I think should be OK, I am using IKEA LINNMON cheap table top with a single arm on the side of the table top and a 34" monitor, if you did a search on youtube you will know IKEA LINNMON is hollow inside.
If you are worry you can put piece of woods to reinforce it.
i guess i should be fine then! thanks!
Put a piece of wood at the bottom to reinforce it just in case.
Agree with the other comment, a piece of plywood on top and bottom of the table, if the mount allows it, will be good to spread the impact of the mount to hopefully protect it.
@superforever: I believe the force on the top part pressing down on the desktop is much greater than the bottom.
I've been obsessing over these setups lately. Amongst all the youtube vids just watched a stress test on Linnmon if you want to see inside it. Most likely getting a Karlby and Alex drawers.
Hi, I am using a VIVO dual monitor mount with the Bekant desk, and I have had no issues with it. It is the 160x80 desk, and I have had three different double monitor mounts attached to the desk at different times. The size of the monitors were 24" + 32".
Fits most screen sizes from 32" to 32"
Assume up to 32"….
Its meant to be 13" to 32" based on the video
Or you can get it from Amazon US via AU for $51.7
if you dont mind to wait
https://www.amazon.com.au/WALI-Monitor-Adjustable-Capacity-M…The Bunnings one is not stocked in store anyway. Would have to wait as well.
same one?
plus $47.24 delivery
Free delivery with Prime.
It is interesting though the Amazon one said it support up to 27 inch but has a higher per arm capacity. 10 KG vs 8 KG
I do wondering what are those supported size mean? is it the arm span or the weight?
Should be span + weight. Old monitors had more density as compared to the newer models.
Or single arm, can this dual monitor arm support 2 x 32"?

Not that I need one, but this is the sort of product where I'd support Aldi on instead. Less likely to need warranty than say a power tool or other bit out machinery.
Yep, Bunnings has only halved their price because of Aldi.
Also note Bunnings stores don't have stock:
"This item is not stocked in-store. You can order it from the Special Orders desk in-store or online."
Why do you prefer to support a German company over an Australian one?
Cos this deal wouldn't even exist without their competition.
So? What's your point? It's the business model that allows them to undercut Bunnings where they can offer an extremely limited range of extra products on top of their standard grocery offerings, this is different from the business model of being able to turn up and have the thing that you need available to buy with a wide range of products. Do you want to be able to buy things whenever you want to in the future? Or do you want to only be able to buy things when Aldi has them in stock (2% of the time) with an extremely limited range potentially missing important features?
Supporting a business model like this for the sake of it being the competition makes no sense when you look at how much good stores like bunnings or local independents do for local economies, if Bunnings are matching prices when there is other competition by different business models which can't sustainably offer what Bunnings offers permanently, Aldi creates efficiencies primarily by reducing staff requirement with lower profit margins and less products. Meanwhile walk into a Bunnings and look at how many people are employed, your friends, family, could be doing these jobs. Then walk into an Aldi and look at how many people are employed, the difference between these two is create because of the number of products on offer and what percentage of the store that can be maintained by one person.
Sure Aldi created the increased competition, but Bunnings are able to match it due to the very nature of Aldi's extremely limited offerings. So why not support the one that supports Australia if it's the same price?
@[Deactivated]: You're missing the point.

ALDI's hardware offerings will never affect Bunnings because, as you say, ALDI will have them in stock "2% of the time" with an extremely limited range.
You will always be able to walk in to Bunnings and buy the same tools. Bunnings will never stop selling them just because ALDI sells them occasionally.
Walk into a Bunnings and look at how many people are employed, your friends, family, could be doing these jobs.
A grocery store will not put a scratch in Bunnings $13.1 billion revenue. Everyone buying tiny quantities of tools from ALDI instead of Bunnings will not affect them in any appreciable way. Nobody will lose their jobs at Bunnings because ALDI sells tools occasionally.
The difference is, without ALDI, you will always be paying full price for those same tools.
Buying from ALDI lets them know that people are interested in those tools so they'll continue to offer them. If nobody buys from them, they'd stop selling it and we will all lose access to cheaper tools.
Supporting a business model like this for the sake of it being the competition makes no sense when you look at how much good stores like bunnings or local independents do for local economies
I'm not sure local independent hardware stores share your support for Bunnings. :)
@eug: It's good that you've agreed with pretty much everything I've said. The only difference is
Buying from ALDI lets them know that people are interested in those tools so they'll continue to offer them. If nobody buys from them, they'd stop selling it and we will all lose access to cheaper tools.
This is the point I am making. They won't stop selling them and with the quantities they have, they will always sell out. That's the entire point of their business model. So explain again why it's beneficial to simply support the business model for the sake of supporting competition? They will sell out no matter what. The only difference between buying at Aldi vs bunnings is your money leaves Australia.
I'm not sure local(smartcompany.com.au) independent(illawarramercury.com.au) hardware stores share your support for Bunnings. :)
Now you're missing the point.
If you don't have a SMSF I'd bet $100 your superfund has shares in Wesfarmers. It's literally just yours and my money that is being sent overseas.
It's good that you've agreed with pretty much everything I've said.
Hmm, you might be selectively reading a bit.
So explain again why it's beneficial to simply support the business model for the sake of supporting competition?
That's the point you're missing - because we get tools for cheaper prices.

