EVEOPremium Dual Monitor Mount 14"-35” Dual Monitor Arm VESA Bracket Adjustable Height Gas Spring Dual Monitor Stand, Screen Full Motion Dual Monitor Arm-Computer Monitor Stand for 2 Screens - Black

[1] Many table-top desks have unlimited clearance underneath and there for any old mount would suffice. Unfortunately, my new desk has a back panel with a hole leaving only 2.5" of clearance. I didn't plan things well, so I needed to chuck my old mount and find a specific mount to fit this desk.This mount has great form factor in the mount/base. My desk is exactly 2 inches thick with 2.5" max. clearance on the bottom side. The clamp mount fits perfectly and securely with room the spare. The bottom lip of the clamp is about 1/4" thick and would probably fit almost any narrow space.The top lip of the clamp -- visible above the desk -- doesn't look half bad either. It looks like it belongs there. It also has padded feet so as to minimize/eliminate any damage to the desk surface.After mounting everything, I noticed my monitors needed to be centered differently. All it took was a few turns of the bolt/screw to loosen the entire base and then I could slide it sideways, position, and retighten it. I appreciate the fact that I didn't need to juggle anything (or climb under the desk) in order to reposition everything.[2] My old mount was a single unit, which made it unwieldily and risky to install by myself. I could never figure out how to attach the monitors after mounting the rig, so I'd always end up lifting and attaching everything -- mount, arms, and monitors -- as a single giant unit. Ever broken a sweat while setting up your monitors?Their claim of "5 minute installation" isn't really an exaggeration, though I'd say more like 10 minutes if you count the cable management. For each arm of this mount there are 3 separate, well-designed and well-fitting pieces.: the VESA plate which attaches to the monitor, the top part of each arm, and the bottom part of the arm which attaches to the mount.I really appreciate the fact that the VESA plate is a separate "quick release" unit, which means I can simply snap my monitor on and off the arm, as needed.[3] The form-factor of the arms is great. It looks and feels high-end. I have two 27" curved monitors and was able to get the full, side-by-side, curved layout that I'm accustomed to.My only complaint -- if you can even call it that -- is that in order to position my monitors lower to the desk, the arms would need to extend 3-6 inches behind the desk, requiring the extra clearance to do that. I can't really fault the mount for that though, as I don't see how else it would work.[4] The arms also included nifty cable management. Each arm has a detachable back plate where you can run your display and power cables. The fitting is tight, so it could be a problem if your cables are extra thick. I was able to make it work, though it was a tiny bit frustrating. The end result looks amazing though -- cables completely out of view.[5] Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this purchase. Almost every other model with the same style of arms does not have the same style of base/mount, so I'm more than willing to pay the extra $20-30 to get the perfect mount for my desk and monitors.

• Amazing clamp mechanism with the bolt on the top used to tighten the otherwise flat and padded C-clamp which made installation much simpler for me, as I needed to cut a slot in my desk to do the clamp. Having that be flat instead of bulky was great. A+ design, it was one of the major reasons I picked EVEO!• Arms are sturdy and all the metal is thick and high quality. Great powder coat. Overall very high quality fit and finish with good attention to detail.• Love the big sturdy tool for tightening the bolt for the clamp. I wish it had been an all-in-one tool that handled every bolt or screw on the entire unit for simplicity, but I still loved the size and quality of the tool and the slot to keep it on the back of the base so I don’t lose it. I’d also have liked it painted black to blend in when slotted back there.• Love the included Velcro ties!• Love the thumb screws, on the VESA mounts!The not as good:• Cable management space in the lower arms could use a bit of improvement. I wish they had a little more space and the sliding mechanism, which inexpensive, reliable, and good looking doesn’t allow the smoothest interaction trying to add or remove cables especially if you have many of them. I think something could be done to improve this whether it’s adding a bit of depth to the plastic to give more interior space or redesigning it as a whole with a hinge or some other closing mechanism. Your stuff will still fit but with a bit of force.• The cable management plastic piece on the upper arm comes off the arm too easily. I’d also like to see a second tie down for cables on the upper arm.• The cable management plastic piece on the base slides out very easily. I expected it to clip in but it doesn’t seem to.• I had to tighten the allen screws holding the VESA brackets to the plastic slides (the ones that say TOP with an arrow) because they came quite loose with a lot of play. I did like that they took the same wrench as the rotation lock mechanism set screws.• The rotation lock mechanism is not great and even tightened down I can’t really get it to lock. I think this could use improvement, though it’s only a minor thing for me.Overall it’s a 9/10 for me and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a sturdy monitor arm but doesn’t want to pay $300.
