it mounts to desk with gromet clamp which you have to drill into desk but the stand covers hole OR it comes with a clamp that you can just slide onto desk at the back for the clamp to work though you need to have a desk with no back board or the clamp wont work

There are two styles of mounting the units. The standard way is from behind the deak, which has a bracket that is included with each unit. If you cannot attach the unit from the rear, you can purchase a plate kit (model #97-692) that can be used from under the deak, but you will need to drill a hole. I hope this helps and these are great units!

I have mine clamped to the front of my desk to the far right side, then I can move it back and forth as I need to.

You can clamp it to the back or drill a hole, it comes with the stuff to do it either way. I mounted mine to the back and it has worked very well, the desk has a hutch, I just made a small cutout for the bracket to fit through.

You can do either one. Hardware for both mounting styles is included. If you want to clamp it to the back, be sure you have enough room to clamp it. You can't have a privacy panel that comes to within 4" of the edge.You can swing the whole unit out of the way and have access to your entire desk.

The product comes with both a clamp to mount on the back lip of the desk OR there is a grommit mount to go through a hole in the desk. We have about 20 of these in a large law office and we love them!

Has hardware for both clamping as well as being put through a "cables" hole.

You have to drill a small (3/8") hole through the desk to mount. This unit was well built and sturdy but does consume the entire desk.

The mounting base measures 17 inches long by 6 inches wide. It's very easily installed with just a few screws. We attached the base to the underside of a desk surface that is one inch thick. If the surface is too thin then you risk having the screws pop through the top of the desk surface. We're very satisfied with the product. A template is provided that makes it easy to pre-drill the screw holes.

It uses right angle metal brackets to secure it from the underside of the surface you are mounting it to. So you need something to bite into from the bottom of your mounting surface. I suppose you can tack weld it if you had to or somehow mount a wooden braces on the underside of the metal desk. You only need a small like 1/4" screw.

Just under 2.5 inches, which creates a nice stable base. However, the way that the mounting works, you can still leave it an inch off the edge and have it create a solid clamp. I have mine only about 1.5 inches into my desk and have never had a problem. Cheers.

No you don't have to screw it into anything, the feet just sit on the desk top. You have option of drilling hole through desk so the feet don't take up any space but I just used the base. It allows me to shift the monitors left or right if I need to get behind them.

It will mount on the underside of any desk that you can drive a screw into. It has to be a flat surface with no obstruction, and wide enough. If you cannot tip the desk up on its back side, you will have to lie down on you back and drill pilot holes with an electric drill and then drive the screws in with a screwdriver or a bit on an electric drill or electric screwdriver. There is no template for the placement of the holes, so you will need one person to hold it up and another to mark the location of the holes with a pointy magic marker. It took me about 20 minutes to install it, and it works just fine. I bought a wrist rest separately and recommend that. It will mount on the underside of any desk that you can drive a screw into.

It uses two L brackets on the back to attach to any desk that is of equivalent or greater width. It is designed to also rest its back against the wall. If you are going for a free-standing unit, I recommend buying a second set of L brackets to bolt down the front. That is what I did.I now have a free-standing desk and hutch, and the hutch is bolted down nice and secure with my modifications.

It does not come with a C- clamp mount but it does offer a way for the base to be drilled through the desk.

The piece for the top of the clamp is wide enough and has some foam/rubber attached. I put a block of wood about 3" wide, 10-12" long, and about 3/4" deep on the underside. I glued a piece of foam from the craft store to the glass-facing side. It worked really well. What I meant to say was attach the rubber to the block to stop/reduce slippage and to avoid scratching the desk.

It comes with two mounts, one being a clamp, the other which can be mounted with screws. Our headboard was too thick, but the top edge was not, so I calmed it there.

I mounted it on to a wooden desk. It has brackets that need to be screwed in place.

wood screws underneath the desk surface. Took a drill (pilot holes) and a phillips screw driver. About 20mins to install. Not hard, just mark your holes from putting the plate under the desk for where to pilot your holes, then install plate. Other plate/board just slides in, then you install one screw to keep if from coming out the front. Like a safety screw. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't clamp directly to the desk since you want to clamp pretty tightly. Put something between the clamp and glass (cardboard, some rubber, etc) to help spread the clamping force. ONce you have it clamped it should be fine though, of course, it is now balanced to the edge where the mounting arm is. If you don't have the glass secured to the base then it could tilt. That's less of an issue with this particular arm and more an issue with any weight close to the edge. My desktop tilted back a bit before I remembered to rescrew it to the base. :)

The clamping bracket is approx 4" x 4" and 3/16 thk. The bracket fits easily onto a standard thickness desk edge and easily supports the screens I have (1 x 25" - 1 X 22" and an 18" I use as a TV.). Just make sure the clamp screws are evenly tightened- do not over tighten or you will crush in to the desk undersurface with the clamp washers- for safety place an thin metal strip (1/8" thk) between the wood and the clamp heads- spreads the load.

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.

I have it clamped to a desktop that is an inch thick. It could easily clamp to a thicker desktop. It works best if the edge is square and not beveled. Before the current desk I clamped the power strip to a folding plastic table that had a deeply beveled edge. It clamped on but was a bit loose. It also will work best if there is 1 1/2" to 2" lip on the desk top so the clamp can be seated firmly and securely.
