Wall Mounted Single Monitor Workstation

I wanted a work from home standing desk setup where it could easily switch from sitting to standing, use my existing desk, and lift my monitor off the desk. This wall mount was the best option out there and I am 100% satisfied with it. It securely mounts into a wall stud. I was careful with the installation process to ensure it would be secure and straight on the wall. The range of motion is fantastic, I can keep the monitor close to the wall to have plenty of ergonomic room between me and the screen. The bracket comes out about 3 inches if you swing the mounting arm as close to the wall as possible. It can tilt if needed and the height range is wonderful- you could move the monitor vertically about 40 inches if you adjust the height along the full length of the mount (do have to move your cable routers). I have been using this for about a month and adjust it up and down (for height along the mounting post) to switch from sitting to standing about twice a day. I use the Allen wrench to loosen the mount’s clamp on the mounting post and the screw and clamp are holding up well. I did not use or have need for the keyboard stand or cpu mount.

The mount works well but you do have to adjust it quite a bit to get it to stay. Installation was a little more difficult than I would have liked but it’s good value for the money spent.

I needed to mount a monitor, keyboard, and computer on a wall and this product is perfect for that use. I really like that the height of the monitor and keyboard shelf are adjustable. I use this as a workstation in a highly traffic room where it needs to be pushed up against the wall when not in use and pulled out when in use. The movement is fluid and it is very stable. It was very easy to mount on the wall and assemble. I also like its modern style and minimalistic footprint.

I lost a bet with my pre-teen when his dad saw the finished installation and immediately said “I want one!” Having had a sit-to-stand desk at work, when we all began working and schooling from home due to COVID-19, I decided to order this for my pre-teen. He has ADHD and his bedroom is very small with two slanted walls. Doing something to put the angled walls to use as well as giving him the flexibility to sit or stand throughout the “school day” has made a huge difference. While this wouldn’t be possible for everyone, for a pre-teen or short adult the height is adjustable enough to adapt from standing, to sitting in a desk chair, to kicking back in a low height moon chair while gaming with friends (or watching TV?). The one thing I will say is that mounting this on the stud in your walls is going to be much safer and stronger than trying to mount it with anchors in drywall. Seeing the amount of tension and torque you can put on it, I wouldn’t want to have tried mounting this with anchors. I did try using the anchors provided for the CPU mount and like all plastic anchors, they failed to deploy, leaving giant holes in the wall that I had to patch and repaint. Since I mounted this on an angled wall and didn’t feel like taking another crack at the CPU mount, my solution was to put the CPU on top of a short set of angled shelves (placed backwards against our walls to use up as much of the angled space as we can) that sit next to the wall mount). If you do want to try working with wall anchors, I would strongly recommend buying something better than the plastic ones provided.

