I use this stand for a wide PC monitor. I want a 2nd for my old eMac &amp; put the 2 side-by-side on a sturdy desk. Problem: eMac is 50 lbs. Would it hold the eMac OK in very calm site???

Absolutely, I bet you could sit on it. As long as the weight is evenly distributed, It will hold a ton.

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.

I agree that the monitor size is not a big issue as the stand is very sturdy and should hold it OK. Your keyboard should be OK except it may not leave a lot of room for the mouse. We really like the stand so that we do not always need to be sitting or standing.

This stand is only rated for 13 lbs per monitor. Mine are over 20 and caused it to sag a lot. So I've just got a little stand/stick under each side monitor to help support it. I tried tightening the nuts as much as I could and it still couldn't support the heavier monitors.

I have this desk. I do not know its weight, but it is not light, and very stable. The only problem that I have is that the task is higher than normal computer desk. If you are tall, maybe it is not a problem at all.

I think the correct answer is "maybe"... but it would be touch-and-go, depending on the weight of the monitor. I have an Apple Thunderbolt 27" display, and the "secondary" height adjustment spring, which allows you to fine-tune the height of the monitor, isn't strong enough to hold the display up off the keyboard arm reliably. For me, that's OK, resting on the keyboard arm (upper part of the L, not down on the keyboard itself) is just about the right height sitting or standing. However, if you care to have that secondary adjustment, I think a monitor as heavy or heavier than the Apple Thunderbolt 27" is going to be an issue. Good luck.

i have 2 monitors and a vertical dual monitor rack on it. total weight is about 50 lbs and the desk is fine.

I sent mine back. It would hold the weight of my 23" all-in-one desktop on the wall, but the articulating swivel would not hold it in the correct position. I would slowly sag until it completely dropped forward.

I'm not sure I totally understand the question but I have my printer on this stand. It is very solid and would easily fit a monitor and keyboard. I don't think it is tall enough to use as a stand up converter.

1" - this is the best stand ever. very strong. seems like it should bow in the middle but it doesn't budge. we have a 27" imac on it.

The weight of the monitors must stay balanced, too much weight to the left or right will caused the stand to fall in that direction. I don't know how well the monitor behind the first will hold out, because the feet of the stand only face one direction, if you swung the 2nd monitor out it may cause the stand to fall over. Hope that helps

Does the monitor have a base that is smaller than 27 inches? The rear of the work area platform is tapered, so if the monitor is free-standing along its entire width, then I would be concerned about stability. If the monitor has a base and is supported by on a stand it should be okay. You might want some sticky rubber pads to keep the base from sliding around on the work surface though.

My screens are 19 and 14 pounds and it holds just fine at max extention (~2ft). However mine is mounted through a 1 inch mdf desktop with 2 inches of clearance from the edge of the desk. When I was using the clamp to decide where to permanently mount it, the arm was a little unstable and I did not feel comfortable leaving them mounted like that for any extended amount of time. The arm is definitely strong enough to hold both your monitors, it's more a question of how you plan on mounting it.In short; it will hold just fine if you don't use the clamp and have a good solid desktop.

The weight is 100% not an issue. The only question is will both arms reach to the center of each monitor and I'm pretty confident that they would. Based on pattywagon's answer that he uses it with 2x 27" I'm quite confident that you would be fine.For reference. I use mine with a u3014 (landscape) and a 22" monitor (in portrait) with no issues.

It depends on the mass of monitor. I have a ASUS PB278Q on these arms and it can't hold steady when I rise the monitor up. Because the arm only work good for a monitor between 9 and 20 pounds and PB278Q is 19.7 pound. Here's the official page of this product. I hope it's useful to you. http://www.ergotron.com/Products/tabid/65/PRDID/355/language/en-US/default.aspx

I don't recommend putting anything heavy on this stand. I only use it for my large books when teaching and never for any electronics. I personally don't feel it's sturdy enough for my laptop or projector without assistance. Hope this answers your question.
