What is the thickest desk the clamp can accommodate? Is there *ANY* monitor clamp solution that could accommodate a 4 or 4.1in thick desk?

Hello Daniel, It is recommended the desk be between 15mm (0.59 inches) and 55mm (2.17 inches) thick, and be strong enough to support the weight of your monitor. This is another monitor mount of ours. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EQ7HTG6 It'll fit desks just under 4" thick with the clamp and about 3.75" with the bolt option. If you can purchase a longer bolt from a hardware store, you should be able to get this mount to fit a thicker desk. We also have a listing that has more on the way: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B21TLQU If you can wait a few days, this listing will be stocked with our inventory. It will fit a 4" desk. It might fit a 4.1". I hope this was of help. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you, Taylor W. VIVO

I have 6 Dell Ultrasharp U2414H (widescreen) monitors (53.92 x 4.57 x 32.10) on this and it works great. The product is heavy (which is good), though in a perfect work you would want something to clamp the stand to the table (not included). I say this because if your desktop/table in any way rattles or moves even slightly when you type, the monitor stand will move with it. It has not been an issue for me though my desktop does move a little when I type.

If your desk has any backing that is less than 2.5" from the lip, this clamp will not fit. The bottom of the clamp extends 2.5" inward. I had to remove the backing from a desk in order to install this mount.

My screens are 19 and 14 pounds and it holds just fine at max extention (~2ft). However mine is mounted through a 1 inch mdf desktop with 2 inches of clearance from the edge of the desk. When I was using the clamp to decide where to permanently mount it, the arm was a little unstable and I did not feel comfortable leaving them mounted like that for any extended amount of time. The arm is definitely strong enough to hold both your monitors, it's more a question of how you plan on mounting it.In short; it will hold just fine if you don't use the clamp and have a good solid desktop.

Probably not. I'm not in my office at the moment, but if memory serves, the diameter of the pole isn't much larger than 3". You'd probably need to cover the hole with a thin sheet of metal (couple of bucks at a hardware store) and either drill a smaller hole for the post screw or just use the included clamp. Of course, you could also use the included clamp on some other part of the desk that *doesn't* have a 3" hole in it... Put it right next to the hole and route your monitor cables through the hole, maybe?

You'll need about 2.5-3 inches of clearance for the clamp. I was fortunate that my desk has only a shallow drawer so it wasn't a problem for me. I love the set up. It's awesome having all the desk space available.

I can't say for sure, but I'd try it. You can always return it, so keep the box in case it doesn't work. I recommend trying to find a clamping point on your desk that will be somewhat close to where your monitor will actually be suspended because the shorter the arm's radius from clamp to monitor, the less leverage forces the clamp will exert on your desk.

Just installed one of these. Without taking a tape measure I'm guessing the center of the monitor mount is 18 to 20 inches off the desk. The unit may even go higher I have it over a mixing console and it is well above equipment and not full height.

I'm not sure using this with glass would be a good idea, even on thick glass with two monitors it is pretty heavy. Unless the desk has a metal bar within depth of the clamp to take the weight then i wouldn't try it.

There is a ridge at the back that is several inches high. Don't know if that would be enough for a clamp or not because I'm not familiar with a clamp type monitor.

3 inches is enough room, although the clamp has a throat of about 3.5 inches. I had to screw a block to the back side of my desk that I clamped the mount to. The block is only 3 inches deep, and it works perfectly.

The two legs are of heavy construction and wrigh quite a bit. Plus angling the monitor on both sides inwards gives it stability....other it is more prone to fall backwards. There is also a vice clamp that can be used to secure it to desk. I am using a glass desk so I am unable to use clamp but have had no troubles.

yes, but you have to have sufficient overhang for the clamp to seat properly. I had to cut a hole in the side of the desk (no prob fort me because the desk was against a wall) to allow the clamp to seat correctly.

Is the desk about an inch thick? Based on how I've seen this product attach, I would say there is a very good chance that you will be able to use this. I would be cautious on the weight of the monitors. Meaning: Let's not push it to the max. I've seen very similar mounts work fairly "cheap" desks.

I havent used a clamp monitor stand, but i am using other clamp products. the top desk plate is strong enough to withstand the clamps i am using with ease. HOWEVER, one thing i strongly recommend is that you get two metal plates and place them between the top clamp and the top of the desk, and another plate between the bottom dual clamps and the bottom of the desk. Reason 1: the bottom dual claps are little circles that will apply an incredible amount of pressure to just those two spots. if you place a metal plate between the circles and the bottom of the desk, you will be able to clamp tighter without beginning to crack the wood of the desk. Reason 2: a metal plate will dispurse the force of the clamps to a wider area across the desk, therefore you leave less of a mark on the desk, possibly even no mark. Reason 3: the monitors will be more stable. less shaking, wobbling, or any other movement. again, a tighter clamp means a tighter grip, which will better prevent movement. with only the two little circle clamps sustaining the weight of the monitor and laptop, you are bound to get some motion, but using the metal plates will minimize such movement. I reccommend using a steel plate (or stronger) at least 2.0 mm in thickness. home depot sells a wide variety of thicknesses and sizes. chances are the plates will be silver in color, and since the desk is black, you may wnat to paint the plates before using them. engine paint (spray paint can) is always a good option, it is durable, easy to apply, and looks professional when dry. good luck!

I did a little experimenting and the smallest block of wood I could get in it and all the "jaws" clamping it correctly was 2 inch by 4 inch. Of course, you could always use spacers. As far as thickness, I've clamped 1/4 inch thick stuff before, but you can only use slight pressure or the wood will bend.
