I want to put my iMac monitor on this, to rotate occasionally 180 degrees as needed. It weighs 21 pounds, and the base is 8"x 8"... too much weight?

What I like best about this particular turntable is the base is larger than the turntable itself. This design means that the turntable it is very stable, doesn't wobble when you turn it, and (I feel) is almost impossible to flip over. From one Mac fan to another, if it were me, I'd use it for that purpose - but I wouldn't spin it around like a top- cytrifgul force can be a witch. Perhaps the details tab would specify the weight limit? I forgot to check it before answering this.

M., I loaded my up with 15 pounds and it seemed to work fine. It will easily accommodate an 8" x 8" base.

We keep 6 or 7 larger glass mason jars filled with cereals on ours and it rotates fine.

Even though it would probably handle the weight, I don't think it would "feel" sturdy enough to hold something like that. And the size of the circle may waste a lot of space.

Just went and measured. 21 looks to be about right. Incidentally, we have a 25" and 22" pair of monitors hooked up. Spring tensions was nowhere near strong enough out of the box to hold the weight, but it is adjustable with a screw on each arm, and it holds the weight just fine now.

I use it with a 24" Dell U2414H monitor and a 15" Thinkpad side-by-side. I'd say you can put a 27" iMac on it without issue.

I have a 17" Toshiba laptop on it and it just fits so I think your Mac's going to be too large for this stand. Unless you don't mind the laptop extending over the sides. As far as weight goes, this stand is very sturdy.

I don't think so, but it's close. I have a 15" laptop and a 32" monitor on mine, and you might be able to get them to fit if you have them hanging off the edge on either side. I wouldn't venture to say 'yes' however unless I saw it done, and I'm also not confident about the weight. I don't think it would be wise to have a 27" iMac with half its weight hanging off the side; I'd reckon the stand would be right at the edge in both cases, so unless you rig some kind of vise or some other way of making sure they don't tumble, I'd be leery of it.

We have ours sitting on my computer desk--the footprint is not any larger than a monitor. I use the keyboard/mouse set up but can still swipe if I have to. My advice about mounting -- make sure you have the support board nailed to joists just to insure it would not pull out. The shipping weight was 23 pounds as I remember.

I can comment on the weight capability a bit. I attached an old Dell monitor (not quite flat screen) to the stand. I didn't know that they have standardized mounting holes on monitors and so it was quite easy to attach the monitor to the stand. But there is really no fine control knob on the stand to adjust the angle of the attached monitor, and so it sags from a pure vertical position, and I have to prop it up with stacked odds and ends. This is annoying, and I would have returned it for that reason but it had been quite a while since I received it and just decided to use it as is.

Yes , I would trust it in any application. It really is light weight and will handle weight very well. I have a 15 lb computer monitor on mine and it turns very easily and shows no stress at all with the 15 lbs. My monitor turns with the touch of a finger. I'm quite sure you'd be happy with it.

Don't know. Does the iMac have the standard bracket at the back? Also the arms are rated up to 24" and I think this size is right at the limit. An iMac might be too heavy.

I have a 24" imac on this mount. I had to torque it pretty tight to get it to stay at the angle I needed. I would imagine the weight of a 27" imac would cause the forward tilt pivot to give and lay your mac face down towards the ground. My 24" imac is one of the older, squarish white ones however. Hope that helps.

I don't know how large a Mac monitor you have, but the vesa mount (4 screws) was easy to manage with my 21 inch monitor... I think the instructions said the stand could handle up to a certain weight... I don't have the paperwork at home, but i'm sure they must have the documentation online at kangaroo...

I have a 27" iMac on the stand and I have noticed that it has "swayed" about 3/16" in the center. If you plan on two 24" monitors, they will probably be set close to the sides instead of in the middle which should be ok.

Mine weighs in at around 40 lbs...which I thought was rather silly heavy. Would not trust any plastic stand to hold 80 lbs, but it may work. Having trouble coming up with any computer that could possibly be that heavy, by the way. While I have no idea what you have to make it that heavy, would suggest you make a custom stand...fairly easy to make from wood, by the way.

It seems the space between the top two shelves will not be sufficient to house my 27" iMac. I suppose I could raise it by inserting a block of wood under the computer to bring the bottom of the monitor up to the level of the other two monitors I would like to eventually buy. I'm into flight simulation. If anyone knows of a desk better suited to that hobby, please let me know....thanks.

I have it on my Apple Thunderbolt which is 27" and heavy with no problem. I think it is supported to 42". The bigger issue is the weight.

This will not sag, I promise! I have three 23" wide screen monitors horizontally with a normal bezel on mine and it is very stable. The adjustability of the outer arms are great as well. This whole thing is built like a tank.

It would help to know the weight of said items, but I have 3 monitors on mine (2 on the main platform, 1 on the swinging arm) and it handles it just fine. Very stable, especially considering I move the side arm fairly often.