I like to go between sitting (on a wobble stool), standing, and standing on a balance board (which adds a couple inches to my height). I have a fairly long torso, and sometimes switch work stations with my WFH spouse who has a very short torso and is 5" taller than me (yes, that's all legs). Also I would like my kids to be able to use the station as this is in a shared family area. First I tried the "Mount-It! Sit Stand Wall Mount Workstation | Adjustable Height Stand Up Computer Station with Articulating Monitor Mount, Keyboard Tray, & CPU Holder" MI-7905. I didn't like that the monitor is a fixed depth, and distance from the keyboard - the monitor was too low and too close to my face. It's workable, but not my ideal. I got this one in hopes that the ability to adjust the keyboard height and monitor height and depth separately would suit my needs better. Assembly: Summary: You place the bottom bracket on the wall, place the pole on it, slide the swing arm clamps onto the pole, then place the top bracket. First, I wish all these work stations came with instructions about where to place the mounts on the wall based on the desired maximum and minimum heights of your components. E.g. "if you want the center of your monitor to be at least X" high at its highest adjustable height, the top screws should be at least Y" high off the floor." "If you want your keyboard tray at its lowest to be at most Z" off the floor, the bottom mount for the pole will have to be no higher than W." To figure out where to place the pole, I wanted to make sure I could get my keyboard as low as I will need it. I had to assemble the tray on the swing arm, place the tray at the lowest height I would want it, check the height of the swing arm where it would mount on the bar, and measure from there to figure out where to place the lowest mount. The directions say to slide the swing arms onto the pole from the top, but I found this extremely difficult because of the sleeves inside the swing arm clamps and the way they are shaped. I actually found it much easier to slide them onto the pole from the bottom before placing on the bottom mounting bracket. I also found it helped to lubricate the pole (oh my) to help sliding the swing arm clamps. As in most things, a little dab of vaseline in the clamps before penetrating them with the pole goes a long way. ^-^ Keyboard: If you prefer a flat or sloping forward keyboard, you can't fully tilt the keyboard tray down. The front of the tray juts forward, and runs into the swing arm if you're trying to lower the keyboard tray height. You have the tilt the tray progressively more sloping backward (which doesn't work for me ergonomically). So you actually lose half the vertical height usefulness of the keyboard tray (and I had to place the wall bar even lower because of this). I'm considering drilling extra VESA holes towards the front of the tray so that I can mount it further back and use the full vertical down swing. In that case I may be able to reinstall the bar a little higher to deal with the next problem: Monitor: Like I said I am picky about vertical and horizontal distance between my keyboard and monitor. I assembled the pole based on the minimum height I wanted for the keyboard (I have gotten carpal tunnel before so this is important). However the monitor height at maximum is still a little too short, definitely too short for when I'm on the balance board or for my spouse. I'm looking at getting the Vivo VESA Height Adjustable Adaptor which gives you an extra 3.25" lift height (as of 3/13/25, twenty buckaroonies). Adjusting: If you've ever bought/dealt with adjustable mounts for monitors or TVs, pretty standard stuff. The adjustments for a single person aren't too bad. If you wanted to do more drastic adjustments (e.g. for different height people), sliding the swing arms higher or lower on the pole, you have to use an allen wrench. This could be resolved by finding a screw of the same size but with a thumb turn or some such at the hardware store. However part of the problem is that the swing arm clamps have almost no space between the wall, so a larger screw head might dent the drywall (or if you have a harder surface, not be able to mount). Another work around would be to mount the brackets on a shim to bring the bar forward .25-.5" to make room for thumbscrew heads. Summary: This would get 5 stars if: - The wall pole was 6" longer to allow for a broader range of height adjustment - The wall pole mounting brackets were 1/4" deeper so there was more space between pole and wall - The swing arm brackets had thumb screws (like on the monitor VESA mount) that didn't require allen wrench for drastic height adjustment - The keyboard tray VESA thingey was a couple inches farther from the swing arm, so that you could use fully lowered vertical height with flat or forward sloping keyboard. If I was doing it over again (I may still do these): - I would take the mounting brackets, pole, and screws from the swing arm clamps to the hardware store before assembly. - I would see if I could get a pole with the same inner and outer diameters and get it at least 6" longer. - I would find thumbscrews with the same length/width as the allen wrench screws. - I would check to see how much taller the thumbscrew heads are than the allen wrench heads. - I would get some pieces of wood at least that thick to place under the mounting brackets (to bring the pole out from the wall). Could try to make little invisible shims, or make a nice little square of wood painted or finished if you want.

This was a time saver for doing our office notes so our employees did not have to run to another terminal in another room to do notes. You can set it up right there in therapy room and it does a great job. Be sure to read the installation instructions so you don't build it wrong only to go back to the beginning by disassembling it again!

This is the best that I could find without spending thousands of dollars, but it is far from perfect. I found it impossible to get completely straight... spend a looong time with a level, but it still came out slightly tilted... no big deal, pretty sure only I notice it, but is a bit annoying. The real draw back it that the arm for the keyboard angles so far up! In a seated position, I can't get it low enough to be ergonomic, and because of its angles, I can't get the board to lie flat, it's always tilted down slightly. No way to move the bar (whole system) lower because then it wouldn't be in a stud. So this works great as a stand up desk, but if you are wanting a sit down style it just doesn't work well. I never anticipated it not being able to adjust up and down this poorly - before you install it, make sure you play with the height, and realize how low it "can't" go. Also, it is not quickly adjustable... you have to use an allen wrench each time, so it's not a quick sit - stand style... It also is not low profile. It comes out a good two feet from the wall unless you "fold in" the arms which makes it off center - another thing I just didn't consider with install. If I had realized this, I would have installed the center bar off center by about a foot so that the screen and keyboard could be closer to the wall and be in the center of the space. Most of these things cold be fixed with knowing ahead of time so you can plan your install better, but I wouldn't have thought of these problems and I don't think re-installing is wise because I don't think it would be nearly as sturdy, even if I bought new hardware for it.... and it was a pain in the butt and I am just not up to that again... Still 4 stars because, like i said, it is the best without having to spend over a thousand dollars for a wall mount unit, but it could be greatly improved.

We are now able to swing the system between two workbenches and not consume bench space.
