Makes clean work at a reasonable price

Wanted monitor mounts for a long time. I use my home office for a variety of tasks, and having different monitor settings is incredibly helpful. I had monitors in my office for a number of years and I really liked them so I wanted to have them in my home. It's just that the workplace and the cost have always been prohibitive. I got a new desk this year with lots of space and then I stumbled upon these not-too-expensive hands. First, they're really strong and clean. At a price that's arguably half that of its more upscale rivals, I think those are the most important things. I went with gray hoping it would blend in with my white walls and generally it does. And when I do notice it still looks nice and clean. And it's strong enough. Clamped to my desk, it doesn't seem to weigh against him or the weight of my monitors. I currently have a size mismatch and even when both are at their furthest apart or most unbalanced position it never shows any sign of tilting. The worst thing I can say about the balance is that my large monitor can wobble a bit when the table moves, but that may be due to leaving my hand too free to keep it moving and that its Vesa mount sits oddly on top. not in the middle. This leads to some small disadvantages that I have. First, its range of motion may seem odder than others I've used at work. In order to move the monitor closer to the center, I really need to move it away from the back of the table towards me. This can really reduce the depth of my workspace, especially since my hands can seem to carry it to the front edge of my desk. Maybe it's not an issue for everyone and maybe I'm still doing a little wrong, but I'm also adapting to what's happening so I don't reset points. Next comes wire covers/guides. They work quite well, although they are a little awkward to use at first and space is a bit limited. I had trouble installing the 2 display connectors and power cable. They also have lever-to-lever gaps where the cable is visible, which is a bit undesirable, but I'm not sure there's an alternative either. Finally a mixed bag of Allen keys. This is a good way to solidify the connection securely and I know my office uses it. But I also find it a bit unwieldy compared to, for example, the large hand screws for my microphone arm. This also applies to the height of the base of the arm on the support post. I only realized after placing them that the higher vesa mount on a large monitor means the smaller monitor can go much higher than it's highest setting and I would have liked that range of motion but where I have it now, he can only move it. down, which is near the table. The problem is that due to the weight of both monitors, it's difficult/poor to detach the base of the arm to raise it without removing the monitors, which is very cumbersome. This is another issue I've created for myself that may not affect everyone, so I won't be resetting the points. Especially if the bottom of the rack provides a special place for neat and convenient storage of both keys.
