Why waste money on a coffee maker when an old tshirt and bucket could also be used? Or just find some cinderbocks in place of an office chair? Perhaps a tarp as opposed to a roof over your head? Better yet, a reused trashbag in place of clothing?

Maybe not all of us are going after that Mad Max vibe or (in my case) our wives won't let us?

BTW, wood would work fine but I don't know many people that have 10ga metal laying around that happens to be the exact size needed. Any larger metal pieces of metal would require something more substantial than tinsnips to trim and any smaller pieces of metal would be useless. Thinner metal aka metal that could be trimmed by non-metal working folk would be useless for such a task unless you sandwiched multiple together.

So yeah....$10, big whoop.

I was going to get some wood blocks for this purpose. Anyone use this product or anything like it successfully previously?

That's exactly the use case I am looking for. Thank you! Repped

Are the mount arms piston-style? Do you move them around much? Or are they mostly stationary?

Hi there,

I have a pretty thin wooden desk from Ikea, 1/2" thick, been using a 2"x4" wooden beam underneath a dual monitor mount for years now. I keep my monitors stationary most of the time but they are on hydraulic piston type arms and I do move them around once in a while to adjust them and recently changed a cable out without any issues. Blocks would work too but if you can get something a bit longer, say 6-12 inches in length it would help to distribute the weight a bit more evenly.

Hope that helps, cheers!

That is very helpful! I may actually try that. Since this is so cheap I'm going to get one and maybe use it for the surface top for the aesthetics, but also use your suggested method and get a longer block for underneath the table.


I'm also using an Ikea table (Linmon) and I think it's mostly just particleboard and I'm concerned about bowing over time.

I have a honeycomb IKEA desk with a hydraulic arm and a slab of wood underneath the desk holding up a 49" monitor for a few years now without issue. So I assume this does a good job also

I have a very thin corkboard wooden furrino desk. Been wanting to buy a monitor mount but worried it won't be able to handle the extra weight

Reviews are saying it's pretty big, I think I would get annoyed by the size.

I bought this exact item to help reinforce a thin IKEA desk that is supporting a triple monitor arm. I've been completely satisfied, though I am mad that I paid $20 for it towards the end of 2021.

so i wonder why anyone wants to waste $10 when they can replace it with a block of wood or literally any flat metal object they may have around the house?
