Hi all,

I'm looking for a monitor arm to reduce clutters on my desk.

But the clamp that most monitor arm is only able to support up to 10cm of depth.

Last MCO I upgraded my desk from Ikea to a proper desk which comes with drawers to put all my stuffs. But the issues now is I can't find a suitable monitor arm that also fits my desk.

Let me know if you come across any.

Can you mount on the wall behind(assuming desk against the wall)

Previously I used one that double pivot so could move 50cm in/out and swing and rotate

I think the monitor arm will come with a bracket/clamp assembly with adjustable height to suit the environment. I am using one which allows me to adjust the clamp height.

Either you get something like this

Or get a TV stand like this

Another option is to mount it to wall.

The more extreme option is to drill a hole through the table. Some monitor arm supports that kind option, where you use a long screw to hold the arm and the table together.

EDIT:

Do you mean 10cm thick table?. Perhaps use grommet mount instead of clamp to the tabletop surface. But you do need to check clearance

I really appreciate all the replies in such short amount of time. smile.gif Should've asked here instead of browsing for the past couple of days.

Yes, thank you for the suggestion. That's certainly an option although we prefer not to cause damage to our wall.

Yes, but most clamp only supports up to 10cm. My desk is 12cm unfortunately.

Thank you. The first one is my first choice, but unfortunately that also supports only up to 12cm.

The TV stand looks like a good alternative and doesn't damage the wall - thank you for the suggestion.

Yes, the table is thick (12cm) because it comes with drawers. I will look up grommet mount if there's one that can support my desk.
