Great Stand for Multi-boxing also
(5 out of 5) by Stephen Smith on Jul 10, 2009 (Wellston, Ok)as many has said, this is a very sturdy stand. There is no worries from the clamp, it is very strong.
What I like, Is I was able to take my 22" widescreen, put it on portrait, and run two instances of WoW one on top of the other. Then It was simple to use the other monitor a 19" widescreen for the main account.
This really does help simplify Multiboxing as the distance to mouse over to the different accounts is cut drastically.
I highly recomend this to others, not only for Multiboxing, But also for those who need more then one monitor in there work, or at play.

Amazing value. Quality build, lots of adjustability, and sturdy. The best value for a hardware purchase I've had in a while.
(5 out of 5) by ydant on Jul 9, 2009 (Frederick, MD)This is an impressively well-valued monitor stand. For ~$50, you get a very sturdy stand that will mount on a desk anywhere from close to 6" inches thick to the desk pictured, which is less than 1/2" thick. The stand offers significant adjustment:
1) Vertical - monitors can go as high or as low as the entire length of the pole
2) Rotation - the entire assembly can be easily rotated on the central pole
3) Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist - both monitors can swing on three independent hinges on the horizontal axis, accommodating a wide range of monitor sizes and positions.
4) Individual monitor rotation and tilt - allowing for monitor orientation and viewing.
The build quality of this mount impressed me, especially given the price. The materials are solid, well coated, and all of the sharp bits are covered or properly smoothed. The hinges feel stiff but pliable and don't give any hints of premature failure. The manual says no more than 16lbs per monitor, but this feels like it could handle twice that.
The mount is shipped with minimal installation required - simply screw two screws for the clamp and then clamp to the desk using two (already attached) eye-hook long bolts. Slide the mount over the pole and use the supplied allen wrench. Oh, and that wrench is no Ikea number - this thing is hefty and has a rubber coated handle. Impressive.
The monitors mount using standard VESA mount and have provisions for two different mount sizes. The kit includes 8 screws, although my Dell monitors had the four screws already. You will need a Philips head (or similar) screw driver.
I strongly recommend this monitor if you have a pair of LCD monitors and can clamp it to the back of your desk. Reclaim the desktop space and get some better vertical adjustment.

Agreed
(5 out of 5) by someone on Jun 10, 2009 (washington)I agree with the general consensus that this a good product especially considering the price. I just have a couple things to add/elaborate...
Overhang: My setup is with two Samsung LCDs (22.6 and a 21.5) both in landscape orientation. They are in contact with eachother and are in nearly the same plane (eg a very slight 'V' formation facing me). My main point here is that, if you want monitors of this size to be set up touching one another, the arms make it somewhat difficult to do so without moving both LCDs forwards roughly 8". Other reviewers have eluded to this. If minimal desk overhang is a top priority and you don't care if the monitors aren't touching then an arrangement as shown in the product pic should work fine. For me, my desk is quite deep, so this actually worked out the way I wanted it.
Clamp: I was a little concerned about putting all this weight onto an Ikea glass desk (~3/4" thick) via a metal clamp. It actually worked out well. There is a soft feltish surface on the underside of the clamp - the surface that contacts the top of the desk. As for the fasteners, they have a somewhat elastic quality so as to gently apply the pressure. I'm sure there is an actual name for these.
Joints: The main arms are made up of multiple swinging joints as well as rotary joints at the end where the monitors attach. The latter are smooth and easily adjustable if you want a monitor to go from eg landscape to portrait. However, the main arm joints are kind of sticky. This undoubtedly adds the stability of the mount (without being super $$) but the trade-off is that configurations take a little extra effort, or "finessing" as someone else put it.

Better than the best
(5 out of 5) by Dwight R. Schofield on Dec 29, 2008 (Fort Myers, FL USA)I received this for Christmas and I have to tell you it's the best thing since sliced bread! I have a 22" and 17" monitor which used to stand on my desk allowing absolutely no working room or room for pens, stapler, tape and the many other desk essentials. No longer!
It took about about 15 minutes to entirely recreate my desktop. I should have done this a long time ago. The stand clamps onto the desktop and is itself adjustable, very slick setup. The only tools I needed beside the Allen wrench that was supplied was a screw driver. The pieces were all solid and well finished.
I recommend this highly to anyone wanting their desk back. The only thing that could possibly improve this product would be a 24" post instead of the 18" that comes with the kit. I will check with the manufacturer about this.
Five stars; best of the best!
