I'm a graphic artist and I bought this stand for my drawing monitor because the stand that came with it didn't help my back and neck posture. This stand will easily hold a 16.5" XP Pen tablet (more like a 17" tablet). Very durable and doesn't move when I put my hand on it to paint. The material of the stand is high quality metal, not cheap plastic. It's quite a hassle to get it in the right angle, but you don't have to worry about hesitation once you get it in the right position.
