How thick does the desk surface need to be for the screws to mount this?

My desk is 1" thick. Now that it's installed, don't know how long the screws were.

3/4"in.use some extra screews if its press board use some glue on the screews its a nice tray very stable.
1289793
About half an inch, although if it's EXACTLY half an inch you may need to file down the tips of the enclosed 1/2" long machine screws, or buy some shorter ones

3/4" is plenty of thickness for this setup. It is heavy so use a lot of screws to keep in place.

I do not recall; I don't believe they were too large, but I have an Ikea bookcase extension that functions as a desk. It probably far thicker than your average desk.

Minimum is 3/4". If you need more info go to http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/ergonomics/home/additional/contactus/

Thicker than the length of the screw--unless you don't mind the sharp end of the screws sticking up through your desk top.

If you are able to pull the desk away from the wall, then you won't have a problem. And once installed, it extends -maybe- a third of an inch behind the desk. The problem is that there is about a 3-4 inch overhand, that mounts to the top and bottom of the desk section that you will need to fit. Hope this helps.

The clamp has an adjustable back plate that should accommodate a 2 3/4 desk. I measured the back plate and it 4 1/2 long. During installation you just mound the screw plate to the set of hole in the back plate that is the best fit for you desk thickness and then just tighten down the thumb bolts.

The metal assembly for attaching the tray to a desktop is heavy, and should be attached to solid wood 1.5" In. thick or more The unit is not very stable (without adding side stabilizers) to the keyboard when used at full width however.

No ... My desk is roughly 3/4" or 1" wood. The screws are roughly 1/2" wood screws that are drilled upward from the bottom of my desk; they did not come up through the wood and there is no hole in the top of my desk. I want to say either 6 or 8 bottom up screws - no holes in the top.

The screws aren't that long, maybe 5/8". The bracket being screwed onto the bottom of the desktop takes up some of that. Best to measure the screws and top thickness to be sure. Bigger issue may be drilling too deep into the desk top from underneath. Use tape or permanent marker to mark your drill bit where you have to stop drilling. With a thinner top, buy 6 shorter screws at the hardware store, or add a couple of small washers as spacers to use up some screw length.

Its deep enough for the 1 inch screw and more. I think its about 2 inch deep, I will check again tomorrow night when I go to work to answer more specifically.

Um, no, Jeffrey. As you can see, this 4-monitor stand has a 2-screw clamp. The inner sides of the clamp (which is about 4x4 inches) are padded to avoid damage to the desk. If you do buy this item, make sure your desktop is at least 1 3/4 inches thick. The monitor stand is not that heavy, but having four monitors will make it moderately heavy. So, if you're relying on cheap furniture like particleboard, forget it, as you'll risk cracking and breaking a chunk off your desk and dropping the monitors in the process.By the way, this stand is one of the best things I've ever bought.

It looks to be 2 inches deep, and looks like it will work on a desk surface up to 1.5 inches thick. The bottom portion of the clamp (the part that screws to tighten) also has a roughly 2 inch pad. So it has a fair amount of surface area to hold it in place.

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.

Suggest you use make a template for screw hole position (unless you have help holding the tray) then use an ice pick to make a starter hole in the bottom of desk for the mount.

It is a little less than one inch thick. It does come with some mounting "feet" which are approximately 1/4 inch thick which could probably be omitted.

dunno exactly, my hanging cabinet doesn't have a way for me to see the thickness of the bottom board. I would say "standard" thickness - screws went in far enough to firmly hold the racks but did not puncture through the wood inside the cabinet. I suggest 2 people task - 1 hold the rack up, 1 (power drill) screw it. Task is fast and easy and the rack looks luxurious.

Yes. That is what I attached mine to. My desk top is just a shelf piece used in closets so it's not real thick. It works great!

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

The screws seemed relatively short to me, certainly less than an inch long. There are several screws. I was using a hollow-core door as a desktop, and after I bought this drawer, my roommate made me a new desktop out of solid plywood, 5/8" thick, and the screws went into that nicely. The Fellowes keyboard drawer is very sturdy, and I like it a lot, once it was assembled.

Surface mounts with two screws (included). Size 6" long by 4" wide--nice quality.Note: head will hang down not up as in the picture
