Step 1: choose one of the 2 installation options
There are 2 possible ways to install your monitor arm. With a clamp mount, you attach the base firmly with a clamp. This is possible with desks between 10 and 40mm thick. If you choose feed-through mount, you have to drill a hole in your desk and screw the base into place. This is only suitable for desks with a thickness between 40 and 45mm. Did you choose a method? Check the VESA size of your monitor. This way, you can be sure that it fits on the monitor arm.
