This monitor stand is sturdy, and was easy to install. Well, it WOULD have been easy to install, except that my desk is in a small cubicle, and that made it hard to get the clamp through the inch-wide space between my desk and the wall. I had to unscrew part of my desk from the cubicle wall to get the clamp through the hole. It would have been nice if the C clamp could have been taken apart so that the back could slip through a small space. Still with all that said, I'm happy with it.
