Great Product

I bought my MI-2781 a month ago, love it and recommend it to my fellow engineers working from home. It is a great product for the price. I was concerned the weight of my two 24" DELL monitors would make the free standing V base front heavy and front tipsy. This has not been an issue. The moment arm distance from the center of the vertical post to the front fulcrum line of the V base is about 8" and the center of mass of my 2 monitors is about 5.5". See my attached diagram. It would be helpful if the Mount-It website would include the 8" forward moment arm length in their diagram.
I did have an issue with the MI-2781A Installation Manual which I suspect is common for most Dell monitors. Step 5 of cannot be performed after step 4 because the VESA mount on the back of my Dell monitors is recessed about a quarter inch. In other words, it uses a carpenter's mortise and tenon joint. This is common to most of the Dell monitors I have used. After the VESA compatible plate is attached to the monitor per step 4, there is simply not enough clearance to perform step 5.
Instead, I had to do the following.
- undue step 4 (remove the plate from the back of my monitor),
- perform step 5 (attach the 2 plates to the arms),
- new step (lay both monitors face down on the floor),
- perform step 4 (attach the VESA compatible plates to the back of the two monitors),
- new step (lift and set the entire V-base assembly on my desk),
- then continue with installation step 6.
- undue step 4 (remove the plate from the back of my monitor),
- perform step 5 (attach the 2 plates to the arms),
- new step (lay both monitors face down on the floor),
- perform step 4 (attach the VESA compatible plates to the back of the two monitors),
- new step (lift and set the entire V-base assembly on my desk),
- then continue with installation step 6.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Its pretty good

Exactly what I needed, very good quality build parts, it let's you adjust the screens with many angle approaches, it even has a height adjustment for every screen mount so if your screens have a height difference due to a bigger frame or mount point you can adjust them all still to be the same height ( gives you an inch +/- of margin to play with) - not that common on these products.Note that if you plan not to attach the center pole to the table and simply place it as is with the base plate, you will limit yourself to the angle of how much you can turn the side monitors curved to your direction since the center-weight-point will be moved further then the base playe and it will fall forward. In my pictures you can see the maximum angle to curve without mounting the pole to the table.

This is a repeat buy. I have one at the office at work, and one in my office at home. I also have purchased one that is single swing arm for the detached office at home. This one has cable routing, holds 2 27" monitors with no sweat. If you are in the market for one of these, it works great.

The Negative Reviewers Must Lack Common Sense
on June 20, 2018
Posted by: Paul Baldwin
There are negative reviews about this product that almost made me 2nd guess purchase. They describe this mount being top heavy. Using common sense and moving the mounting arms lower on the center arm completely remedied that, if it was even an issue in the first place. I have a 27in monitor mounted center with 19.5 in monitors mounted vertically on either side. I NEVER have had even one problem with balance. This stand is well made and does require some aggressive tightening of joints in order to secure the angles you want, but well WELL worth the price compared to other 3 mounts stands.

Effective and a good value
on July 12, 2018
Posted by: Matt Heath
These are very effective and a good value. Easy to assemble and came with a good selection of alternate mountings and screws for a variety of monitors and their backings. Took away one star because the joints were seriously hard to tighten or loosen in some spots. That said, once I was able to position in a way I liked, they look and work great.

This would be much better if the base legs were longer for better security
on June 28, 2018

This is indeed a heavy duty unit but depending on the weight of the monitor and the distance from the mid point it can start to tip over with the slightest imbalance. This would be much better if the base legs were longer for better security.

I had 1 mounted monitor and two on stands, but limited desk space. This was an excellent solution. Very happy!

It was a pretty basic install on the mount part

It was a pretty basic install on the mount part, switching to a real wood tabletop so might switch to the one that goes into the desk. The only problem I had was getting the monitors alligned
