I have a glass desk. Do you think the clamp mout would be safe to use on it ?
1684267
I wouldn't... Also don't get this mount. Not all monitor are evenly leveled

The clamp mount is extremely strong, but the entire weight of all three monitors is being pushed down on the singular stem. If you plan to push the mount next to wall and clamp it on your glass desk it might possibly work but just note that the glass desk needs to be atleast quarter of an inch to half an inch thick as the mount once full loaded is extremely top heavy and if not supported could buckle/break the end of your desk.

I wouldn't. the mount with 3 monitors on it is a lot of weight to have on a small section of glass.

If you stick a piece of plywood underneath the glass where the metal clams on it would probably be fine but that would be at the cost of aesthetics. As long as you place something underneath the desk where the metal discs clamp to distribute the load from the metal clamp to the desk it will be fine. If you do not want to see something underneath the glass then go for a stand that just rests on top of the glass

No. I wouldn't chance it, you have to clamp down pretty hard to get it to stay secure. I just dont know if glass can take the force without cracking

yea i have a glass desk too. i mounted the bracket to the wall, i dont think the glass can handle the weight.

It works on our glass topped dining room table, so there's no reason to believe it won't work on a glass desk. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure it would be very safe to do that if it's mounted just to 1/4" thick glass. If it was 5/8" or thicker it might work. There is a lot of force on the mounting area (the mount and monitors weight, plus the cantilever force from leverage). If you do mount it I would at a minimum put some kind of wood piece on the bottom to spread out the weight across a bigger area. Maybe a 6 inch wide piece of wood which is at least 1/2" thick, and runs out about 1 foot on each side? That might help and and not look too bad (you could paint it or something). The other problem is that glass doesn't do well when it is clamped hard. This thing gets tightened pretty tight and it may crack the glass.

Absolutely! Love the desk, very comfortable working space. Doesn't make room look crowded because of glass.

I don't quite understand the question, but I have this mount on my desk and it us a fantastic device to hold my 2 24" monitors. It's versatile, sturdy, functional and looks great. The screw type clamp device that fastens it to my desk is well constructed and easy to install. I haven't measured the clamp, but it will need a couple of inches from the edge of the desk lip, and the thickness of the desk surface isn't an issue because the clamp can accomodate a fairly thick edge. Hopefully this addresses your concernDavid

I wouldn't clamp directly to the desk since you want to clamp pretty tightly. Put something between the clamp and glass (cardboard, some rubber, etc) to help spread the clamping force. ONce you have it clamped it should be fine though, of course, it is now balanced to the edge where the mounting arm is. If you don't have the glass secured to the base then it could tilt. That's less of an issue with this particular arm and more an issue with any weight close to the edge. My desktop tilted back a bit before I remembered to rescrew it to the base. :)

I would not recommend using this clamp directly on the glass. The surface of the clamp is only about 3/4 inch in diameter on the bottom and is likely to break the glass. Using wood blocks on top and bottom of the glass and clamping to that would distribute the force of the clamp and possibly make it safe.

The two legs are of heavy construction and wrigh quite a bit. Plus angling the monitor on both sides inwards gives it stability....other it is more prone to fall backwards. There is also a vice clamp that can be used to secure it to desk. I am using a glass desk so I am unable to use clamp but have had no troubles.

Yes, you should be able to mount it with no problem.. the clamp is adjustable. But if the desk is not heavy enough and you are mounting the arm and monitor on the side, you may need to counter balance to keep the arm and monitor from tipping the desk. I have the arm and large monitor mounted on a very small portable laptop desk.. also have one mounted on a heavy desk with glass top. I just put a pad between the glass and the clamp and I have had no trouble with it. The only problem I have had is that if I swing the monitor away from the desk it will tip the desk..even the heavy desk.

Even if an extended arm is available, it's probably not advisable to use it. It would likely put too much weight too far from the base. The clamp (and the clamped area of the desk) is fairly small; I wouldn't want to put more twisting force through it by extending anything.

It would be a risky choice due to the combined weight of glass and wood. Personally, I'd be hesitant to use these clips with glass at all.

You certainly can, but you would be wasting desk space as the center piece of glass and supporting material would be wasted and this is a good bit of space. It is certainly more stable with the entire structure connected.

After measuring my mount, 2.25" is needed for the back to be fully flush with the desk. The clamps are pretty sturdy though, so if you tighten them enough, I don't foresee any issues with stability. Regarding thickness, my desk is also about that thick, but it's solid wood so I feel comfortable with it. Physically, the mount will be able to clamp onto the desk, but it's up to you to decide if the material of the desk is strong enough to support the setup.

There is plenty of adjustment on the clamp, which allows it to be attached to a thick table edge. Also the clamp is made very heavy duty to accommodate the weight of the lamp and its support arms. The lamp is very heavy and the design of the clamp is great to handle its load. Based on these assets, as long as you clamp it very tight, I would say yes.

Hello Paul, My experience with desk thickness is that should be fine. I operate a business and have bought dozens of various mounts. I clamped this one to a plate glass desktop (very thin) and a very thick desk top. The key to securing firmly is having enough lip for the clamp to slide unto and get a good grip. Some desks have no lip and some not very deep. If not a deep lip, the issue of course is not the top, but the underneath clamp or the knob. The knob may be to close to a side panel to turn. I some cases, I have trimmed down the knob to get closer. Which then requires using a tool to turn and get tight. But that has worked a number of times. I also have secured this mount through desktop by drilling when no lip. This is a fine mount for the price. Very sturdy. Best of Luck.

I use mine on the end of a straight floor stand, but it looks to me like you can use it with the table clamp.

Thats about how much is actually clamped onto my desk too, just make sure you use tools to tighten the clamp, I should also note, I modified the arms on mine to go 3 wide, on a 6x6 monitor system
