Maybe a silly question, is there a clamp on the base or do I have to drill a hole through the desk to keep it secure?

There is a heavy base that attaches to the stand for it to be set on a desk. You can remove the base and bolt the stand to a desk if you wanted to though. The base is pretty sturdy and easily heavy enough to hold 3 22" LED monitors.

There is a clamp come with it if you mount it through the hole on your desk, otherwise the base itself does not need a clamp to hold down.

If you use the feet, they work fine with no additional support. Otherwise, you have to drill a hole through the desk and used the provided bolt to secure it. This is a horrible quality stand, it does not hold the monitors level. I would recommend finding an alternative, please see other reviews more information.

There's no clamp but you also don't need to drill a hole as it's pretty stable when it stands on the base.

Unless your monitors are super heavy, there's no need. I've had no issues with it tilting and it has been very solid.

Part of the lamp base fits in the top of the desk and a part of the base fits under the lip of the desk. Simple tighten down both upper and lower base snugly against the desk. This works only on a desk that the top over laps the desk by an inch or so

If you really wanted this desk you could just drill holes for the base board to go on the opposite side of the bottom of the desk. And turn the desk the other way. I hope what I'm trying to say isn't confusing.

James, You do not need to attach, drill, use clamps, or screw anything onto a desk top or table. The base is heavy and supports easily two 20" screens. It also provides clips to keep cords neat and orderly.Hope this helps. Ali

There are pre-drilled holes for the raised platform. You could use the desk without it, but you would have holes in the desk unless you found something to cover them up.

No way that I'm aware of to secure to the base. My lamp sits on a desk with a raised hutch-like area, which is where the lamp sits. I've never had a problem with running into it. I figured that the reason the lamp wasn't secured to the base was so that it could be adjustable. Hasn't been a problem for me, but I guess that it could be for others, depending on one's work area.

A question for the manufacturer, I suspect, as I saw nothing in the online data to suggested a weighted base exists. I wanted a wall-mount so I screwed a 1.5 x 1.5 x 6" block to the wall horizontally, and clamped the lamp to the block.If your desktop is truly too deep for the clamp, you might try screwing a block to the back of the desk and clamping to the block.

It definitely does not need to be clamped to a desk. Mine stands alone in the middle of my desk and is nicely balanced and stable.

It clamps to the edge of a desk or table very nice. You then screw the clamp tight to grip the desk. You don't actually drill a hole or anything into the desk/table. Is a great product!

Mine is attached with about the same amount of desk space and is very stable even though part (maybe 1/4) of the clamp flange is beyond the edge of the desk. Since the center of the clamp is under the desk, it works quite well.

You can clamp it to the back or drill a hole, it comes with the stuff to do it either way. I mounted mine to the back and it has worked very well, the desk has a hutch, I just made a small cutout for the bracket to fit through.

Yes. If you don't use bottom feed (hole in desk) the unit can be clamped onto the edge of the desk.

My desk is pretty close to the wall, I had to slide the mount into place from the side to get it onto the desk. As for the L Clamp, I'm using the bottom two holes, and i had to crawl under my desk and screw in both bolts to clamp down on the desk. There is no way to modify or change the physical mounting point to the desk and how it functions that I am aware of. My desk has a back board, but it is recessed to create a lip that I was able to clamp onto. I wish I could take pictures to explain but, the top surface of the desk is only about 2 inches from the wall, the back board is maybe about 4 inches give or take from the wall.

I believe the clamp will work on your desk. The range of the clamp is 3/32" to 2-3/8", so your desk would be close to the lower clamp limit. There is a small layer of foam on the top part of the clamp, but you'd probably want to add a flat piece of rubber or other insulation on both sides of the desk where you clamp, to protect the desk and maybe help a little with vibrations.

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. :)

It has a fairly sturdy clamp that attaches to the far side of the desk, or you can drill some holes in the desk and bolt it in place. It seems pretty effective.
