How much space do I need to mount this to the back of my desk?

Amazon keeps sending me the questions on this item.... ;-)This mount leaves a gap of approx 1.5 inch between the desk's rear edge and the immediate wall. The mount pole has its base on top of the desk, not between desk and wall.

Not that much unless you want to move the monitors. I have this in the corner and I cut out a whole in my desk for the mounting and wished I would have went further away from the wall as moving the screens around is hard with the reduced amount of space. What I should have done first is setup a monitor on the desk before hand and see how far I wanted it to be from my face and bring the mounting part closer to the front then the back. The Mount and part that is in the desk is about no bigger then a 100 Pack of CD-Rs.

My desk was up against a wall. I don't think I moved it more than 2" from the wall. Doesn't take up much space between wall and where its mounted on desk. Hope this helps.

2 - 3" between the wall and desk. you will need to able to reach the underside of the desk to the screws to tighten it down.

You need an over hang on the back of the desk to mount it or you have to hold it to the desk itself. You need at least a 4 or 5 inch over hang to use the mount without bolting to the desk. As far as space on the desk it depends on what size screens you will mount to it. If you put 3 22" screens you will need just over 66" wide.

Keyboard drawer requires about 16-1/2" depth to mount flush with the desktop. I have it mounted in a 15" space, and it protrudes a little over 1 inch. It will mount in a 12" space, but expect it to stick out about 4 or 5 inches beyond the desktop surface.

The top part of the desk extends 1.5" out over rear vertical support. I've got a couple things clamped, but not a monitor stand..not sure how much space they need to clamp on to.

If you put the monitor all the way back in the corner, you've got a good 18-24" of space to work with. I often use a MacBook pro with an external keyboard, and have plenty of room for the keyboard/mouse and additional papers on my left. Hope this helps.

Is the desk about an inch thick? Based on how I've seen this product attach, I would say there is a very good chance that you will be able to use this. I would be cautious on the weight of the monitors. Meaning: Let's not push it to the max. I've seen very similar mounts work fairly "cheap" desks.

I mounted it on a hollow core Ikea desktop, just don't over torque the screws. You may need shorter screws than what comes with the holder

Probably not. The brackets that attach to the underside of the desk need to be mounted about 5 inches back from the front of the desktop. The brackets are about 10 inches long.

Yes you can mount this along any edge of the desk. If the desktop is then particleboard, I would sandwich a couple thin pieces of wood to spread out the weight distribution.

Approximately 18 inches from the center of the post to the front of the monitor. I have mine mounted at the back of my desk, and it is fine for me.

Sorry, but no, I don't think this will work for you. The back of the brackets that mount to the underside of my desk are about 16" from the front edge.

My desk is pretty close to the wall, I had to slide the mount into place from the side to get it onto the desk. As for the L Clamp, I'm using the bottom two holes, and i had to crawl under my desk and screw in both bolts to clamp down on the desk. There is no way to modify or change the physical mounting point to the desk and how it functions that I am aware of. My desk has a back board, but it is recessed to create a lip that I was able to clamp onto. I wish I could take pictures to explain but, the top surface of the desk is only about 2 inches from the wall, the back board is maybe about 4 inches give or take from the wall. Hope that helps somewhat!

this site says 18" from desk to center of mount: http://www.humanscale.com/products/product_detail.cfm?group=M2

If your desk has any backing that is less than 2.5" from the lip, this clamp will not fit. The bottom of the clamp extends 2.5" inward. I had to remove the backing from a desk in order to install this mount.

The clamp has an adjustable back plate that should accommodate a 2 3/4 desk. I measured the back plate and it 4 1/2 long. During installation you just mound the screw plate to the set of hole in the back plate that is the best fit for you desk thickness and then just tighten down the thumb bolts.

I am wall mounted so difficult to say for the desk mount. I have an Apple Thunderbolt 27" Display on the mount and I can swing it around to about no less than 6 inches.

You can clamp it to the back or drill a hole, it comes with the stuff to do it either way. I mounted mine to the back and it has worked very well, the desk has a hutch, I just made a small cutout for the bracket to fit through.

It's not too big for a desk, but if you have a relatively small space then it may not fit. I used to keep mine on my desk, but now I just move it wherever it is needed.
