VIVO Dual LCD LED Monitor Desk Mount Stand There is a reason this has a #1 Best Seller flag on it. Its extremely good for what you are paying for it. I wanted to get my desk cleared off and was seriously thinking about getting a second monitor to use. I came across this on amazon and decided to give it a try. I had read through a lot of the reviews. Most of them were good to excellent and some were not. I was hoping my experience was going to be better than some of theirs. The first thing I noticed when i received this mount was just how heavy the boxes containing it were. I was expecting some heft. I mean this has to support two monitor up to 27 inches each, but it was heavier than I was anticipating. I found most of the parts inside wrapped in plastic and in good condition. I followed the instructions and did not have any problem assembling this item. You attach the clamp to the post first, then mount that part on your desk where you want it. The clamp seems plenty strong enough to hold it. Just make sure your desk is strong enough. I have a all steel tanker desk so it was not problem for me. If you have a thin top you might want to think about placing a piece of wood under the desk in the clamp to help distribute the weight of the monitors. I would not mount this too glass at all. That might be a common sense thing, but just a warning. After mounting the clamp/pole to the desk, you will want to place the vesa mounts on the monitors. This kit came with handy thumbscrews just for this, and they worked great. I did not need any special adapters for my monitors, both were 100x100 vesa mount compatible and the plates fit it perfectly. The mounts attached to the monitors will slide onto the plate on the post. This also worked great for me. No issue. Once you get the monitors on the arms, there is a tiny screw cap for the back to make sure the monitors stay on the arms. I will not be rotating my so this isn't an issue, but I put them there anyways. The post does have height adjustment, do not do this with the monitors on the arms. Take them off then adjust the post. Put them back on and repeat as necessary until where you want them. I saw some reviewers talking about how they could not keep the monitors level. I am going to guess that they have faulty kits. I have no problem here. The joint that allows the monitor to rotate seem nice and tight, but also easily movable if I wanted them too. The tilt of the monitor can be adjust up or down and then tighten with the included allen wrench. I am sporting a 24 inch monitor on the left and a 27 inch monitor on the right with absolutely no physical problems. The multiple points of articulation in the arms made moving my monitors around a breeze. They stay where I put them too. There are hooks for cable management which do help a lot in keeping a clean look. I could only use some of it because of a short power cord and dvi cable. You can see from the photos that the post is leaning forward ever so slightly. It does not seem to be going any further and it is extremely stable. One thing I can highly recommend is an Aukey LED gooseneck clamp light. It will clamp right to one of the arms and reaches over the monitors. It provides good light and runs off USB power. It looks like it belongs with the mount. I could not be happier with how that turned out. I am completely satisfied with this mount. I love it. I recommend it to anybody who needs to get their monitors off the desk and more at eye level.

Poor execution

I used this mount for two 32" monitors. I was concerned that descriptions of such stands supporting "up to 32 in" monitors might mean they support 32" monitors in a straight line only. I didn't see any reviews of such mounts that clearly said two 32" monitors could be mounted together *and* be angled toward the user. Thus, I looked for one to support bigger monitors. The design is of a pretty normal, adjustable, dual-monitor mount. However, I must compare it with a WALI mount I had with my previous 24" monitors. Here are the features: * Both mounts offer brackets that attach to the VESA mount with screws which are slipped down over small metal plates on the ends of the arms, secured with an acorn nut. That design makes it relative easy to attach the monitor to the end of the arms. (Imagine otherwise having a VESA mount on the ends of the arms and having to hold up a monitor while screwing the mount to the back of the monitor.) * The VIVO has spring loaded attachment plates on the ends of the arms, while the WALI provides no spring to help offset the weight of the monitor to keep it from tipping down. The WALI relies on loosening and tightening a hex screw to provide enough friction while, ideally, allowing the user to tilt the monitor. * Both mounts have the same number of joints in the arms. * Both mounts offer clamp or grommet attachment. (I used the grommet mount, which required drilling a hole and putting a bolt up through the hole from beneath.) * Both mounts offer cable guides on the arms and one on the pole. There are significant quality differences between the two, however: * The thumb screws to attach the VESA mounting plate for the VIVO have plastic tops with Phillips head slots on the end. By contrast, the WALI has metal machine screws enclosed by plastic bumpers. The significant point is that the screwdriver tears up the plastic heads on the VIVO screws and using the knurled edges doesn't work well when trying to make them tight, while the WALI metal screws are easy to tighten with a screwdriver. * Many of the VESA mount screws for the VIVO had bad threads. That made it much more likely to tear up the plastic heads. I used the screws from the WALI mount instead. They all had properly machined threads. * The threads on the bolt that secures the pole through the hole in the desk, or the threads inside the pole, were not machined correctly, so screwing the bolt far enough into the pole to make the mount tight was very difficult. (No, I didn't cross-thread it.) What's more, the attached handle is awkward to turn while holding the support plate in place under the desk (not to mention being hard to use when the threads were faulty). By contrast, the WALI uses a hex head bolt, so one can use a socket to tighten it easily while holding the support plate in place. * The support plate used under the desk for grommet mounting is surprisingly small on the VIVO. It is much smaller than the plate provided with the WALI. The softer the wood of the desk, the more this matters. The VIVO plate would be more likely to cut into soft wood. * Every adjustment point of the VIVO arms is stiff and I was unable to loosen any of the screws to address that. (I was bending the included hex wrench trying to loosen the adjustment screws!) By contrast, the WALI screws were easy to adjust. For example, pushing one monitor farther back rotates the arms on the pole, despite making the clamp on the pole very tight, all because the joint close to the pole is very tight. * The cable management clips on the VIVO are stiff plastic. Those on the WALI are more flexible. The stiff plastic might prove brittle over time, or it may not be significant. In the end, the mount is holding up my monitors and, with some struggle, I've gotten them positioned where I want them. However, if I decide to adjust them further, it will be another struggle. Had I been able to trust that the WALI mount for 32" monitors would allow them to be angled and not just arranged in a straight line, I would have purchased that. Overall, I'm quite disappointed in this mount and would think long and hard before buying another of this brand. I should also mention that the elbows of the support arms extend about 8" behind the pole when the monitors touch just in front of the pole. That means I must pull my desk farther from the wall. A mount designed for 32" monitors would not extend so far behind the pole.
