than the arm. Just something worth mentioning to make sure you're not attaching this to something too weak to hold it.The product itself is very well made. I expected a much weaker, more flimsy product for this price and especially considering it has "Basics" in the brand name... but it's absolutely solid, decently thick steel. There's no way it'll bend or flex easily. Really easy to put together, took only about 10 minutes or so to completely set it up on the desk. Adjustability is great, the arm is a little bit stiff so it may take a bit of time to make it easier to move about, but it's generally pretty good.I'm not entirely sure of the specs of the monitor, but it's a fairly beefy ASUS 27" unit... Absolutely no issues holding this monitor, no adjustments needed to make it support the weight. I was in the market for two monitor stands and decided this one would cut it for that monitor, but for my own Samsung 34" ultrawide, I wasn't convinced it'd be sturdy enough so bought a different arm for that. Admittedly I haven't tested it, but having now physically seen and felt the product, I'd be almost happy to say this would likely have held that ultrawide monitor as well.The cable management is quite good for such a simple thing as well. The pole is basically hollow with a hole at the bottom rear. There is then a plastic cap that keeps the top of the pole neat and tidy once you've run your cables... It's very basic but does such a great job... and the rear exit is a very welcome feature as I've seen others that come from the front and you end up with the cables shoved right in view. The rear helps keep them hidden and tidy, you'd barely even know the cables were there!For such a basic monitor arm, I highly, highly recommend this product.

For a cheap arm, this is incredibly sturdy. I couldn't believe it but it holds weight well, the bottom spreads the weight across the desk well. Easy enough to assemble, doesn't get in the way and can be adjusted.

Great stand. I have the double and single. They are well built and serve the purpose well.. I also find the heavy 27" monitor holds well on my stand. The main issue is if you use 3 screens like myself the single arm variant is not the same height as the double so the single height screen is lower. Which is not an issue if you use a big screen in the middle but 3 screens the same would annoy most users as they wouldn't align.

BACKGROUND--------------------------------------This is my second monitor stand - my first one was a single one from a different manufacturer, as I recently purchased a 24" screen to mount in portrait mode. The previous one was very sketchy with such a huge monitor on it, despite the monitor being within load limits....PROS--------------------------------------- MUCH easier tilt adjustment than previously - can hold my Samsung CF791 without falling (the CF791 is notorious for having an AWFUL VESA mount that makes keeping it still an extreme challenge)- Cable routing through the stand (when I get around to it...)- Nowhere near the amount of lean previously noticed with other screens- Easy angle/height adjustment even when locked in place without much undoing requiredCONS--------------------------------------- Still leans....see pictures. Not much of a con though, as short of a piece of structural steel, a 34" ultrawide will always make these stands lean- Dual base clamp wheels, which are tricky to get level, especially on IKEA desks where it's easy to overtighten and destroy the deskSUMMARY--------------------------------------This stand is night-and-day compared to what I had before, and I'm very impressed at it's value. The stand itself is huge in diameter, and has a really neat cable route that can fit kettle-leads and HDMI cables with ease. It leans, and bends, but this is to be expected, and it's very slight. It doesn't appear to be getting worse. It can also fit an ultrawide as long as you only use a 24" for the second screen - this current setup has maxed out the arm width, so a 27 would not fit. Nor would the 24 in landscape mode. Assembly was simple!FOR IKEA DESK USERS:This stand will have the same issues as any other with certain desks - if like me you've got a honeycomb desk, it'll crush it with the added weight of two monitors. I have fixed the slight lean in its entirety by cutting two pieces of solid wood, and sandwiching the desk between them where the monitor stand clamps. The stand is FAR stronger like this, as the load is spread out!

Nice sturdy monitor stand for the price.

Largely good, held a 32” Samsung monitor fairly well, main reason I stopped using it was it was prone to wobbling which I was not a fan of.To be totally honest not terrible for the price, I’d just like something more stable

Fantastic monitor stand! I got this to hold up my third monitor in portrait mode, and I’m very happy with it. It has a great weight to it and doesn’t feel like it’s about to fall over—very strong and has held up my monitor for months now. It was also very easy to attach the monitor; I was able to do it by myself, which was great! Attaching it to my desk was just as simple, and it feels like it has excellent grip strength. The metal hasn’t chipped, twisted, or rusted in any way. Overall, a solid and reliable stand!
