MOUNTUP Monitor Mount Reinforcement for Tempered Glass Desk, Monitor Arm Plate, Steel Bracket for Thin and Most Fragile Table, for Desk C Clamp Installation of Monitors Stand

So if you attach a heavy object to the end of a long arm, there's going to be a lot of twisting force at the base of where that object is attached. It's the same reason why holding a weight very far away from your body is harder than holding it close to yourself. When I installed my monitor on a very long cantilever arm mount and then attached it to the inexpensive desk I purchased from Amazon, I was afraid that I could possibly have the whole thing rip from its base and destroy the composite board desk and the monitor in the process. Luckily the desk is designed in a way that I was able to mount both the upper and lower plates to the desk, this allows the force that is clamped and twisting against the desk to be dispersed and since it has been installed I have noticed no more creaks from the desk as I move the orientation of the monitor around to suit my needs throughout the days and weeks of use. (According to Amazon's AI, this review didn't talk about ease of use, appearance, quality, or stability so here goes) The plates are solid metal with thin foam pads attached so they are very high quality. I bought the black ones, so they blend into my black desk very well, so their appearance is very nice. All I had to do was loosen the mount just enough to slide the metal piece underneath and the top piece literally rests on the desk so easy of use and ease of assembly are as easy as can be. The entire review was about how the torque of the monitor was dispersed.over a larger area so the stability is exactly what it needs to be. Hopefully you and the Amazon AI think this review is helpful now.

This is a must have for thin faux wood desks and glass desks. It can serve a dual functionality. The one shown in the photo or, as I used it. Upside down with the break formed lip turned up towards the ceiling and a hole drilled in the center. I had to through bolt my monitor mounting arm rather than clamping but it serves the same purpose; which is to stiffen the desk substrate sufficiently to take the vertical dead load (weight) and dead load moment (bending/torque). You do not want to see your desk deflecting inward when you pull your 27" monitors closer to your eyes. It is solid steel plate of good quality and looks good underneath the monitor column. Installation was easy despite having to drill a hole. There are really no adjustments other than flipping it or modifying it to suite your application.

This is perfect for a glass desk! It protects your glass desk while balancing the weight for double screens. No scratches and no cracks. It’s easy to install it fits perfectly for any size glass desk. I highly recommend using this before installing any double screen monitor holders to your glass desk.

For the price, this is a lot more sturdy than I was thinking it would be. I really like that the padding isn’t already installed on the metal. I didn’t want the pad on the bottom piece going under the desk because I was going to use double sided sticky tape to attach it to my desk and was wondering how that would work with the pad. But luckily the pad isn’t already installed so worked perfectly. Great purchase. They are very large pieces as well.

I bought several of these and one of them had some sharp edges I had to file down. Otherwise it was fine. Sturdy and easy to use, helpful with my desk.
