" ... Blows other highly rated arms (looking at you, Wirecutter) straight out of the water. ... "
" ... And there is more room on my desk for sketchbooks and notes, and just to use my desk lol ... Once you get the tension right with the screws and FORCE it down once, it keeps working. ... "
" ... Cleared up so much space on my desk!! ... "
" ... Overall, the unit feels very heavy duty, high quality and smooth. ... "
" ... The product comes well packaged in foam inserts and the stand is really heavy and quality. ... I didn't have to mess with tightening screws as it was already balanced and ready to go. ... "
" ... The bottom section clamped down nicely and the screws to adjust the springs were easy enough to get to. ... I had to tighten the arm quite a bit for the weight of this monitor which is just slightly over the recommended capacity but it's been holding for a couple of months now without sag or drooping. ... "
" ... I used the clamp and pole from the VIVO and the arm from the Amazon Basics. ... "
" ... I've had to tighten the arm once in the nearly 12 months that I've owned it, and it's been a perfect addition to my office. ... For me it was a no-brainer to try it at the price, compared with the official Wacom arms. ... "

" ... The bottom section clamped down nicely and the screws to adjust the springs were easy enough to get to. ... "
" ... When I adjust the positioning, it stays exactly where I left it. ... To get results like mine, you will have to tighten the tension of the arm lift mechanism to prevent slouching or sagging. ... "
" ... Great for someone that likes to adjust the position of their monitor often. ... "

" ... So glad I decided to purchase this, it makes using the Cintiq much easier than with the stand. ... "
" ... Obviously that's up to you and how permanent you think the arm will be - but honestly considering how insanely useful an arm is (versus lying flat on a desk and taking up a huge amount of space) I'd probably drill a hole even in a nice desk. ... "
