Hi, how deep is the clamp? My desk only has about an inch of lip all the way around my desk.

It looks like you need at least 2 inches. It is very adjustable to table thickness but not depth. The two clamp rods have disks at their ends that are just under 2 inches wide. You could try cutting a small hole in the side of the desk and sliding the clamp in?

I would say it is about 3 inches deep it works great I have been very pleased with the product.

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.

You need at least 1.75 inch for the clamp to hold 2 heavy monitors. Or you need to cut a square hole about 5x5 inches on the side, so the clamp will be stable and strong enough.Hope that helps.Michael

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

Hello Tim,The width of the clamp is just over 2.5" wide. The clamp bolt and knob are 4.5" tall, so you'll need that much vertical room underneath for it to fit.Thank you for your question and please let me know if you have any further questions.Sincerely,Taylor W.VIVO

There is a 1/2 inch lip. The keyboard tray mounts to the longer piece of the desk, it does not look like there is an option to mount on the other side, which would be the side with the seam where the long and short pieces fit together.

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.

The clamp has a neoprene cushion on the top, but two screw clamps for the bottom. To protect my stainless desk I put a piece of wood between the clamps and the desk. Whether the desk will hold the monitors is an interesting question: Unless it's 3/4 of an inch or thicker I wouldn't try it. As it is, if it were me I'd go buy a small piece of plywood at Home Depot or Lowes and have them cut it for you so it's 6 inches by 6 inches or something like that. This way the weight is distributed over a much larger surface area. Do be aware that the monitor stand is very heavy all on its own. There are also monitor holders with wall clamps instead of a desk clamp. That might be a much safer alternative for you.

The lip on the back of my desk is 2 1/8", and it was a close call. 2" would probably work but the mount will not slide completely flush. And you may scrape your knuckles tightening it down. The mount is adjustable for a very wide range of thicknesses, you'll want to use the shortest of the three choices. My desk is 1 1/2" thick - at 3/4" I'd want to be sure the material it's made out of can take the weight. Unless your desk has a flimsy top, it should work fine.

I am not sure as both my desks already had holes in them for cords and such, but here is what I found on their website:Mounting Options: Desk Clamp attaches to surface edge .4" to 2.4" (10 to 60 mm) thick; Grommet Mount attaches through surface holes .31" to 2" (8 to 50 mm) wide and up to 3" (76 mm) thick http://www.ergotron.com/ProductsDetails/tabid/65/PRDID/523/language/en-US/Default.aspx

After measuring my mount, 2.25" is needed for the back to be fully flush with the desk. The clamps are pretty sturdy though, so if you tighten them enough, I don't foresee any issues with stability. Regarding thickness, my desk is also about that thick, but it's solid wood so I feel comfortable with it. Physically, the mount will be able to clamp onto the desk, but it's up to you to decide if the material of the desk is strong enough to support the setup.

Sorry for the delay. I do not think it will work. The clamp only opens to about 4". Clamping on 3/4" is no problem. If you can't find anything else that will work, you could consider cutting a notch in the front lip just large enough to allow the clamp. However, do you have to clamp from the front? Is it possible to clamp from the back?

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.

I hope this makes sense. The maximum table thickness the mouth opens to its just under 2.5 inches. The 'mouth' (or the clamp part) is 2 inches, so the table needs some kind of lip to grab onto.

Ideally you want a 2" lip, although you can mount it with 1.5". The diameter of the clamp is just under 1.5". You can mount it on the front or side of the desk. I have mine mounted on the front of a computer tray table. It swivels nicely under the table when not in use (mouse and all).

My desk is pretty close to the wall, I had to slide the mount into place from the side to get it onto the desk. As for the L Clamp, I'm using the bottom two holes, and i had to crawl under my desk and screw in both bolts to clamp down on the desk. There is no way to modify or change the physical mounting point to the desk and how it functions that I am aware of. My desk has a back board, but it is recessed to create a lip that I was able to clamp onto. I wish I could take pictures to explain but, the top surface of the desk is only about 2 inches from the wall, the back board is maybe about 4 inches give or take from the wall. Hope that helps somewhat!

Um, no, Jeffrey. As you can see, this 4-monitor stand has a 2-screw clamp. The inner sides of the clamp (which is about 4x4 inches) are padded to avoid damage to the desk. If you do buy this item, make sure your desktop is at least 1 3/4 inches thick. The monitor stand is not that heavy, but having four monitors will make it moderately heavy. So, if you're relying on cheap furniture like particleboard, forget it, as you'll risk cracking and breaking a chunk off your desk and dropping the monitors in the process. By the way, this stand is one of the best things I've ever bought.

The top part of the desk extends 1.5" out over rear vertical support. I've got a couple things clamped, but not a monitor stand..not sure how much space they need to clamp on to.

I believe the clamp will work on your desk. The range of the clamp is 3/32" to 2-3/8", so your desk would be close to the lower clamp limit. There is a small layer of foam on the top part of the clamp, but you'd probably want to add a flat piece of rubber or other insulation on both sides of the desk where you clamp, to protect the desk and maybe help a little with vibrations.
