I bought this adapter to help mount a Dell monitor with a curved back onto a repositionable arm. Instructions were pretty clear, but it still took me a little time and patience to get everything to go together correctly. (A second pair of hands would have helped me, but I installed it myself.)
Use an adjustable wrench and allow an hour to install

It does what it's supposed to do, but it took me almost an hour to make it work. The directions are just illustrations, which are neither detailed nor large. The little wrench is terrible. It's just a bit too big and doesn't grip the nuts very well, so I ended up using an adjustable wrench. At first, I put the VESA plate on backwards, but then I realized my mistake. Here are my installation takeaways: - Don't tighten anything down too much because you'll need to adjust the arm length and placement. The little hook-grippy-things shouldn't be tightened all the way, either. - Don't put more than one bolt in the sliding metal arms. I started by putting two in each arm, but ended up using just one in each arm. I think it's easier to add them than to take them out. - Maybe it's obvious to everyone else, but it didn't occur to me that the different length bolts for the hook-grippy-things were to accommodate different monitor depths. I'm glad I used the medium-length bolt on the first try! - The little buttons that cover the bolts on the hook-grippy-things have an interior spoke that's longer than the others. That spoke fits into a groove in the hook-grippy-things. Don't waste your time forcing that button into the hole.Overall, I think it's a good product. It holds the monitor just fine and attaches to my monitor mount's VESA plate, so it works. Just make sure you have a Phillips-head screwdriver, an adjustable wrench and a good hour to toy with it.
Not great for curved monitors. Solid construction, but the small screws will strip.

Product is solid, except for the small screws which attach to a nut between the adapter and the VESA mount. They stripped for me after trying the 3 configurations shown in the instructions.I was not able to use the adapter with this monitor: because the placement of the ports on the back of the monitor did not agree with any configuration, causing the monitor to not be usable with the adapter attached.
After a few hours dedicated to lots of adjustments my husband got it to work. The biggest complaint is the tool that comes with it to tighten the nut and bolt. It is cheap and really is not the right size to get the job done we used pliers instead.
The Mount-It bracket was a little confusing at first to get onto the monitor but once I figured it out it's worked great.

I have a Samsung monitor and an Asus. The Samsung didn't have a VESA mounting setup and I needed a way to mount it to a two monitor mount. The Mount-It bracket was a little confusing at first to get onto the monitor but once I figured it out it's worked great.
This is a great product. More than enough pieces to adjust for any monitor construction. If I change monitors in the future I can easily change out and mount the new monitor.
