This is a very solidly built mount and way better looking than traditional dual mounts. I think the worst thing about it was the directions on how to put it together. I'll list a few things I wish I would have known below.
Important Stuff
- It needs a minimum of 3 inches behind it from its base with the grommet install and a bit more with the C Clamp.
- You will receive two plates in the box, one complete circle plate and another circle plate with a lip. These are for grommet or C Clamp mounting. There will also be a thin adhesive covering that comes in the box, you put this covering on whichever mounting plate you decide to use so it doesn't scratch your desk.
(If you just follow the directions it doesn't indicate this AT ALL. By the time I figured out that I wanted to use the C Clamp mount, it was already stuck to the Grommet mount plate and I had to peel it off. This is because the directions are separated for the C Clamp and Grommet Mount instead of just being joined together and then giving you alternate paths to follow when you reach this point.)
Also, I assume people who purchase this mount especially at $50 are buying it because they don't have a ton of clearance behind their desk and are looking for a slim option that doesn't hang over too far:
*Quick tip - if you can, definitely use the grommet mount, the C Clamp pushes the base of the stand almost 6 inches on to the desk which isn't ideal (especially for me and my cozy 11 inch Nyc desk). I went to the hardware store and bought a set of drill tips for 3.99 (Drill Bit Size: 5/16), drilled a hole and it gave me way more space. It looks WAY better, and is more secure also!
And finally, the cross rail is counter-intuitive, you would think that you slide the screen mounter down into the clamps but this is not the case, you slide it up into each clamp and then secure the screws on the top and side.
Also, it does allow your monitors to pivot from side to side and up and down but its a bit harder then you would expect to get it to move but rightfully so the monitors stay how you adjust them.
Overall looks great, solid build quality, and serves its purpose. I almost deducted a point for the bad instructions but I won't because the mount does exactly what its intended for at a reasonable price since there are so few options.
Oh! and Yes the monitors also can be slid horizontally so your monitors can be seamless. This is another point that wasn't displayed in the listing but was so dope that they included.
