can I mount to a 1/4" tempered glass top desk?

No way. I would not take that chance. At least not directly. Maybe if you did it the way I did by using two pieces of wood with the glass in between and mount on the wood, but otherwise, no.

I'm not sure it would be very safe to do that if it's mounted just to 1/4" thick glass. If it was 5/8" or thicker it might work. There is a lot of force on the mounting area (the mount and monitors weight, plus the cantilever force from leverage). If you do mount it I would at a minimum put some kind of wood piece on the bottom to spread out the weight across a bigger area. Maybe a 6 inch wide piece of wood which is at least 1/2" thick, and runs out about 1 foot on each side? That might help and and not look too bad (you could paint it or something). The other problem is that glass doesn't do well when it is clamped hard. This thing gets tightened pretty tight and it may crack the glass.

I could see this working provided a couple of conditions were met, but I would not recommended this with the quad monitor stand. The first condition is that the mounting surface has a square edge. Make sure your desk's mounting edge is not beveled or slopes down to a point edge. The second condition is if you are going to mount this to glass you should attach something solid below the mounting surface between the fastening plates and the glass. You can use a piece of 1/2" acrylic if you want to maintain the transparent look. Mine is mounted on the edge of a 3/4" wood desk and is very solid.

For a secure fit you can get by if the flat U shaped underside clamp plate is fully underneath and that's 1.75"w by 4" long. If your desk lip underside is only 1.75" you'll have a little difficulty turning the knob to tighten it but I was able to get it done.

Hello Paul, My experience with desk thickness is that should be fine. I operate a business and have bought dozens of various mounts. I clamped this one to a plate glass desktop (very thin) and a very thick desk top. The key to securing firmly is having enough lip for the clamp to slide unto and get a good grip. Some desks have no lip and some not very deep. If not a deep lip, the issue of course is not the top, but the underneath clamp or the knob. The knob may be to close to a side panel to turn. I some cases, I have trimmed down the knob to get closer. Which then requires using a tool to turn and get tight. But that has worked a number of times. I also have secured this mount through desktop by drilling when no lip. This is a fine mount for the price. Very sturdy. Best of Luck.

Hi Laban,I would think this mount would work perfectly fine on your desk, as the the lip and thickness seem to match the desk we mounted ours on.

I wouldn't clamp directly to the desk since you want to clamp pretty tightly. Put something between the clamp and glass (cardboard, some rubber, etc) to help spread the clamping force. ONce you have it clamped it should be fine though, of course, it is now balanced to the edge where the mounting arm is. If you don't have the glass secured to the base then it could tilt. That's less of an issue with this particular arm and more an issue with any weight close to the edge. My desktop tilted back a bit before I remembered to rescrew it to the base. :)

Should not be a problem, my cabinet that I made was 1/4 in thk tempered glass 30" x 28" and no problem on the sliding situation. You should be in good shape

Take off the bottom piece of the mount with the clasp/screw. This leaves an angle bracket with 4 holes. I took 4 long wood screws and attached the mount to my desk and it turned out really sturdy. Your mileage may vary depending on your desk, the material, etc. Also I recommend adding a square of foam between the metal base that sits on the desk just to provide a little bit of cushioning to straighten the mount and prevent scratching.

Highly unlikely. At a minimum it would have to be structural glass at least 3/4" thick and you would need some type of padding for the undermount bracket. I doubt the company would suggest it. But try company support line, they are helpful.

The screws aren't that long, maybe 5/8". The bracket being screwed onto the bottom of the desktop takes up some of that. Best to measure the screws and top thickness to be sure. Bigger issue may be drilling too deep into the desk top from underneath. Use tape or permanent marker to mark your drill bit where you have to stop drilling. With a thinner top, buy 6 shorter screws at the hardware store, or add a couple of small washers as spacers to use up some screw length.

Probably not. The brackets that attach to the underside of the desk need to be mounted about 5 inches back from the front of the desktop. The brackets are about 10 inches long.

The clamp has an adjustable back plate that should accommodate a 2 3/4 desk. I measured the back plate and it 4 1/2 long. During installation you just mound the screw plate to the set of hole in the back plate that is the best fit for you desk thickness and then just tighten down the thumb bolts.

Yes, the Upper Desk will fit any shelf thickness, up to 1 7/8". The Upper Desk Cabinet Mount for tablets will definitely fit the bill.

Yes, if it is a standard wall mount with the protruding buttons that are 4 inches apart vertically. You will have to attach the mounting bracket that comes with the phone, in the wall mount position on the phone rather than in the desk/table top position. The bracket will snap into slots on the bottom end of the phone on the back.

If you stick a piece of plywood underneath the glass where the metal clams on it would probably be fine but that would be at the cost of aesthetics. As long as you place something underneath the desk where the metal discs clamp to distribute the load from the metal clamp to the desk it will be fine. If you do not want to see something underneath the glass then go for a stand that just rests on top of the glass

I don't think so, but I have never tried to mount mine because I have an office desk. I hope this helps you.

I mounted it on a hollow core Ikea desktop, just don't over torque the screws. You may need shorter screws than what comes with the holder

Unlikely, the clamp has to be screwed in tight. A glass-top would probably not take this stress and cantilever load of the monitor.