You're missing the part where we get to buy tools for cheaper prices.
If you don't have a SMSF I'd bet $100 your superfund has shares in Wesfarmers. It's literally just yours and my money that is being sent overseas.
You also missed the part where I said a grocery store's occasional tool selection will not make even a tiny scratch on Bunnings' $13.1 billion revenue.
Is this one of those specialty items that Aldi might randomly have in the middle of their store?
Thanks mate!
Funniest thing I ever saw was someone try to mount one of these on a glass table. Wish I had recorded it. SMASH!
I've used a monitor mount attached to a glass table for years.
I imagine it's a pretty thick piece of glass? Sounds dodgy but I guess it would be fine as long as you have an understanding of the weight and position of the screens
Why are these better than the monitors just sitting side by side on the desk?
U get more desk space, looks cleaner etc etc. Comes down to preference
you have a larger range of adjustment than the standard monitor base.
That's not actually the case. With your monitor on a stand the angles and positions at which you can place the monitor are limited, you might get a little extra height but for positioning you get the biggest range with a standard desk stand on a riser. I wish that wasn't the case though because my least favourite thing to do as an IT guy is swap people from desk mount to stand.
no, that is the case, I have more height adjustment with the stand vs the standard monitor base (maybe you have an awesome monitor base that goes up really high and offers more angles than mine) I need this due to my desk not being able to go up and down. Yes, I could pack the monitors up with books etc, but it will clutter the desk and these dual stands will free up valuable WFH desk space.
@T4Abyss: No - think about it.. you're putting your monitor onto a rail. Sure you get more height than with a standard stand on it's own but there's a limit to how high you can put it. I cant count how many times I've had to move screens onto stands + risers for someone because the desk mounts don't go high enough. You lose desk space but you have more freedom in monitor placement.
@Cheaplikethebird: Love these downvotes. Just to be clear I'm not arguing about desk space, only that a desk mount limits range of movement. If for some reason I'm mistaken and an object that is bolted to a steel arm has more range than a free moving object then I'm all ears. Also tilt function on these cheap desk mounts is usually pretty shit.
@Cheaplikethebird: I have to agree with you on this particular mount, there is not as much adjustment in regards to height. But a gas strut monitor arm gives significantly more flexibility to height and all other adjustments.
@sghetti: Haha thanks but no. Sure a good mount makes it easier to adjust your screen position but ultimately you are restricting yourself to where you can place the arm. A screen on a stand with a riser underneath gives you more flexibility, end of.
The only time I can think of where this isn't the case is for screens where the stock stand has no tilt/swivel movements which is pretty damn rare these days.
@Cheaplikethebird: the best is if we can just float the monitor on the air, can adjust 360 degrees (maybe in another 100 years)
Usually these will get monitors higher up too which is nice.
I thought the same once, but I will never go back now
Is this a troll post? You obviously don't work in an office job.

