Desk Space Saver
on June 4, 2024
Posted by: AdaTheTeacher
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Monitor Arms are great space savers. I have small desk in my bedroom and my works space is minimum. I grade paper, write lesson plans, laminate and so much more. I have my laptop and monitor on my desk so after receiving the monitor arm and finally getting it connected it cleared up some space and it saved my neck. I felt more productive because I had space. I feel like I can get the second monitor that I've been wanting, and I may have to try the dual monitor arms. "I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review."
Pros: strong, sturdy, easy to move
Cons: putting it together
I would recommend this to a friend!

Enjoy this very much

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. When I assembled this product I did get confused about which screws attached the arm together but I figured it out later. I feel like once you get the ball rolling from there it’s easy to attach the monitor, but it has a sleek professional style however I am using it for leisure since I’musing my laptop as a television.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Strong and sturdy
on May 12, 2024
Posted by: 2ndGradeTeacher
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor arm is solidly built. I have never used one before and It is nice to have the monitor at a higher level so I can keep my head level. I can tilt the monitor in different angles so it is comfortable for me and it stays put. The clamp is much smaller than my monitor base, so I have more room on the desk. It does have a few parts to put together, but it comes with tools as well as a variety of screws to fit any monitor. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Armed to improve productivity
on May 7, 2024
Posted by: DeeMac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product came carefully packaged and parts labeled well. I liked that it can be attached to the desk by either clamp or grommet. The gas spring makes for very smooth adjustment of the monitor. The arm is easily adjusted in a great variety of positions for eye and neck comfort. Love that it frees up more desk space in my home office plus provides 2 easily accessed USB ports. More productive now in my research work with use of laptop and monitor screens. Larger pictures in directions would speed up installation. I found the pictures showing proper monitor tilt adjustment confusing. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: adjusts easily, sturdy and heavy duty
Cons: pictures too small in the directions.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Solid Monitor Arm
on May 1, 2024
Posted by: SteveG
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received the Fellowes Platinum Series Single Monitor Arm and am using it to hold my wife's 24 inch monitor. Directions for assembly are traditional 'flat pack' style instructions with minimal wording, but fairly easy to understand. The arm took about 20-25 minutes to put together and install on her desk with the included desk clamp. The arm can also be attached directly to a desk with an included bracket and long screw. All tools are provided, except for an Allen screwdriver. The arm is capable of holding up to a 32 inch, 17.6 pound monitor, with traditional VESA mounting holes. I found the arm to be quite sturdy and well built. After assembly and mounting the monitor, no tension adjustment was needed, although multiple adjustments can be made for balance and tension. Plastic cord holders are provided on the rear of the arm to hold both power and HDMI cables, and the arm's base also includes two integrated USB ports, with attached cabling for the computer. The monitor can be easily moved in any direction once mounted on the arm. Overall, this is a well put together accessory that will also free up space on your desk or computer table.
I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Well made and engineered for any configuration
on April 24, 2024
Posted by: GentlemanJim
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The main reason for getting a monitor arm was to open up my desktop by eliminating the stand for my 24” monitor. Since I have several products from Fellowes that I like, when I was offered the chance to test out their 8043301 Platinum Series Single Monitor Arm I jumped at the opportunity to try it out. The arm comes in a box with all of the parts – and then some! – carefully packaged in labeled pouches. As I took the arm and components out of the box I was impressed by the excellent quality of the machining; the arm is sturdy and heavy duty. All of the parts are very well made. I was especially glad to see that there was an extra part included in almost every pouch, so you won’t be stymied if you happen to lose a piece. Another thing that impressed me is that they had parts for any configuration you might need. There are two options for mounting – a clamp if you have a lip on the rear side of your desk or a long, heavy bolt and bracket if you have a grommet hole instead. In addition, the clap can be configured in two ways to adjust to the thickness of your desktop.
Since the produce is sold internationally the instructions are with pictures and no description. The parts are clearly labeled in the instructions and on the pouches. At first I was unsure why there were so many pouches labeled with an “M-“ prefix, but figured it out. Once again Fellowes is allowing for your particular configuration and each of those pouches is for a different length and thread-count in order to accommodate whatever brand of monitor you might have.
It took me just under an hour to assemble the arm and clamp it onto my desk. Then it took me a while to figure out the best way to position the arm to fit my setting. The arm comes out of the box with the base turned sideways. At first, I turned the arm so it faces the front of the base but that configuration required the desk to be too far from the wall. I ended up turning the arm back to the way it had come out of the box, parallel with the wall, in order to put the desk back where it had been. Between the multiple ways in which the arm can be positioned and the wide range of movement for the monitor, there is an almost infinite number of possibilities. That’s what I kept discovering – the engineers who designed it have made it so it can be adapted to almost any setting.
When you are finished, they even have provided two holes on the rear of the clamp in which to store the two allen wrenches in case you need to make any adjustments in the future (most likely for the monitor weight or tilt, but also for the monitor screws if you change models later). Another nice feature is that there are two USB-A ports on the front of the base with long cords provided to reach the ports on your computer. The bottom line is I am very happy with the quality and flexibility of the arm. It does exactly what I hoped it would do – and now I have more free space on my desktop.

This is a great addition to my home office!
on April 24, 2024
Posted by: Justannoyed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very pleased with this monitor arm. I am a tall person and the base that came with my monitor forced me to tilt my head downward while keyboarding. This Fellowes monitor arm allows me to be able to look straight ahead at the monitor thus relieving a lot of stress on my neck. I can't think of a better addition to my variable height desk! Although I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review I recommend it for anyone who is considering making a purchase of this type of device.
Pros: easy assembly, extremely adjustable
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are so happy to hear your feedback, Justannoyed! Using a monitor arm certainly reduces neck, eye and shoulder strain and we are so glad your experience has been a positive one. Thank you for sharing!
