Instruction: Answer the given question using the supporting document.

Input:
Question: Will the c-clamp scratch or dent the desk when I mount it? The rubber feet seem very thin and I have a nice solid wood desk.
Document: I was a little hesitant to buy this kind of a &#34;pole&#34; desk mount because it looked a little too obtrusive, but this mount is really nice. It's solid, stable for my 24&#34; monitor, and easily adjusted.
This product is a real game changer for desktop comfort. It attaches best to a solid desk (wood, not plastic), but you can come up with creative solutions otherwise. I surprised my girlfriend with one and while she never has even considered getting a monitor mount, there is now no going back for her.I'll try to post a few pictures of our set-up. One tall pole model and two short pole models.
This arm is quite heavy and solid, but it moves efficiently and with ease. I am able to adjust the screen to be at the perfect angle and height with little effort at all. When in place, it remains until physically adjusted.I did have an issue with my desk's lip being too much for the clamp (A secretary style desk with a larger lip on the back - or rather front, for those walking into the office).
Once it's setup it's nearly rock solid. Setting it up however is not so easy. The included paper instructions are about as minimal as possible, and some things aren't explained at all. The instruction manual available on Ergotron's website has a few extra steps, but is still quite lacking.I'm used to dealing with instructions that are overly lacking in information, but the instructions included with this are worse than normal.Once the arms are in position and tightened, this mount is quite sturdy. It also looks very nice.
This product has many positive attributes. One is its solid build. This is a well-made stainless steel product that is durable. Excellent build quality. Another positive is that it can be mounted in a large number of positions. It can be mounted, via clamp, on a variety of positions on a desk. In addition, it can also be mounted via a screw that can be attached to a desk via an available hole in the desk or a hole that one can drill into the desk.
And it's too bad Ergotron has to get a low review from a customer because of Ingram's poor service. I would imaging that this LX Arm would be nice if it didn't seem like it was used for the last year. It doesn't seem tight and the adjustments don't hold the secondary pivot arm in place that well. The construction quality is pretty good, but again it seems like it was used by someone at Ingram for a while before they packaged it back up and shipped it out to me.
Having had this mounting arm for about a month, I am so far quite pleased. It seems to be very well designed and constructed; not only does it seem durable (all structural components are solid metal, the only plastic parts are some small removable coverings), but it adjusts smoothly and has a great range of motion.
This is a nice mount. We use it in our home office for a second screen when we connect our laptops. It moves nicely and has a good range. It isn't the prettiest mount but our desk is against a wall so you can't see it. If you have a nice desk that is displayed outwardly, I'm not sure I would use it unless you don't mind seeing the mounting pieces. You could always drill it into the top of the desk as well.
There are cheaper monitor stands, and I used one for a while, but this offers a pretty robust arm that absorbs vibration from typing well, and firmly keeps the monitor in position. It also allows me to easily raise, lower, spin, and move forward and backward the monitor, holding it in any possible position. The clamp system used to hold it to the desk is also very substantial, and works well. (You could also drill your desk and mount it that way.)
The arm easily supports a 24&#34; flat panel monitor and holds it in the desired position over a full range of adjustments. Note that you need 12&#34; clearance from the centerline of the pole to a wall or panel behind the mount to allow full flexibility in positioning the monitor. If your desk is against a cubicle panel or a wall, the best mounting is accomplished by drilling through the desktop rather than using the edge mounting clamp.
Answer: I have readjusted my clamp on an old wooden desk many times. The desk is made of good quality wood and I have not seen any impresses, or denting. I couldn't ever see getting a scratch on top of the desk. The bottom would be more likely since there is no padding on the plate, however still very unlikely.
