Mount-It! seems to make quality, solid products, including this desk. It is exactly what I was looking for and as good as I hoped. The one downside, which I expected, is that the desk shakes a bit in use--it can be seen in the product video and others have mentioned this. It hasn't bothered me so far and is no problem with typing or mousing, and I don't think it would be possible to be any better than it is with this design. My desk is not the most solid, and it works just fine.It is massive, and every bit as big as expected from the dimensions. That said, I'm using this on a 24\ x 48\" desk
After trying multiple options I finally have a stand option for my HUTCH! Yep - nothing else worked but with a little \engineering\" this worked out well. See the pics of how I put this on a hutch. The max heigh of my hutch is 23\" and the depth of the hutch is 24\". What I did was place a block of wood on the bottom of the tower/pole to raise it enough to \"clamp\" the top to the wood at the very top of the hutch while the bottom was still low enough to connect to wood going across the bottom (heavier wood not the thin stuff that panels the back). I had a piece of thin metal that I drilled a holes in and screwed into the wood on the top and bottom which \"firmly\" holds the pole. And there is just engouh room between the pole and the thin panel to rotate. This thing is super sturdy - it hardly moves at all when typing. It does protrude from the hutch a good bit as expted. I do believe it is much more sturdy than the desk mount as the top and bottom are firmly connected. The keyboard is 8-9\" from the edge of the hutch which is a bit odd but no problems as I still can easily reach the hutch top for anything needed and the old desk keyboard tray rolls out nicely right below the mount giving more handy space for stickies
It's a great, well-built product with only a little bounce. Very easy to raise and lower, and the cables are well kept.My two complaints are that the monitors are mounted parallel to each other instead of being tilted inward a little to face the user; and they are not easily adjustable vertically. I wear contacts most of the time but occasionally need to wear glasses. My glasses have progressive lenses, meaning I have to tilt my head backwards to see the screen properly. I really need to be able to easily adjust the monitors lower on those days.
Solid Product. Need an additional person to fix it. You can rotate and adjust height etc. Little shaky while typing in the keyboard(it may be because my table which is holding the workstation is not firm). Overall, like the materiel. Highly recommend for home office.
Solves my back problems beautifully. I have a Mac so assembly was a little more difficult. I gave it 4 stars because it takes up a lot more room than I thought it would. My office is very small. Also, it would be good to explain that if you desk is not a table, there will be a need to drill into the back side of the desk in order to get the clasp on. This made installation a bear. Other than that, it is of good quality and it SAVED my back.
