Overall, very good for the price.

For the price, Iâm pleased with it.
Overall, itâs a sturdy stand with quality machining. All the screws went in easily, poorly machined products have crooked holes or bad threads. The mount base comes with 2 types, standard mount for a desktops surface. The other one is for desktops with monitor holes/cabling drilled through them. All the parts are heavy gauge and I encountered no difficulty during assembling.
There seems to be a tension screw for the tilt feature. I had to tighten the screw that holds the tilt joint together because out of the box, the monitor flopped forward hard. I had to be mindful while mounting it to the main arm so it wouldnât slam into my glass desktop.
The 2 arms that allow you to move the monitor forwards and back, left and right were a little stiff, I loosened the screw a bit on the main arm, at the pole. That seemed to be all that was required. I tried to loosen the bolt where the 2 arms meet, and it wouldnât budge. I didnât force the issue.
The instructions were adequate for assembly without covering anything else, like adjusting the tilt bolt for the weight of the monitor.
So, while I think this was a good mount for the investment, there are tradeoffs to mention.
Iâm accustomed to swinging my monitors upward and dusting underneath them. Height is fixed by a screw on this one.
I was struggling to install the monitor cables when I realized you can tilt the bottom toward you until the top or the monitor hits the pole, or, until itâs sitting nearly flat like a table. Elevated several inches above the desktop. I consider this a Pro / Con feature.
Where the arm ties into the VESA mount, the fit is a little sloppy. Itâs not a safety concern but I can wiggle the monitor backwards and forwards at the outer edges âAbout Ÿ inch âbefore feeling any resistance from the mount. Same goes for tilting. I donât see this as much of an issue. Normally, I donât foresee any outside forces acting in the monitor to create a problem. However, thereâs room for improvement. The rest of the machining seemed steller.
I have multiple computers in different rooms. 32â monitors are used as primary monitors with 32â to 23â as secondaries.
I like mine roughly 1â above the desk. That places the top of the monitor at my eye level and the ideal viewing angle.
I have fully articulated, hydraulic mounts on most of my monitors. Nice ones for large heavy monitors run $75 to $100 and up.
I paid $36 for this one. TheâŠâŠâŠ WALI Monitor Arm Mount for Desk, Single Extra Tall Computer Desk Mount, Monitor Bracket Mount Stand Single, up to 32 inch, 22 lbs (M001XL), Black.
Amazon lumps the reviews of similar products together, so I specified which mount I purchased.
Iâm using this one on a glass desktop, Iâm attaching it to the same point I constructed from wood for a different mount. It didnât lower the monitor low enough either. So, the top of that mounting point is 4â lower than the surface of the glass top.
Despite being that low, I didnât actually need the 32â pole / monitor mount, the 16â model would have worked.
Thereâs still 2â of pipe available above the arm. The 32â was on sale & I didnât know if the 16â would suffice. The pole is a screw together 2 piece. I unscrewed / removed the other pole as it looked out of place in my dual computer setup.
That leaves a hole in the top of the pipe / mount. I wish they included a cap for that. The top pipe has a cap but of a different diameter.
Iâd like to give it 4 Âœ Stars but Amazon wonât let me. Iâve got to go with 4.
Height adjustments with heavy monitors and an Allen wrench can present a challenge, itâs the nature of the beast and I wonât give it 5 stars for a few reasons. The sloppy VESA mount and loose tilt motion. No instructions that cover that, or if I was supposed to loosen the arm at the pole to improve motion.
I would recommend this mount to others.
