I can't ask for a better desk (*Single Column Crank Adjustable Stand up Desk (40”, Black Frame, Black Top). I've had this desk for nearly 6 months before writing this review and I just absolutely loved it. Bought it used and shipped by amazon for about $150. Think brand new runs about $240 or something. Who cares, I did save some money because I wanted all the extras to go with this desk [34"5k monitor (34WK95), clamp on monitor adjustable arm (*AmazonBasics Premium Single Monitor Stand), clamp on desk lamp (*Phive LED Lamp) pen organizer mount (*Self Stick Pencil Tray), clamp on surge protector (*Tripp Lite Surge Protector), Desk Clamp Binder Clip, adjustable stool(Brenton Studios Jaffin Active Stool), and underneath laptop mount(*Mintcraft pipe strap] so yeah, buying all that equipment ran up the price to build my rolling workstation.
Buying it used, amazon did mention that it had cosmetic damages which was fine for me because really its mainly the framework I wanted. The desk part did have a few scuffs and chips and not like I couldn't fix it or just build the tabletop to my liking buying the wood from a local hardware store which initially was the plan. It;s not so much a bothersome for me because after 6 months, I still havent changed it and been using it for productivity anyway.
Why this crank adjustable over an electric adjustable desk? PRICE is right! The crank is not difficult at all and only takes a few seconds vs an electric with single or dual motor where I would have to worry about the motor going out in the future. (I plan to keep this desk for many many many years). Motor will eventually go out and would have to look for another or fix it yourself. The size of the desk was perfect for portability going through doors from one room to the next while most electric stand up desk have it too wide for it and/or buy the desktop separate.
I mainly work from home as I run businesses from home and part of it is graphic designing. Working from home has its pros and cons depending on discipline you are and that discipline can change from time to time. You can easily get lazy or lose focus from distraction because you a re at home thus why I move from master bedroom to another room to family room, to even outside to find my zone or just to wherever I feel like working. I can stand up and sit while working and if I get tired I use the *Brenton Studios Jaffin Active Stool to rest my butt on it. If I want to work lazy while watching TV in the family room, I can move my desk near the recliner, prop my foot up and pull out the monitor out attached to *Amazon Basic single arm mount and it extends far, high, light, rotate, tilt and everything to move it where I need it to be. Laying down on the bed as well is just the same and adjusting the desk height, easy as a crank.] Even if I have a party at home I can roll my desk out and use my computer as a karaoke system by using youtube (type karaoke before the song), connect my analog mixer (Yamaha MG06X) along with my mics (Shure SM58-LC) and output the sound to my living room system, or my *Altec Lansing ALP-X800 if outside by line in all you need is the cable 3.5 to rca to aux converters. It rocks. To complete my system Im just waiting for soundbar to come down in price or refurbished (preferably the Yamaha MusicCast Bar 400) to attach to my monitor on the mount with *Mount-it Soundbar Bracket and mount the sub on the left side of the foot of my desk opposite of my stool (Brenton Studios Jaffin Active Stool).
All the power is attached to the Tripp Lite Surge Protector, although its only 3 AC plugs I only use 2 mainly for monitor (which charges my macbook pro underneath the desk using just a piece of wood and mounted with *Mintcraft TWC0534-3L Pipe Strap) and 1 for the light. The other will go to my soundbar once I receive it. 2 USB ports will charge my phone, ipad, or my apple pencil. I don’t really need the sound bar since I have 2 homepods, apple express that connects to an old subwoofer, a Sonos Beam just received and can airplay but just want sound with a direct connection since that is limited to my bedroom. I tried to connect the Sonos Beam directly to my macbook pro but 2017 they took out SPDIF stereo out and can’t directly connect to it. I plan on returning the Beam back to bestbuy since it gets out of sync with my music or appleTV and cant justify that price tag. Back to the Tripp Lite, its great because it clamps on my desk with a 10ft cord so I can just plug it anywhere and have the reachability without the cord getting in the way. When I move the desk, I used the *Multifunction Desktop Binder Clamp Clip to roll my power cord and hang on it. I’ve purchased the Bestek Surge Protector and mounted that on my headboard. I love that thing because of the six outlet, 4 USB with one of them on Quickcharge. I was planning to buying another to mount it to this desk but cons of it 1) I would waste the perfect use of my Tripp Lite that’s conveniently place right next to my monitor mount 2) I would probably have to mount it underneath my desk somewhere and make it hard to get to rather that on the top. 3) The cord is 6ft compared to the Tripp Lite’s 10ft and limit my portability of my desk.
