Very well made. This is not a flimsy toy. All positions move very smoothly. The best one I've used and I'm in the technology business. Highly recommended.

I have to say, out of all of the purchases I have made on Amazon, this has been the worst. The independent Amazon seller who sold this to me was great in regards to shipping it to me at a blazing fast speed. The product, however, was just plain bad.

I opened up the packaging and took out the mount. Then I set it up using the directions and equipment provided.

When I mounted the monitor and placed it into position, which I have to admit was very difficult, I let it go. The stand seemed like it couldn't hold my 17" monitor - the monitor dropped onto my desk, as the arm failed to hold it.

I have to admit, for $16, this was kind of expected. I'd pay three times this price for a mount that actually works - and will most likely end up doing so.

"just grab your monitor and move it where you want it"

Well, grab it very firmly with two hands and you CAN move it, but don't expect good results. It's very rigid, and doesn't move smoothly at all. And when I try to raise the monitor, it simply falls back down to the desk. I emailed them for assistance, and I must admit they were very prompt in replying. Here's the answer I got from them, which didn't work:

"Here is a tightening procedure that we advise in your case:

*You will need a 3/16 and 5/32 Allen wrench

*Loosen the setscrew on the left slightly (1 turn should do it) with the 3/16 Allen wrench

*Tighten or loosen the larger bolt as needed with the 5/32 Allen wrench

*Re-tighten the setscrew

You should not need to turn them too far - turning too far will strip them. We actually now use Loctite on them to discourage this."

I gave it a try, and still couldn't get it to work properly. Needless to say, I'm returning mine and buying a different brand.

Maybe it's my really deep desk, but I can't get this thing high enough to be ergonomically correct. I'm not very tall so it's not that my chair is super high.
