Mono price TV stand: Easy to assemble strong and good quality.
It has short studs that require a hex wrench to tighten into the aluminum pucks glued on to the glass. I did not feel like going all the way out the shop to get my allen or hex wrench set so I just grabbed the stud with pliers and tightened it that way. The studs do not need to be super tight so the pliers did not bite into the threads and mess them up.
I did use some lock tight threat locker on the studs where they went into the aluminum glued on pucks.
Next you screw on the aluminum tube feet. I added 1″ felt pads on the bottom of the adjusters that contact the desk top. This should have been done by monoprice as these aluminum feet will scratch your desk top if no felt pads are added.
I kinda feel like whacking a star for no felt pads and no Allen or hex key these two items should have been included for the over all price. But this is a small complaint as the monoprice monitor stand is a quality unit. You should ad the felt pads if you buy one as this protects your desk from getting scratched and as a bonus it slides easy after adding the felt pads.
I bought this to put behind my TV so I could have an elevated stand for a large size Tripp lite UPS. See photo. Had a smaller cyber power UPS and it failed after a yr.
The Tripp lite UPS was much larger but would not fit behind my TV. I did not want to place it down under the TV stand.
Solution? This Monitor stand shelf unit. It spans over the rear TV stand extension and has plenty of room for the UPS and the digital antenna and a few other small things. Problem solved.
I do like the Mono price monitor stand enough I would get one for my desk/monitor if I decided to arrange my office desk in such a way I needed it. I have a Yamaha stereo head unit I use as a monitor stand so I can have stereo sound in my office. It is a bit large but works.
Bottom line yes I do like this monoprice monitor stand and would recommend it to a friend.
