Very impressed with this product. There are a lot of dual monitor desk arms available on Amazon. What I wanted was one that wasn't gas spring. This one appears to be spring loaded and it works great. It's very adjustable. I had a specific need for a dual monitor setup. I have two 27" monitors with one horizontal and the other vertical and I wanted the horizontal one (the primary monitor) to be centered on my desk with the vertical one to the side. I was a bit concerned about whether this arm would be strong enough to hold both (they both weigh about 17lbs). I was also a bit concerned about whether I could position the monitors exactly where I wanted them. My desk bumps up about 1" from the back wall, so that was a concern as well. But after assembling everything and spending some time adjusting I got everything exactly where I want it and it's fantastic. Removing the monitor stands off my desk frees up a bunch of room and add a nice de-clutter look to my desk. Assembly was fairly straightforward. The instructions are pretty basic, but it's easy to figure everything out. The base that attaches to the desk is very sturdy and clamps down securely (my desk is about .8" thick). Adding the 2 arms is a breeze, and one thing I really liked about the assembly you attach the Vesa mount plates to the back of the monitors independently of the arms and then slide and lock them into the end of the arms. There is a bit of wiggle between the end of the arm and the base plate attachment, but once the monitors are positioned in place it causes no issues. The tension in the arms is very easy to adjust with the included wrench. I simply relieved some of the tension on both arms, got the monitors exactly where I wanted them, then tightened the tension and now they stay put with zero sag. There is outstanding range of motion for positioning the monitors where I needed them. Overall extremely happy with this purchase and glad I chose this product. Read more

• Amazing clamp mechanism with the bolt on the top used to tighten the otherwise flat and padded C-clamp which made installation much simpler for me, as I needed to cut a slot in my desk to do the clamp. Having that be flat instead of bulky was great. A+ design, it was one of the major reasons I picked EVEO! • Arms are sturdy and all the metal is thick and high quality. Great powder coat. Overall very high quality fit and finish with good attention to detail. • Love the big sturdy tool for tightening the bolt for the clamp. I wish it had been an all-in-one tool that handled every bolt or screw on the entire unit for simplicity, but I still loved the size and quality of the tool and the slot to keep it on the back of the base so I don’t lose it. I’d also have liked it painted black to blend in when slotted back there. • Love the included Velcro ties! • Love the thumb screws, on the VESA mounts! The not as good: • Cable management space in the lower arms could use a bit of improvement. I wish they had a little more space and the sliding mechanism, which inexpensive, reliable, and good looking doesn’t allow the smoothest interaction trying to add or remove cables especially if you have many of them. I think something could be done to improve this whether it’s adding a bit of depth to the plastic to give more interior space or redesigning it as a whole with a hinge or some other closing mechanism. Your stuff will still fit but with a bit of force. • The cable management plastic piece on the upper arm comes off the arm too easily. I’d also like to see a second tie down for cables on the upper arm. • The cable management plastic piece on the base slides out very easily. I expected it to clip in but it doesn’t seem to. • I had to tighten the allen screws holding the VESA brackets to the plastic slides (the ones that say TOP with an arrow) because they came quite loose with a lot of play. I did like that they took the same wrench as the rotation lock mechanism set screws. • The rotation lock mechanism is not great and even tightened down I can’t really get it to lock. I think this could use improvement, though it’s only a minor thing for me. Overall it’s a 9/10 for me and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a sturdy monitor arm but doesn’t want to pay $300.

I don't often write reviews, but this product's quality surprised me so much that I began drafting one as soon as I received it. It's now been over a week and nothing has happened to make me question its longevity so far. Pros: The quality feels sturdy. The design is very smart. Clearly whoever developed it really thought about things a monitor arm should and could have to make adjustments easier while creating clean lines and stability, and was able to provide that at a very reasonable price. It comes with a bunch of extra parts so you can customize your installation. There are options for how permanent the installation is, and conveniences like thumb-screws, nice velcro cable ties, and probably my favorite of all, an easy-detatch VESA mount that holds securely but allows the monitor to come off the arm by pushing one tab. The whole thing is attractive and attaches firmly to the desk (my desk is only about 3/4" thick). Having the tightening screw on the top, adjustable with the substantial allen key provided, is very easy. The lower part of the arms have a slot for the cables to hide in, and given that in my experience this is usually the part of an arm that doesn't work as well as it should, and ends with broken plastic and exposed cables, I think this arm solves it in the best way I've seen. It takes a little work to get the cover to lock fully in place if you have a lot of cables, but once together it's secure and very clean-looking, and I've had to do a lot of cable swapping while getting my setup just right, and it hasn't broken or made me dread readjusting it. My monitors weigh 10 lbs and I didn't need to adjust any tension to get them to stay in place, so I can't comment too much on that process. One temporary Con: one of the lower sections of the arms wouldn't pop onto its mounting point on the base until I sanded the inside down a bit. Read more
