This works reasonably well as a monitor stand for displays up to 35\" and 26.4 pounds it claims. I haven't tested to see if it really does handle those limits. It is disappointing to know that the USB port in the stand can really only be used for charging and not data the way that is implied with the blue USB connector that should indicate USB3 compatibility. Check your desk configuration to confirm that it's going to work for you because if it is too close to the wall you may find it challenging to position your monitor exactly where you want it to be. Also, because the bottom arm is at an angle it may limit what you can place underneath it in terms of height. For some people that may not be a problem, for others like me who want to place their laptop below their second monitor on this stand it is definitely a consideration. The stand clamps to the desk so the desk material (and/or frame) needs to be solid enough to take the torque that the monitor mounting arm puts on the desk as well as handling the overall weight - both of which are concentrated in the relatively small area of the desk clamp.
