Can someone explain how the stand can hold so much weight without falling forward?

The U metal base is solid steel and very heavy. The U also extends toward the front while the support post is located at the center rear of the U base. You must use the center only or all 3 monitor mounts otherwise it will be unstable left/right.

The amount of weight that it holds doesn't really matter regarding falling forward - it's where the center of gravity lies. Unless you lean your monitors way forward then the center of gravity will still be over the base. That means it has a lot of weight on it, but it's doing anything to lean the base forward. I have 3 24" monitors resting on it currently.

It has a fairly heavy base on it. If you are using monitors larger than 23 inches however I suggest you mount it to your desk. It does come with mounting hardware.

the stand is very well balanced and strong plus monitors are not that heavy you also have the option to bolt to the desk I have mines on the stand and a racing wheel ive had it for awhile its still standing not one fall and I have 3 24'wide screen monitors

Hello N. Eng,For free-standing mounts, like this one, there are not any balance problems as long as the monitors are not pulled really far forward. I would say up to 30 degrees would be fine. If the monitors do need to be pulled forward more, then I would recommend you take advantage of our bolt to desk option.Thanks for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

The foot base comes forward several inches to keep it from doing or. Using the mounting bold and drilling a hole through the bottom of your desk would probably provide the same support. I just have the foot stand and it is very stable with 3 24" Asus lcd monitors (older, heavy style).

The key is that it needs to be centered. You can't indiscriminately shift the monitors to the forward angle you want--the center of gravity must still be over the stand itself. This applies to any stand, unless the stand itself is hard-mounted to the desk, in which case the angles that can be used are much better.

The two legs are of heavy construction and wrigh quite a bit. Plus angling the monitor on both sides inwards gives it stability....other it is more prone to fall backwards. There is also a vice clamp that can be used to secure it to desk. I am using a glass desk so I am unable to use clamp but have had no troubles.

I've found the legs to be more than sturdy enough for the maximum weight rating on the stand. They are metal in a U shape with one arm of the U extended for improved stability. 1/4 to 3/8th thick

Mrs M and Amazon:User's Guide received with my stand did not indicate weight capacity.However, normal common sense tells us it is a music stand used to hold basic music or other light weight materials. Heavy articles could cause it to tip over, or overload the tray and/or stand legs and cause a problem.Propose you contact distributor for their official answer to your question atPL &H; International13430 Alondra Blvd Cerritos, CA 90703Email: plh.international@gmail.comPh. 877-754-4681562-623-9266

The stand is completely steady, light weight and well made. In fact, it's sitting on my kitchen table right now waiting for me to make some birthday cup cakes for my daughter-in-law. Unless someone deliberately knocks it over I don't think it will tip up. (I just went into the kitchen and gave it a knock to see what happens.) Well worth having in my opinion. Patricia

Hello, I did not have any challenges. I have owned my stand now for eight months. Solid stand. what is the issue?

While I don't believe it would readily hold the weight of a person, I have a photo copy stand and lights on mine and it works just dandy.

The tripod legs keep this stand very stable. I don't think it would tip over unless someone bumped into it.

From a structural perspective, it should be able to sustain the television with no issues considering it's fortified in most of the important pressure points. It may seem a tad awkward if the television is wider than the stand. Since the television's center of gravity would be supported, there should be no real issue with balancing.

There is a single screw that controls the tightness of the spring that you will need a long screwdriver to get to. The screws that hold the base to the stand on have nothing to do with the spring tightness. If you tighten the screw that controls this, then the monitor will spring back up more quickly. You need to loosen the screw.

It is very sturdy, however if the stand itself can be rocked or shaken I would secure the stand as well. We have a very large tv on a stand close to the ground, our toddler can pull and shake on the TV and it holds well. I'm not sure I entirely understand your situation, but I hope this helps!

It would be stable but if you have a receiver, center speaker, TV, etc. it might be hard to move or drag into position. The stand itself is very heavy.

Height doesn't matter the stand is very heavy you won't have to worry about tipping over

It has two plastic "peg legs" to stabilize it when standing (though mine stands just fine on high without the pegs). The "peg leg" pulls out and can snap back on without much issue.

I have this model. The stand is not at all wobbly. I think that you just don't have the screws in tight enough.

I have the stand on a thick carpet and find it very stable. It's a very solid piece of furniture. You can also adjust the legs a bit in case the surface where it is placed is not completely level.

The legs move around to a degree. They're not permanently attached to the stand. You can easily take the stand off and on.

Yes. Gravity is the primary mechanism for the stand. It works. There is a small strap at the top you can secure using a screw into the wall.
