Hey guys, been struggling to find a desk arm for my 27.5 inch hanns g monitor that I have here and have found the Ergotron MX Desk Mount for a reasonable price and was wondering if it would take to an Ikea Galant desk ?

I know some of the clamps require a 2 inch thick desk top to be sturdy enough

Does anyone have this item with the same desk or maybe the desk with a simillar mount ?

Cheers, Dandaman

Seems a bit thin, maybe OK with a wood block (with the potential issue of slippage), and I would check if there are some metal frame that could get in the way. AFAIK, the corner desk has, but not the straight table. Best have a look at your local Ikea store.

I have a Jonas, and a Ergonoflex EGF52222 (I think, it's the spitting image) with a 22'' and a 24'' (6 and 7 kilos). The desk mount used to be on desks with thickness the same as the Galant. Everyone was switched to those at work without issues, although it seems happier with a thick desk (like the Jonas).

That's all I can say :)

I'm having this problem. I haven't yet bought one for my 27" monitor but have been planning to.

Trouble is, my desk is only about an inch thick and despite beng as hard as nails, this could be an issue no? Also, about 3 inches in I have a metal frame running under and around the desk, presumably this will cause more clamp issues? It's really hard to know if it will work without seeing on in detail.
 
I have 3 x LXs and my desk is about an inch thick... I have no problems whatsoever.

It even manages to hold up a heavy monitor that is way over the limit specified. Best arms ever !

You had better download their manual and give it a good read ;)
