Make sure the table mount (threaded end) is first pressed securely over the pivot ball then tighten the nut. Had same issue when I tried to use this if the threaded end was not pressed over the ball it will pull the nut off.

Make sure the table stand is pushed completely over the ball and snaps into position. Then tighten the lock nut. I had the same problem when i first opened the holder. But they really work well.

You have to first PUSH the BALL into the socket until it 'snaps' into the socket. The nut then just tightens it down.

Push it completely on the Mount I made an error when I set my mine up and I discovered that you need to completely push it on Mount it is an awesome device

adam w evans answer seems like a great answer. I didn't have the problem you describe, nor have I had to adjust the screw mentioned.

Make sure not to put the screws in too tight. Keep them on the looser side, this will avoid the marks (however it will make the table a bit less sturdy) Our friend has the same table and had no issue until it was a little loose so her boyfriend tightened them to 'normal' tightness. A month later 3 of the 4 corners had the marks. The 4th corner ended up being a little loose and had no mark. They did attempt to get it replaced within a year but couldn't, I think they gave her a small refund. I had a similar experience a while ago too. For the price it's a deal but after time it will show some wear, not unreasonable at this price though. Make sure not to put the screws in too tight.

We do have a wood, skirt table, and I thought they would clamp tightly enough to our table. Even after checking to make sure it was secure, it somehow still came off our table! I even reread the instructional brochure to make sure I didn't make an error in regards to use and my weight limit. I wouldn't take a chance!

Use the tab on the end of the mount to flex the mount a little - that makes the little latch disengage from the notch in the back of your gps. Then slide off.

The peace under the arm that you twist to make it tight to the table can be on something that is not perfectly flat. However, it should be on something basically flat and in such a way that it will not slide. If it slides then you are in trouble. If it goes on crooked but in such a way that it is not going to move around you should be fine, within limits of course. The under table clamp is 1/2" or maybe a more from the edge of the table. so, if the decorative bevel is not too deep or does not extend too far from the edge of the table it should be find. I suspect you could have a decorative bevel one inch below the bottom of the table that extends one inch of the edge of the table and the arm will work find. No guarantee, but I feel reasonable confident that should not be a problem. If the clamping part hits the bevel but also hits the bottom of the table and will tighten in that position you should also be find. Again, no guarantees but I believe that would also work. Good luck, it's a great arm and very strong. The mounting bracket has several adjustments and in the worse case you can drill a single small hole through the table and put the locking peace directly under the table and it doesn't matter what that hole is. You can mount in in the middle of your desk (bad idea) or off to the side or close to the front, whatever you want, but you have to be willing to drill the hole. Good luck.

I haven't had that trouble. You might try using a wrench to tighten te thumb screw enough so they can't swivel it. I didn't have the grip strength to tighten the bracket enough to be sturdy when I mounted it. I used a wrench and it is fine now. Good luck!

Yes - it is due to the screws being tightened. It happened to both of ours after some time as well as a third one a neighbor had. If you very gently tighten them (but not all the way) you can avoid the spots but then the table is not 100% sturdy. The spots are from the pressure points.

This has not happened with either mount that we have purchased. It may be due to over tightening of the CD inset itself. Make sure it is snug, but do not exert additional force for set-up.

I wish I could help you..don't recall having that problem! Carefully examine the buttons that you depress to rotate it. But I'm at a loss as to the screw.

I love the mount and it can be very secure. You may have to press down hard on the turned down end of the rail to disengage the rail, and then pull the unit away along the rail.Cheers, Tom

You have to remove the mounting piece (comes screwed to underside of table top) attach to the pedestal, and then attach the table top.

The table seems to have been applied with a "protective agent" similar to a varnish. It comes with a list of "dos/donts" to maintain it from scratches. My main problem with it is the weak connection between the table and the stand. It has toppled over several times! I just don't know what to do to make it stable and secure.

You could try checking the tension using the instructions in the manual. If it's too loose it will come off.

I have not been able to take my mount off. Seems like it's kind of stuck there.

Our tables and bases are not bolted together. There is a mount screwed into the table top, this is then screwed onto the base, or off again as needed. We have not yet taken them apart, they have remained very stable.

Make sure you have installed each leg footing properly, plus the midbrace that comes with it. My table is tight, balanced and perfectly functional. Good luck!
