It is exactly what I needed. Heavy and sturdy. The swivel and elbow gives me lots of options. I use my desk for my work computer and my personal computer. This allows me to swing one monitor in front of the other as needed. I had to add a bit of wood to make the fit more snug (as others suggested) and I did that simply by cutting the end off a large paint stir stick. The clips to hold the cables aren't that great but I just used zip ties and it holds the cables perfectly.