The cleanliness of my desk (at least most times when working and not like how pictured above lol) goes because of these accessories:
*AmazonBasics Premium Single Monitor Stand – Clears desk space and can extend far, up, down, tilt, swivel and rotate to where I need it depending I put the workstation
*Tripp Lite 3 Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip with Desk Clamp – Its out of the way and stays right next my monitor stand. Cord is long for portability.
*Phive LED Lamp – Clamps on to my desk rather than on top of it. I can slide it anywhere, adjust the arms to where I need it (high or low). Has great lighting when I need it and is dimmable to what I want depending on time of day.
*Self Stick Pencil Tray – Under Desk Holder Pop-up Pen Strorage Drawer Organizer – I need to use pens and this gets rid of the clutter of having a cup or pen holder on the desk with pens. It just hides underneath my desk and if I need a pen, I just push it in to pop out the storage case. Its mounted just by 3M tape which is very strong and perfect for pens because not a lot of weight to it.
*Multifunction Desktop Binder Clamp Clip – I actually have 2. I used to hold my pens in a cup and put that cup on the binder clip. I’ve gon away from it because of the storage pencil above but now use it to perfectly hold my power cord. I hang it from there when moving my desk or clamp the cord underneath it so it gets out of the way.
*HyperX Fury S Speed Edition – Pro Gaming Mouse Pad X-Large - This pad is XL and great. It covers my desk perfectly and can move my keyboard and mouse with out needing to move a tiny mouse pad and have my keyboard half on or half off the little pad. And because I move around using this desk, I can just move my keyboard and mouse to any corner or middle of the desk depending on how Im using the desk. I also use it to stash papers underneath.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015I actually tried to purchase this product several months back but it was out of stock and I ended up buying two Ergotron LX mounts instead LX Desk Mount LCD Arm. So, first thing's first. The Amazon Basics mount is essentially a reverse engineered LX with very few differences. So, first, I'll talk about the Amazon Basics and then I'll give some comparisons to the LX.
Installation - super easy. Attach the VESA plate to your monitor that's attached to the arm, attach the desk mount, and then just put them together. There are a couple of adjustments that can be made - you can lock the collar on the arm that mounts onto the desk pole. I like to keep mine up a bit higher so I locked the collar near the top of the pole. The other adjustment is tightening the springs in the arms. This is done with the allen key wrench that's provided. Couldn't get much easier.
Look / Feel - the Amazon Basics mount feels sturdy - metal in all the places you'd expect it to be for structural rigidity and plastic in the areas that don't warrant the strength. The style is very blah - if you want black, then you're in luck, because there's a lot of it. It's not unattractive by any means but it won't draw any attention either.
Comparison with the Ergotron LX
I hate to beat a dead horse, but the Amazon version really is a blatant copy of the Ergotron. From the packaging (from what I can remember) all the way down to the cable management design on the arm, it's nearly identical.
One area where the Ergotron wins out is in the style department. Not only are they excellent mounts, but they are very nice to look at. Where the Amazon mount gets the job done and won't create an eye sore, you'll actually want to have your ergotrons on display. They really do look nice.
Another slight difference between the two is the depth of the locking knob on the Amazon. It is a little lower than the one on the Ergotron. I have a space that's 4" tall in the back of my desk for hiding wires and the Amazon knob was nearly touching the bottom of that space. The Ergotron maybe had an inch of room before the bottom. Both are effective and do the job well, just the Amazon version is a little taller.