Anyone know of decent arm that would support a 38UW 9kg? Cheers
wow,you must need a decent one.
Supports 9kg https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/brateck-si…
Also this https://www.ergotron.com/en-au/products/product-details/45-2… (but around $222 ea)Thanks guys.
Decided to give this one a shot.
https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-gas-spring-monitor-mount-…59 including delivery (Kogan First trial), 2% cash back.
Weight limit 9kg, my monitor is 9kg or just over. Hope it's decent..
Ooo let me know how you go. I've got a 34" Ultra wide and need a single arm as well.
How does this compare to the $40 ones on ebay?
3", $16, and 14kg difference compared to https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TV-Bracket-13-29-Dual-LED-Monito…
$19
If you have Kogan First (free trial), this seems better specs for $59.99 delivered
Maximum Weight Limit * Holds 2 screens up to 10kg for a maximum weight of 20kg (Bunnings is 8kg each)
VESA Size * Supports VESA 100 and 75 (Bunnings is only 100)Looks good, post it?
The Bunnings one listed above has detachable mounting plates, which makes life significantly easier. They can be bought seperately but they're usually $15-20 each (last time I looked on Amazon), and you'd need a pair.
Bunnings is only 100
Looks like Bunnings has both 75 & 100.
You are right, I were looking at the number and not the entire sentence:
Max VESA mounting pattern 100mm x 100mm
Maximum 30inch monitor though, Bunnings one supports 32inch
Fits most screen sizes from 32" to 32" and 8kg (per arm)
What 32 inch monitor weighs 8kg?
AIOs
What do you mean? ASUS PA328Q weighs 11.68kg including stand. I'd say without stand it's still over 8kg.
No, I meant that 8kg is too small - evidently it isn't based on another comment. My 34" is just over 10kg without the stand, I guess those 2 inches make a difference in weight.
I stand corrected, I based my knowledge on my 34" monitor being just over 10kg without a stand. I think it's crazy that there's some close to 5kg…
I just bought a 34" ultra wide. It's 9.8 kg with the stand, 6.76 kg without.
ViewSonic VX3276-2K, without the stands is 5.6kg
$43 delivered on ebay for a similar item - max 29" screens upto 30kg - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TV-Bracket-13-29-Dual-LED-Monito…
Is it better to have two single monitor arms then a dual one? Would it be more stable?
Probably, and more flexible
I would recomend having 2 seperate ones,
Allows you to have them at sperate heights (specially if you have different size monitors)
With 2 arms, if no space between wall and your desk, you may not able to put 2 monitors side by side without gap.
With 2 singles you can put them away at distance and make the two monitors aligned perfectly
2 single would probably offer more flexibility I guess. And if you dont have a solid wood desk, it will probably put less pressure on your table if you spread the load on both sides.
If the desk isn't solid, it might be a good idea to add wider pieces of wood in between the clamp to spread the load. Or at least underneath as the clamping part attached to the screw is smaller than the base on top.
Thanks OP
Anyone have experience using a monitor arm with a glass desk? Sounds risky
My desk has 3 monitors attached to my rare as hell iron monitor stand sitting on glass.
Your best bet would be to place some rubber between the glass and supports that hold the glass in place.
However I would not recommend clamping glass with iron, it will certainly shatter.
Then place the monitor stands not central to the desk rather further to the wall taking the stress of the glass.
Yes even from this day I still worry the glass will cave in and a huge shard will shoot up into my face.
I recall that desk glass shatters into granules not shards.
I can tell you buying this for 3 monitors is a nightmare, forget importing it from over sea it's practically a a paper weight with massive fees.
I gave up looking for one, until I walked into office works for no reason, no research, no clear intention buying these desk mount rack, until I looked down in the pc accessories and Walla to my great (surprise Nothing) a 3 mount wrack for $99 on clearance.
And from this day I have never ever seen one in office works from this day, nor online (maybe in one or two vsa supported racks, but not 3)
So if you happen buy a 3 rack and intend on selling them in the future, make it $1000 because they're bloody rare in Australia.
Good Story!
Or you can just buy a two arms plus a Single arm for $59+ $59 from Bunnings.https://www.bunnings.com.au/crest-single-arm-monitor-desk-mo…
It's not going to happen, my monitor stands rare.
It supports 3 monitors upwards of 24inch, or two 28inches, and sits on a stand no mount clamp.
Finding that is rare, yes you can buy seperate and you can also walk into the taxation department or Centrelink and take their inspired mount setup yuk.
Plenty on google search
https://www.umart.com.au/SilverStone-Black-Arm-Three-Triple-…
Took all of 30 seconds to find one.
And it's voila, not "walla" lol
May be they are playing a trick so people post links
In the future I'll take that advice, but sadly finding it was rare.
I bought it in 2014 tho, office works so maybe vendors have now decided selling this, but I recall buying this was a nightmare.
And the second nightmare was a trolley style mount for 55inch TV's that you can mount on, but it turned out only a German company selling corporate versions for $999 USD, was ludicrous, so I gave up on that envevour, til one lady in Amart said why not build one.
I said with what do you have a iron ore factory so I can manufacture them.
https://www.amazon.com.au/North-Bayou-Universal-Displays-AVA…
It was something like this, it's a eye sore, but more elegant with only one bar and wheels, and cable hidelden and could be rotated vertical or horizontal and was a great replacement for mounting to walls.
Impressive, but still as I said they're still rare as FF. You just found a exception.
What!?? NO WAY! When was that for $99? Which Officeworks?
I bought this one from Amazon US in 2015. Paid about $350 including postage. I can see at the time it was $179 USD.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NPEC5A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b…
Was an awesome monitor stand for 3x 24" screens.
I think I sold the 3 monitors (few years old) and the stand for $500 and thought that was a good deal then in 2016.
LOL now I check Amazon AU and its $763… FML haha oh well, I stand corrected.
https://www.amazon.com.au/Ergotech-Triple-Horizontal-Monitor…Ergotech are good but are only available in America. How you imported it via Amazon back then is beyond me.
I got a HP branded arm for a lot less than the equivalent Erogtech arm. The HP one came with an Ergotech manual inside. It's just rebadged.
Ages ago and the HP isn't available anymore, but Amazon Basics (last I checked… also a while ago) looked to be identical too.
I'd never pay Ergotech prices.
Is ti possible to vertical mount using this at all?
Got an identical looking mount from Jaycar. Good, sturdy but note that there is no height adjustment for where the monitors sit. Different monitors also have different VESA mount locations, I initially had 2 different monitors and they sat at slightly different heights and there wasn't much you can do about it. If that sort of thing irks you then it might not be the right mount for you.
I think I bought this exact one on ebay shipped for like 40 bucks a couple weeks ago
dazzsser posted this a few weeks ago off Kogan for $36 (OUT OF STOCK NOW). Does the job for me :)
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/537405

does anyone use this with an IKEA Bekant desk? im curious if the table could safely support this mount
