Low cost doesn’t always mean cheap

This is a very nice monitor arm for the money! For 49 dolla I didn’t expect the quality I received with this piece of equipment. I have it mounted one of those ubiquitous Tresanti electrically adjustable desks from Costco. If you’re familiar with these desks, you’ll know that the top is glass and the working space is at a premium. With only 2ft of depth, I couldn’t use the stand for my 32” monitor. With that in mind, I had to find some inexpensive remedies since I’m now working from home due to the pandemic. Enter the Monoprice Workstream...a fantastic piece of kit that will work on this desk despite the floating glass top. All you need is a block of wood at least 3” wide x long and 2.5” deep. I jammed the wood right against the frame at the rear and up against the underside of the glass. I used thin double-sided tape to secure the block to the frame hoping it will transfer any forces when moving the arm to the frame. When the arm is clamped to the desk, the wood block spreads the clamping force along the glass and is rock solid. The arm itself is fantastic. It holds my 14lb 32” monitor with ease. It takes up virtually no space on the desk and makes the monitor super easy to position. Love the cable management and like others have stated, the only issue is there is no adjustment to keep the clockwise/counterclockwise movement of the monitor to a minimum. Despite that I highly recommend!
