Workspace planning
Compare a monitor arm's published specifications with your screens and desk. Specification fit and desk safety are separate checks.
Two separate checks
Still needed: how this arm attaches, Monitor 1, and Monitor 2.
Arm and preset figures come from manufacturer sources we recorded. Your desk is not selected from a catalog, so this page does not treat any named desk as clamp-approved.
It compares manufacturer-published figures for the arm with the monitor weights, VESA patterns, and mount details you enter. Use the panel weight without the stand. The boxed weight includes the foot you are about to remove.
It cannot certify that a desk can take a clamp. A general or concentrated load rating is not clamp-mount approval. Unknown VESA, unpublished clamp ranges, and missing desk guidance stay unknown.
Need to check whether two screens fit across the desk first? Use the Desk width calculator. The related guides below cover dual monitor arms and standing desks.

The guides behind the numbers: monitor arms, desk width, and which desk to pick.
Makers lead with how high a standing desk goes. In a spare bedroom the numbers that decide it are how low it comes down, how deep the top is and how wide your monitors are. Ten desks compared on those three, with a pick for a narrow room, a shorter person, a tight budget and an app.
A light monitor can be too light for a gas spring arm, and a flat-pack top has its own limit for a clamp's concentrated load. Ergotron, HUANUO and VIVO arms against Dell panel weights and IKEA tabletop limits, with a pick for a solid desk, a light panel, an ultrawide and a flat-pack top.
