BONTEC Monitor Arm with Laptop Tray, Laptop Desk Mount for 13-27 Inch Screen and 17 Inch, Height Adjustable Full Motion VESA Mount, Tilt Swivel 360° Rotation, Cable Management Included

I bought this monitor/laptop double-arm set to use with a Benq 32" 4k monitor and as a tray for desktop paraphernalia.Assembly was pretty straightforward - the necessary allen keys were provided and besides you just need a screwdriver. Most, if not all, of the components have a sleek matte black finish and it looks pretty good in general. Perhaps a bit industrial-looking, but personally I like it.The pole is about 43cm tall and clamps securely to my desk. It comes with a little cable/allen key holder which is pretty handy.The arms are about 35-40cm long depending on the angle of the joints and the VESA mounts have a slide-on quick-fit mechanism with a locking nut to secure them. These are extremely useful when mounting cumbersome, large monitors as they allow you to secure the arm before mounting the monitor and any subsequent adjustments can also be performed without having to bear the weight of the monitor the entire time.The monitor arm does a pretty good job of holding up my 8.4 Kg Benq monitor. There's a tiny bit of sag along the length of the arm, but nothing alarming. The monitor initially kept tilting forward beyond the vertical plane, but a slight tightening of the relevant bolt soon had it staying perfectly vertical. You can also swivel the arm attachment at the pole so that the pivot joint is behind the pole to provide some additional space between yourself and the monitor.The laptop tray is about 35cm wide by 30cm long, nicely built and well ventilated should you choose to use it with a laptop. I just put a mobile phone, earphones and guitar picks on mine but if the arm can support my monitor then most laptops should be no problem at all.Overall I'm pretty pleased with this purchase. It's not a very adjustable arm if you intend to frequently move things around, but if you just want monitor/laptop arms that you intend to keep fairly static then these should do a pretty solid job at a fair price.

Been living with this for a couple of months now and thought I would update the review.Initial thoughts,Really well packaged, really easy to put together, sturdy, good desk attachment options supplied, plenty of hooks and wire tidying available.6 Months inSo, it's stood the test of time well.I use it daily for the day job and my side hustle so it gets a lot of use. I also use it with a Multi-Position standing desk, so it is in motion at least twice a day most days.It could do with having a taller/longer main pole - I'm only 5'10" but my monitor is at the very limit of what the stand will support - a little bit more real estate to move around would be nice.The monitor portion of the stand is doing great - I have a 27" monitor attached and even with all of the ups and downs it's solid. No side to side motion on the monitor unless I want it which is important, I have a monitor light and all of the cables are managed with the included clips 10/10The laptop tray is also solid, I swap out laptops depending on which hat I'm wearing and have 2 15@ laptops that I use, the laptop rest at the bottom of the tray could do with being slightly wider, but otherwise it's fine- no hint of a wobble after 6 months of daily use, so very pleased.

I'll never have monitors on stock stands moving forward, I need two new monitors + a solo arm and I'll be happy!Construction - I'd say a child could put this together without instructions ha, it's super basic. I did come into a problem with the size of the C-Clamp, it seems after looking everywhere there isn't a single brand that supports thicker desks ( wheres the BBD love at huh?) and my IKEA ALEX desk is around 14cm thick with most clamps reaching 8-10cm. To fix this I cut a hole into the desk at the back and positioned the locking screw to catch the edge of the cable tidy hole at the bottom, adding a piece of timber to give the main clamp something to grip. It seemed to work, but, if you have the ALEX desk then you know the cable tidy lid lifts, and this gave the stand wiggle room to move so I added an extra clamp to give it extra support. As you can see from the photos above.Build Quality - I can't really complain considering the price tag, as you can see from the pictures I added a few pieces of plastic under the laptop tray because it was moving around a little.Functionality - I'd say it's great if you plan to keep the set-up static and just want to free up retail space on your desk, however, longer arms would be great so that it reached out a little more. I had to install the stand to the left of my desk so I couldn't have the main display center.

I have a (very) small desk and needed something that could help me save space. To give you an idea, my desk is 20" (or 52cm) in depth and 31.5" (80 cm) in length. This product helped me suspend an 11" laptop and a 24" monitor in that (tiny) desk and also liberate space.I was concerned about reviews stating that the laptop tray and monitor stand were not sturdy enough. This was not the case with my purchase. It seems that it is all just a matter of tightening all the screws. The product is easy to assemble/install, instructions are clear and it comes with the main tools to do it. However, I had to use an additional screwdriver to tighten some screws in the laptop stand. The product allowed me to organise my home office station in an efficient way and in accordance with ergonomic standards (monitor at eye level and laptop in an obtuse angle in relation to the monitor). It also helped me liberate most of the space in my desk (where I can have a wireless keyboard, a mouse and a notepad).
