Amazon Basics Single Monitor Stand - Height Adjustable Arm Mount, Steel, Black

I recently got the Amazon Basics Single Monitor Stand, and it’s been a game-changer. The build quality is excellent — solid steel that feels very sturdy and stable. The height adjustment is smooth and precise, making it easy to position my monitor exactly where I want it. It also frees up a lot of desk space, which makes my workspace feel much cleaner and more organized. Installation was straightforward, with clear instructions and all the necessary hardware included. Overall, a simple, durable, and highly functional monitor arm that I would recommend to anyone looking to improve their setup.

I share a desk with my other half... it's my desk really, but she has a computer tucked underneath that she can use from time to time. I purchased this monitor arm to try and maximise the desk space available by being able to get rid of the monitor stand and also to be able to push the monitor out of the way when not in use, but also be able to pull the monitor out and have it at a suitable viewing angle when actually in use. This monitor arm does this perfectly. The desk I have is pretty sturdy so it has a good surface to clamp to. I'm not sure I'd want to clamp this to something like the IKEA Linnmon desks are they're pretty hollow and not very rigid... but that's more a fault of the desk than the arm. Just something worth mentioning to make sure you're not attaching this to something too weak to hold it. The product itself is very well made. I expected a much weaker, more flimsy product for this price and especially considering it has "Basics" in the brand name... but it's absolutely solid, decently thick steel. There's no way it'll bend or flex easily. Really easy to put together, took only about 10 minutes or so to completely set it up on the desk. Adjustability is great, the arm is a little bit stiff so it may take a bit of time to make it easier to move about, but it's generally pretty good. I'm not entirely sure of the specs of the monitor, but it's a fairly beefy ASUS 27" unit... Absolutely no issues holding this monitor, no adjustments needed to make it support the weight. I was in the market for two monitor stands and decided this one would cut it for that monitor, but for my own Samsung 34" ultrawide, I wasn't convinced it'd be sturdy enough so bought a different arm for that. Admittedly I haven't tested it, but having now physically seen and felt the product, I'd be almost happy to say this would likely have held that ultrawide monitor as well. The cable management is quite good for such a simple thing as well. The pole is basically hollow with a hole at the bottom rear. There is then a plastic cap that keeps the top of the pole neat and tidy once you've run your cables... It's very basic but does such a great job... and the rear exit is a very welcome feature as I've seen others that come from the front and you end up with the cables shoved right in view. The rear helps keep them hidden and tidy, you'd barely even know the cables were there! For such a basic monitor arm, I highly, highly recommend this product.

I’ve been using the Amazon Basics Dual Monitor Stand for a few weeks now with two 24-inch monitors, and overall I’m very happy with it. Build quality is excellent — the steel construction feels solid and confidence-inspiring, especially for the price. Once everything is tightened properly, the arms hold the monitors firmly with no sagging or wobble. Height adjustment and tilt work smoothly, and the 360-degree rotation makes it easy to switch between landscape and portrait if needed. Installation was straightforward, but it does take a bit of time. I’d recommend assembling it on the desk before mounting the monitors, and having a second person helps when lifting the screens into place. The VESA mounts lined up perfectly with my monitors. The cable management clips are simple but effective — not fancy, but they do help keep things tidy and reduce desk clutter. A couple of minor downsides: • The adjustment joints are quite stiff at first (which is good for stability, but expect to use some force) • No built-in gas spring, so height adjustments aren’t as quick as more expensive arms • Instructions are basic, but usable That said, considering the price, this stand offers excellent value. If you want a reliable, sturdy dual monitor arm without paying premium-brand prices, this is a great choice. Would definitely recommend for home office or workstation setups.

Sturdy, easy to install, and very smooth to adjust. It holds my monitor securely and frees up a lot of desk space. Definitely worth it and highly recommended.

BACKGROUND -------------------------------------- This is my second monitor stand - my first one was a single one from a different manufacturer, as I recently purchased a 24" screen to mount in portrait mode. The previous one was very sketchy with such a huge monitor on it, despite the monitor being within load limits.... PROS -------------------------------------- - MUCH easier tilt adjustment than previously - can hold my Samsung CF791 without falling (the CF791 is notorious for having an AWFUL VESA mount that makes keeping it still an extreme challenge) - Cable routing through the stand (when I get around to it...) - Nowhere near the amount of lean previously noticed with other screens - Easy angle/height adjustment even when locked in place without much undoing required CONS -------------------------------------- - Still leans....see pictures. Not much of a con though, as short of a piece of structural steel, a 34" ultrawide will always make these stands lean - Dual base clamp wheels, which are tricky to get level, especially on IKEA desks where it's easy to overtighten and destroy the desk SUMMARY -------------------------------------- This stand is night-and-day compared to what I had before, and I'm very impressed at it's value. The stand itself is huge in diameter, and has a really neat cable route that can fit kettle-leads and HDMI cables with ease. It leans, and bends, but this is to be expected, and it's very slight. It doesn't appear to be getting worse. It can also fit an ultrawide as long as you only use a 24" for the second screen - this current setup has maxed out the arm width, so a 27 would not fit. Nor would the 24 in landscape mode. Assembly was simple! FOR IKEA DESK USERS: This stand will have the same issues as any other with certain desks - if like me you've got a honeycomb desk, it'll crush it with the added weight of two monitors. I have fixed the slight lean in its entirety by cutting two pieces of solid wood, and sandwiching the desk between them where the monitor stand clamps. The stand is FAR stronger like this, as the load is spread out!

It works perfectly, very, very sturdy due to the double clamp. Yes, you can't adjust the height of each screen (but you can adjust the overall height), but honestly not an issue at all. The quality is really there with this stand, love it so much

Largely good, held a 32” Samsung monitor fairly well, main reason I stopped using it was it was prone to wobbling which I was not a fan of. To be totally honest not terrible for the price, I’d just like something more stable

This monitor arm has completely transformed my home office desk. Before I had the monitor sitting on a chunky stand taking up loads of desk space, now it floats at the perfect height and I've gained back so much room underneath for my keyboard, mouse mat and general desk space. The height and tilt adjustment is smooth and stays exactly where you put it, no slow drooping over time which I was worried about with a budget arm. Assembly was straightforward, took about 15 minutes with the included Allen keys. The desk clamp is solid and doesn't wobble at all, even when I adjust the screen position. It holds my 27 inch monitor without any issues and the cable management channel on the back of the arm keeps everything tidy. Being able to push the screen right back against the wall or pull it forward for detailed work is really useful when you spend all day at a desk working from home. The steel construction feels properly sturdy and the black finish matches my desk setup nicely. For the price point this is excellent value compared to more expensive brands. Only minor thing is the instructions could be clearer but it's intuitive enough to figure out.
