Solid mount. I was surprised it was put together ready to go. The ONLY THING I don't like about this is that you have 5 1/2" between the pole and the center monitor mount. That really pushes the monitors away from the pole quite a bit. So much that I'm going to be buying a different mount as I like my monitors sitting far back. But this is a great buy. Great quality. Very sturdy. And the monitors are pretty much aligned great.
