Pholiten Steel Bracket Plate Reinforcement for Glass Desk

works really well, i like the brace mounting for my 3 items and it helped de-warp my desk. my ikea desk was actually slightly warped already , and putting this on and having it support my 2 monitor stands and rode mic stand works great! thanks a lot to manufacturer for this.

I have an Ikea desktop that is a hollow surface composed of pressed cardboard that is sandwiched between some thin layers of plywood, covered in a very thin laminate that is approximately 5/8 inch thick (about 16mm). It looks decent but is soft, scratches easily and is prone to flexing on the edges. I have a 32-inch 4k monitor mounted in through desk mount and that feels sturdy, but wasn't confident with an AmazonBasics/Ergotron arm with a smaller but heavier 27-inch 2K monitor mounted using a clamp arm on the edge of the desk. There are so many of these monitor reinforcement plates but I chose this one because of the large top and bottom plate that are wider rather than longer (from the back of the desk to the front) and it was also the least expensive at the time. Having had it installed for several months, I can say that it was a good choice and I don't feel that I'm missing anything having spent less for a great mounting plate.

My review will be on the reinforcement plates, since this seller has multiple items. The reinforcement plates to protect the desk are solid and well worth the price. They function exceptionally well and feel high quality. They are fairly large and bulky however, so if you don't have much clearance on the sides of your desk, these won't fit. The top should be fine, but the bottom metal piece will jut out if you have your table legs and too close to the edge and that piece holding the top of the desk is too far to the edge. I felt I got my money's worth.

I recently decided to change my monitor setup to a stacked one. The new mount I got used a C-clamp, and due to the small surface area and the mount being nearly at its weight limit, began to tilt. At first I thought it was the mount issue, but it was because of my desktop. My desk is a hollow-core one, so it's incredibly cheap and easy to dent. Seeing this, I was looking for solutions to solve this. That's when I ran into these, and boy, am I so glad they exist. Installation is really easy and straightforward; just put your clamp around these and you're good to go. Because of how wide it is, it spreads the weight around my desk pretty evenly, and the foam padding on the bottom helps with not damaging the surface. Overall, the pictures speak for themselves. My tilting has been reduced by a ton, and if you're running heavy monitors on small clamps or a cheap surface, please get these.

Works

I used these monitor mount plates to clamp a pole mount to my wife's desk. It's an older IKEA table top, made of the particle board material IKEA uses, so anything clamping down on it will crush it. With these plates I was able to clamp the pole mount right on the desk, nice and tight. I feel like it was a good price for what I got and I would recommend it.

Does as described

My thin desk has yet to snap from my double monitor mounts thanks to this, so I have no complaints.

good stedy

Don’t make the same mistake I did and assume a dual monitor mount will clip to an IKEA tabletop. The fibreboard compresses and just a day of use later, the material is compressed and the top surface has a dent mark. With this, the mount with monitors clips on tightly without bending.

Very solid plates. Provided a solid base for the desktop mount

Mounted on a flimsy thin table and was surprised to see how sturdy it is!! Works exactly as claimed

Got a glass top desk and this plate make me feel more comfortable with hanging 2 27" monitors off of it. Been 2 months all good so far. It also is a clean support, not bulky
