Is possible to mount these on a 1/2" particle board desk?

the obvious, but questionable answer is yes. i say this because particle board construction may be very dense (ok) or loose ( not ok) . 1/2 inch does not give a lot to put screws into. as many screws as there are holes would probably work ok. better yet is to do a bolt from the top thru the bracket. i would also use a washer and a round headed bolt if possible. counter sinking for a flat head may be use, just a few more. it all has to do with the quality and strength of the 1/2 board to support the weight you are applying. contact again if you have any questions, i'll be gals to help you. the obvious, but questionable answer is yes. i say this because particle board construction may be very dense (ok) or loose ( not ok) . 1/2 inch does not give a lot to put screws into. as many screws as there are holes would probably work ok. better yet is to do a bolt from the top thru the bracket. i would also use a washer and a round headed bolt if possible. counter sinking for a flat head may be use, just a few more. it all has to do with the quality and strength of the 1/2 board to support the weight you are applying. contact again if you have any questions, i'll be gals to help you.

I mounted it on a hollow core Ikea desktop, just don't over torque the screws. You may need shorter screws than what comes with the holder

The best solution I have found is to epoxy two metal plates to the underside of the desk and then use sheet metal screws to attach the keyboard tray to the metal plates. A standard wood desktop is 3/4", but particle board may vary and is not a reliable material for trays of this style.

No. You have to assemble them. It isn't difficult, just takes a screwdriver or allen wrench. The assembly time would be worth the cheaper price. It's the inferior construction of particle board that makes me recommend against them.

Probably, but it may depend on the thickness of your desk. You might want to measure the thickness and ask the seller directly.

The screws that I received were short enough for the 5/8" thick desk top, but I did not think that they were large enough to securely fasten the keyboard drawer to the desk top that I had, especially in particle board. I believe that I used either No. 8 or No. 10 size, 1/2" long sheet metal screws.

The lip on the back of my desk is 2 1/8", and it was a close call. 2" would probably work but the mount will not slide completely flush. And you may scrape your knuckles tightening it down. The mount is adjustable for a very wide range of thicknesses, you'll want to use the shortest of the three choices. My desk is 1 1/2" thick - at 3/4" I'd want to be sure the material it's made out of can take the weight. Unless your desk has a flimsy top, it should work fine.

I mounted them on a 1 1/2" tab 2" long vertically they come with a metric bolt close to 3/8" UNF. I'd think it would work well maybe you'd have to use a different bolt to mount it but the bracket allows plenty of adjustment.

Completely depends on the type of desk l and material. I used 3/4" x #12 wood screws to mount to the underside of a wooden shelf.

Not likely. The sides, top & bottom are thick, about 1/2". The back, however, is a "slide-in" piece that is only about 1/8" thick. You would have to use brackets or some kind of shelf to mount them. Diane Z.

I don't remember exactly how long they are, but they're lag screws, probably 3 or 4 inches. The weight of the arm plus the weight of the monitor will require a very substantial screw. Mounting into a 1" thick piece of beech wood wouldn't hold the weight, it really needs to go into a wood stud. Or maybe a machine screw/washer/nut combo could work depending on how heavy the monitor is. Either way, you'd absolutely see the hardware on the back side.

Yes. You would need to obtain some self tapping screws from your local hardware store. Of course you could get some 5 minute epoxy and epoxy two small pieces of wood (firing strips) to the desk bottom and use standard screws to attach the tray. I really like my tray and would take the time if need be to attach it to your favorite desk. Good luck with it.

That depends on the size of the board that you mount them to. Additionally, I would be happier with the product if it had two more inches of travel. It is extremely well made.

Maybe but would require some substantial mount. They are larger and heavier than most bookcases speakers.

Yes. Comes with parts to mount right to the desk. You have to drill a hole in the desk

Would be possible but the bolts would be very close to the edge of the boards and may break out. We used 2x10 boards.

The monitors will not sit on the desk due to the one inch stand base, but they do come within an 1" - 1 1/2" for the desktop

I have no clue. If they are magnetic surfaces I assume so. Sorry I cannot give you a better answer. I use them as message boards for my newsletters, etc by my desk.
