How much space do you need on the back of your desk to clamp this onto the desk? I only have 2 inches of space to attach the mount to. Is that enough?

Two inches is all you need. Thats what I have as well! Great purchase! I couldn't be happier with this desk mount!

It is enough, you will have to set the backend clamp down to compensate but you will be fine. The base is sturdy and the arms are strong for the hold.

Ya I think that should be enough. Once clamped everything hovers above the desk and not behind. It's a good buy.

Depending in your monitor sizes the back clamp goes up and down. As far as the desk clamp, the device holds into a good chunk if desk so you should be good. I have purchased several dozen if these for my office and I have been very happy with the price and quality..

I am not sure as both my desks already had holes in them for cords and such, but here is what I found on their website:Mounting Options: Desk Clamp attaches to surface edge .4" to 2.4" (10 to 60 mm) thick; Grommet Mount attaches through surface holes .31" to 2" (8 to 50 mm) wide and up to 3" (76 mm) thick http://www.ergotron.com/ProductsDetails/tabid/65/PRDID/523/language/en-US/Default.aspx

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.

My desk was up against a wall. I don't think I moved it more than 2" from the wall. Doesn't take up much space between wall and where its mounted on desk. Hope this helps.

I am wall mounted so difficult to say for the desk mount. I have an Apple Thunderbolt 27" Display on the mount and I can swing it around to about no less than 6 inches.

14-1/4" horizontal from the post to the vesa. the top most position with the bracket fully contacting the post is 16-5/8" from top of desk to center of vesa. measure your monitor width and height, they shouldn't be no more than double those dimensions i just gave to the center of the vesa bolting to the monitor. (so 28-1/2" width and 33-1/4 height monitor should be your limit). it's a strong item holding my 24" Dell U2412M and i bounce my leg all day and it doesn't move. this is not a flimsy item, it is solid. got mine on 9/4/14 and no problems today 7/3/15.

Thats about how much is actually clamped onto my desk too, just make sure you use tools to tighten the clamp, I should also note, I modified the arms on mine to go 3 wide, on a 6x6 monitor system

My husband installed mine and I love it. My desk top is just a little over an inch but I think you could use shorter screws if the ones that come with it are too long.

I have it mounted to a 2" desk there is just under 3" of space to fit around a desk. I would say you are good to go here...

Depends how you mount it. With the mount just about flush with the front face of a desk, you can get up to about a 5" gap between the tray and the desk.

You'll need about 2.5-3 inches of clearance for the clamp. I was fortunate that my desk has only a shallow drawer so it wasn't a problem for me. I love the set up. It's awesome having all the desk space available.

Mine is attached with about the same amount of desk space and is very stable even though part (maybe 1/4) of the clamp flange is beyond the edge of the desk. Since the center of the clamp is under the desk, it works quite well.

You can customize where you mount it but it recommended mounting at least 1" of space back from the front edge of the desk. So long as there is enough room for the bracket you will be fine, just use the bracket as a guide to where exactly you want it and you can stick it there (the piece has a strong adhesive which allows you some freedom to work) and then you just put the screws in and compete setup and viola!

We used this for a 23" monitor, and it works great! I have no problems with this mount. It was exactly what I needed. I use it in an office cube to raise the monitor above a laptop. Had to remove the desktop, mount the bracket, and re-install the desktop, but it is worth the little bit of work. "your mileage may vary"

Sorry, but no, I don't think this will work for you. The back of the brackets that mount to the underside of my desk are about 16" from the front edge.
