What it is for

Every other mount in this catalogue needs a desk edge to grip or a grommet hole to pass through, which rules out glass tops, thin floating shelves and any desk that is not allowed to be drilled. This one fixes to the wall instead and reaches back out over the desk, up to 20.47 inches, carrying a screen from 13 to 34 inches at 19.8 lbs. The desk surface stays completely clear.

Check before you order. This cannot go on plasterboard without a stud behind it, and no fixing in the box changes that. Concrete, brick or a located timber stud are the three surfaces it is rated for.

What assembly actually means

The whole job is finding the stud. Use a detector, confirm it by drilling a small pilot hole, and only then mark the plate. Height is worth planning on paper first: the arm gives 12.2 inches of adjustment, so set the plate so that eye level sits in the middle of that range rather than at one end.

What it changes

Nothing touches the desk, so the full depth of the surface stays usable and a glass or thin top is no longer a problem.
A reach of up to 20.47 inches means the screen can be pushed back to the wall when the desk is needed for something else.
Capacity of 19.8 lbs is above the 17.6 lbs quoted on most arms here, which brings heavier 34 inch panels into range.

Figures as published for this model. Anything that has never been published is left out rather than estimated.

Where this one sits among the 18

The same figures as every other page in this section, lined up against the section itself. Being the biggest at something is not the same as being the best at it, so the last column says where a number puts this model and leaves the judgement to you.

Figure	This model	All 18 mounts	Where that puts it
Largest screen it takes	34 in	27 to 49 in	Bigger than 12 of the other 17
Smallest screen it takes	13 in	13 to 17 in	The smallest of the 18
Weight per arm	19.8 lb	17.6 to 37.4 lb	Stronger than 6 of the other 17
Screens carried	1	1 to 3	The fewest of the 18

Ranges cover only the mounts that publish the figure at all; a model that has never published one is left out of that row rather than counted as a zero.

Where it sits in the range

Of the 18 mounts in this section this is the third cheapest: 2 cost less, 15 cost more, and the section runs from $20.99 to $79.99.

There is no figure here on which it beats everything cheaper in the section, so if none of the 2 below it is missing something you need, the difference is colour, top size or finish rather than capability.

It carries 1,028 customer reviews at 4.6 out of five, which is the highest rating in the section. Those numbers come from the retail listing and are reproduced rather than curated, including when they are unflattering.
