I need to know how to mount this monitor stand on your desk surface? nuts and bolts? do I have to use screwdrivers?

It comes with an attachment that goes under desk but yes it does require drilling through your desk and attaching with bolt. However, I did not mount mine, its very sturdy at the base.

Dear Ramosea, The stand can be used with the weighted metal base, or there is a desk attachment provided, allowing you to mount the stand on a desk. This requires drilling a hole (approximately 10 mm diameter) in your desk, and clamping with the included bolt and large washer.Thank you, Value Max

I am using it just sitting on the surface of the desk and that has worked fine. It does come with a bracket to securely fasten it to a desk as well though.

Take off the bottom piece of the mount with the clasp/screw. This leaves an angle bracket with 4 holes. I took 4 long wood screws and attached the mount to my desk and it turned out really sturdy. Your mileage may vary depending on your desk, the material, etc. Also I recommend adding a square of foam between the metal base that sits on the desk just to provide a little bit of cushioning to straighten the mount and prevent scratching.

You have to detach the stand and mount with a wall mount. Very easy to do. Great monitor. I use 3 of them for my dental office.

I mounted mine through a hole in the desk instead of using the clamp. It comes with hardware for both options. I'd consider it extremely stable with my 22" monitors and holds them exactly where I want them.

I found the swivel base worked the best to use on my desk, you will have to drill three clearance holes first for the screws, ( I used small machine screws with lock washers and nuts for best results)

This monitor stand is free standing. There isn't a simple way to bolt it down. The base could be drilled but that would entail a lot of work and you would have to drill holes in the desktop as well. It is stable as long as you use one or three monitors. I originally only had two monitors mounted on it and it was easily tipped to the side. I now have three mounted and it is quite stable. Hope this helps.

For your monitor, you can VERY carefully drill some holes into the back but I wouldn't recommend it if you don't know where all the important stuff. My monitor already had holes for mounting. It's kind of weird to not have holes already there...guessing you have an old monitor?

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.

There is no way to attach it to the stand. I don't ever move it off. I agree with the earlier response to simply move the monitor down

My desk is to big and sits in a corner so I got no way to mount it to my desk. Would flipping this upside down work? Then bolting it to my wall work... I've been slowly looking for a solution to mount my 27" iMac and 27" thunder bolt display with the VESA mount adapters i got from apple. I plan to buy a 3rd display here soon and been debating waiting to have all 3 and look for solution to hold all 3 displays up off my desk.

I actually took one of my monitors apart, drilled 4 holes in the rear of the case, and used self tapping screws on one of my monitors that didn't have threaded holes. 2 years later, all is still well!

I did not wall mount this monitor; however, if I were going to wall mount this unit and didn't have a shelf to place it on, I would build a small sconce and mount it on a stud in the wall. I would be sure the unit was secured to the sconce with a least two screws through the base of the unit.

It is via 4 screws (included) onto the VESA mount. So, make sure your monitor has VESA mount (square) on the back.

Yes in my order screws, bolts, and basic tools were included. However be prepared to keep additional tools nearby at all times. I found that I'm constantly in need of a ratchet with a medium depth 17MM cup because I have to constantly tighten the main bolt. I am using a a 20" wide screen monitor with this stand that is well within the stated weight limits of the product. But despite how hard I tighten the bolt that controls the horizontal \ vertical movements of the stand, the monitor slowly begins to pivot downward centimeter by centimeter and after a few days, it just flops down and that's not even the worst part. As the monitor slowly pivots downward, I inevitably find myself dipping my head and and hunching my back in order to stay in line with the height of the monitor. If you don't mind this then for the money, it's a solid stand. Otherwise it may pay to invest a little more on something that more of a positive lock on the horizontal \ vertical pivot. Hope this helps.

It comes with 1 of 2 mount options. Either A use the stand, or B use a behind-desk clamp-style mounting bracket. But keep in mind this thing is heavy duty. So add the weight of 2 monitors to it: (I use 2x27" Planar LCD's) and it's going to be really heavy, and not just really heavy but really front heavy because of how the weight of the monitors is forward of the centerpoint of the pole. So given that you would have to have a seriously strong desk probably 1" solid wood or thicker to even consider it. Of course I get that it looks cleaner, but just use the base, you'll be happy with it, and won't need a 2" hole-saw cut through the desk. It comes with 1 of 2 mount options.

Yes. The monitor mount comes with all the hardware (screws/bolts & nuts) to mount your monitor to the stand. Just make sure your monitor is VESA 75 or 100 compatible.
