Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Mount-It! Vertical VESA Monitor Mount with Telescoping Pole - Adjustable Stand for 19-30 Inch Screens by Eric Grayson

Worst Product Revain Sells

Buy EVERYTHING else especially the VIVO brand. I've been looking for a monitor stand that can support my weight of 27 pounds for a long time. I finally found someone who could do 22, but finally found someone who said 33 was a miracle! until it arrived Btw I bought the one at 22 to use with another monitor that only weighs 13 pounds. I took it out of the box and was amazed at how heavy it felt. I attached everything and got ready to mount my monitor on it, but noticed that the telescoping function was stuck in the up position. A little effort loosened it, but I found that the plastic part didn't hold it in place no matter how hard I tightened it. See the picture to see how much I put it on. The curved handle was so useless that I simply replaced it with a similarly threaded screw that still couldn't get it to grab the bar. As I walked along, I tried to land the monitor and it really hit home. But the security "screw" with another useless crank handle was not properly tightened. I retrieved the identical screw and used it to align the threads on the bracket. Not healthy. I added a washer and tightened the security screw 100%, but my $1100 monitor still sagged like Eeyore. For a second I managed to get him to stay, but he immediately returned to a hunched position. I knew it was a losing battle. So I gave up and replaced it with a discontinued VIVO mount I bought on Facebook for $10. Guess what?! The monitor, exceeding the stated limits, stood by happily with no sign of stress. So I put it off to try my luck with a 13lb monitor. Of course, a mount rated at 33 can handle 13, right? nope This puts less strain on the slope, but the pole cannot be fixed. You can see in my second picture that the plastic clamp is not within the stem's tolerances and therefore there is a large empty space where it should clamp it. With these parts, this thing will never last. Not only does it work poorly, it doesn't work at all. I have ordered hundreds of items from Revain and this was absolutely the worst, nowhere near what was advertised. Avoid this at all costs. Don't trust this thing with your very expensive screens. It would be as wise as letting a wild tiger look after your children.