One thing that I wasn't able to compare was the tension strength in the arm itself. My Ergotron mounts are holding some heavy machinery. I'm using one Ergotron LX to mount one of the Apple Thunderbolt displays and the other is holding an LG 34" Ultrawide display. That Thunderbolt is heavy. The Amazon mount is holding an Asus monitor ASUS PB278Q 27" WQHD 2560x1440 PLS/ IPS DisplayPort HDMI DVI-D VGA Ergonomic Back-lit LED Monitor that isn't near the weight of either of the other two mentioned. It's holding the display perfectly but I don't know how it would fare with the Thunderbolt display. Not saying it won't handle it, but I really don't know.
So, the bottom line is this. I can highly recommend this monitor mount. If your primary goal is to get some desk space back and to be able to move your monitor around when you need to, this is an excellent mount. If you want something that's quite a bit prettier and were the original designers to boot, I'd grab the Ergotron LX Desk Mount LCD Arm.

5.0 out of 5 stars 下向きは無理…VESAプレートの可動域がショボイ
メインモニターの上に配置するためにロングポールではなく壁掛け用を購入。
こちらはエルゴトロンのOEM品なので耐久性や品質は折り紙付きです。
残念だったのが首の可動域で、メインモニターの上に配置しているため、やや下向きにしたかったのですが、
こちらの商品はVESAプレートを下向きにできません。真正面から上向きまでの5度から70度が限界です。
液タブにエルゴトロンLXも使用しているのに、なぜ気づかなかったのだろうと一人で嘆いております。
可動域についてはこのページの説明には一切書かれていないので、同じ用途の方は仕様が一緒なエルゴトロンLXのページを一度確認してみることをお勧めします。
ちなみに「エルゴトロン 下向き 改造」で検索すると下向きにしている人の方法がいろいろと出てきます。
それと、こちら壁に取り付けるためにM8x80mmの六角ボルトを使用しますが、ドライバーやラチェットレンチ等の工具は付属していません。
(コンクリート用のアンカーは付いてきます。石膏ボードでは厳しいのではないかと思いますが、使用できるか不明です。)
私は木の柱に電動ドリルで穴を開け、付属のボルトを13mmのレンチで締めました。
LXアームなので当然安定感は抜群で、可動域以外は完璧な商品です。

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid. Great articulation. Works well on desks with live edge
First off, a tip for users with dual monitors: don't buy a "dual mount"; they're very hard to configure, the "elbows" get in each others' way, etc. Instead, buy 2 single arm mounts. I bought one of these to test out, LOVED it, and bought the 2nd ASAP. Also, for users with desks with a "live edge", you'll be happy to know that the clamp is set back far enough to "bite" the flat part of your desk See my pics. You _could_ drill through your desk if you really needed to. One last thing before I get to the usual things people mention... I couldn't help but notice that this "Amazon" branded product has a an "Ergotron patent" stamped into the plate. Either this product uses the same technology as Ergotron, or it IS an Ergotron with Amazon branding. Either way, it's a SOLID arm. I have no idea what other reviewers are complaining about, but after you set up these arms, they DO. NOT. MOVE. They stay in place WAY better than my monitors did when sitting on stands. Furthermore, mine are mounted on a sit\stand desk, which goes up & down several times a day. The monitors stay still. Despite that, they are VERY manoeuvrable, and have MANY points of articulation, so you can put them in just about any position. Look at my pics, and notice how the 2 of them support mismatched monitors just fine. I've got them positioned EXACTLY where I want them, and they were very easy to get into this position. This is one of the better purchases I've made in a LONG time. I highly recommend this arm!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!!!!

Switchen tussen staand of zittend werken gaat nu zonder problemen en je bureau houd meer ruimte over.
Aanrader!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great arm that supports a AW3423DW
Initially tried the Dell MSA20 with the AW3423DW however the tilt on that arm couldn't support the weight of the AW3423DW and it kept eventually tilting down and there was no tension adjustment for the tilt only the height. The Amazon basics arm has tension adjustments for both height and tilt so I was able adjust both and get it to support the weight of the AW3423DW with no wobble while using it.
