It's a very nice piece of the system. Even looks good and has space to hide the cables. Was very easy to assemble having all the parts, hardware and tools needed, with it. No running out for special tools or parts. It's the best looking and most functional monitor stand I've seen. The tension in each joint is adjustable to the point that mine is lifting a large very heavy Acer monitor. You can move it in any direction with just two fingers. And it stays where you put it till next time you move it. No sagging, no swaying about under the weight. I was very lucky, in that I bought it while on sale at a very inviting price. After getting it set up I realized the regular price was more than reasonable. And ordering was a snap. Looks good, works great, easy assembly, fair price, nice folks to work with, and quick service. You can't go wrong. Kind of wished I needed another one.
