Amazon Basics Single Monitor Stand - Height Adjustable Arm Mount, Steel, Black

Very easy and simple to build, I like the unique hole in middle of pole and cable management options this stand offers its very useful. Good size aswell montior can move well and there's good adjustability, the stand has a decent weight to it aswell and the build quality is very decent for price, definitely one of the better montior arms in this price range.

BACKGROUND--------------------------------------This is my second monitor stand - my first one was a single one from a different manufacturer, as I recently purchased a 24" screen to mount in portrait mode. The previous one was very sketchy with such a huge monitor on it, despite the monitor being within load limits....PROS--------------------------------------- MUCH easier tilt adjustment than previously - can hold my Samsung CF791 without falling (the CF791 is notorious for having an AWFUL VESA mount that makes keeping it still an extreme challenge)- Cable routing through the stand (when I get around to it...)- Nowhere near the amount of lean previously noticed with other screens- Easy angle/height adjustment even when locked in place without much undoing requiredCONS--------------------------------------- Still leans....see pictures. Not much of a con though, as short of a piece of structural steel, a 34" ultrawide will always make these stands lean- Dual base clamp wheels, which are tricky to get level, especially on IKEA desks where it's easy to overtighten and destroy the deskSUMMARY--------------------------------------This stand is night-and-day compared to what I had before, and I'm very impressed at it's value. The stand itself is huge in diameter, and has a really neat cable route that can fit kettle-leads and HDMI cables with ease. It leans, and bends, but this is to be expected, and it's very slight. It doesn't appear to be getting worse. It can also fit an ultrawide as long as you only use a 24" for the second screen - this current setup has maxed out the arm width, so a 27 would not fit. Nor would the 24 in landscape mode. Assembly was simple!FOR IKEA DESK USERS:This stand will have the same issues as any other with certain desks - if like me you've got a honeycomb desk, it'll crush it with the added weight of two monitors. I have fixed the slight lean in its entirety by cutting two pieces of solid wood, and sandwiching the desk between them where the monitor stand clamps. The stand is FAR stronger like this, as the load is spread out!

Bought this to support my 34" Samsung LS34J550WQRXXU WQHD Ultra Wide Monitor on an Ikea desk. No issues with it once in place. The monitor is happily supported even with the main support well off the monitor centre.Setting it up is a fiddly pain though - suggest disconnecting the VESA mount first, attaching that to the monitor, then plugging it on last (especially if your monitor is on the heavier side). The instructions are also a bit lacking - however all bits are provided, including two types of VESA mounting screws.Screen forward/back tilt adjustment is a bit janky (you need to tighten a screw on the mount), the way it was supplied had the monitor leaning forward, so needed adjustment out of the box. A tip is to over tighten it (so your monitor is facing up a bit), then manually pull the monitor down and it should hold position fine.The monitor / mount attachment clip is plastic and unfortunately a bit broke off when putting the monitor on (however it was entirely superficial). All the metal bits feel solid and well built.Overall good value for the price - and as stated will support monitors at a larger size than what is promised on the advert.

Was going to be super critical about this as it's slightly tarnished by the Amazon basics branding. But I really can't fault it. The construction is clean and well made. The supplied hardware is solid and packaged thoughtfully. The instructions are clear and concise. Works great as a monitor arm. Using it on a 27" aoc gaming monitor and it solid.One slight gripe is I wish they had supplied alternative mounts for desks with a lip under them but that more on me buying a cheap desk than this product.This product is excellent
