Works great with my dual 27" monitors
By JOSHUA on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2018
I purchased two Acer K272HUL monitors and the included stands were at a set height. Because of my desk that has a steel bar that runs along each side underneath, getting a dual monitor stand that mounts to the desk with a clamp was not an option. This is a great alternative and really cleans up your desk space. The clamps for cable management are great too. If anyone has any doubts about the stability of the stand with two 27" monitors, any instability is only due to the fact that the arms need to be folded in a 'W' shape, not a double arc. If you attempt to keep the arms in a double arc and set the stand upright with the two monitors, the stand will easily tip over. Once I folded the arms in a 'W' shape, the stand was perfectly stable and has withstood my adjustments to the positioning and angles of the monitors without any concern of tipping over. Overall the quality of the hardware feels really good too. I would definitely not hesitate to use it on a more expensive monitor setup if I were to upgrade in the future. Just be very careful if you decide to set the monitors back down on a flat surface while mounted to the stand, as the arms will swing together and cause your monitors to collide. I had quite a scare when it happened earlier, but fortunately no damage was done.Edit: Not going to change my review, but one thing that is extremely annoying and a fail on the part of the engineer(s) is that the bolt for the adjustment for forward and rear tilt on the left arm is on the inside of the arm. Having to reach over the arm of the stand and the monitor both simultaneously to tighten and loosen the bolt that enables the monitor to tilt forward or backward is extremely troublesome. On the right arm this is not an issue, because the bolt head is on the outside so you simply can reach around the side to tighten or loosen the bolt. Being a mechanic, I fortunately have the tools. I was able to use a long handle ratchet with a hex socket to tighten/loosen the bolt on the left arm. I really do not feel like the included hex tool is adequate for this adjustment and you will be cursing the engineer(s) in no time if you try to get the monitor to sit level without a good ratchet and hex socket. I would also strongly suggest you have a small plastic level to check the monitors as you make your adjustments to get the monitor to sit level, because the bolt has to be very tight and will have a tendency to droop slightly if it is not tightened adequately. If I had to guess, I'd say I used approximately 30 to 40 ft-lbs of torque on the bolts that control the monitors ability to tilt.

Perhaps I should have purchased a different model.

So I wrote a review and in it I was irritated about a missing tool and how disappointing that was. At the time I was irritated. I was not in a place to get the tool and could not finish was I was suppose to.When the sun came up the next day I began to think, maybe that was overboard. A wrench... mmmmm... okay I will go back and update it. I saw the below response about the overreacting after I came back to edit this. I will read it completely when I am done with this.I purchased this item as newbie with no experience in monitor rack systems. When there are sets that cost 1,000 dollars or more, perhaps hanging 4 very expensive monitors off of something I paid less than 100 for was not a smart decision.For the price point I got exactly what I paid for maybe next time I will pay more.The sellers have been great, the product is what it is and is what they claim it is, I just didn't have a reference for what to look for, ask for, or expect. Even if the sellers offered to let me return the product I could not because my kids made a mess of the boxes. Oh well. It will stay up for now until I figure out what I want and then I will take it down and replace it.You may opt to screw this down or clamp it down. It has not fallen over but the amount of vibrations, and wiggle, etc is cause for concern. These are not coffee mugs they are 27in monitors hanging in the air, if they fall over this is going to get expensive really quick. A small c clamp in the back should do the job or just drill through it and screw it to the desk for security. Maybe it is just my personal preference.
