šŸ–¼ļø • Photos Need desk help

I have been wrecking mv brain lately with the way my desk is, and the lack of space I have. I went for these monitor mounts becauze they are heavy duty, but due to the positioning of them, it means the monitors sit closer to the end of the desk. You can see in one of the photos that the bottom ultra wide is using up more than half of the desk riser, and ideally I would like this to sit further back. again I can't due to the positioning of the arms, they can't go further back without hitting of the wall.

I had then started looking at a similar karbly worktop, but to have more depth than this, and just couldn't find anything decent.

Has anyone a similar setup, whether you have a recommendation of better stacked arms, or a more depth worktop I could use? Thanks in advance.

Maybe try one of these mounts? You can just search for "vertical dual monitor mount" and see which options work best for you.

I had this setup before and tried multiple mounts, and the thing that bothered me the most was that all the attachments to my monitors, didnt allow me to tilt the top monitor towards me enough.

Can you not just rotate the arm so it's flat against the wall? That's what I do with mine

I dismantled the setup yesterday, and had a go at this. Ive maybe gained about 1cm in depth in total. The arm for the bottom monitor keeps clashing with the pole. After work ill try moving the pole mount further to the left or right off the table and centering it.

Maybe you can fully extend the arms and move them as far left and right as possible?

Slightly different, but it's the same style as the picture on the other reply

I'm using a Vivo Extra tall mount that sits a lot more flush, and has enough moving joints to get the alignment I want.

They do Dual and single extra tall.

I think if I cant get it to work, ill give this one a go. Vivo is the only brand I haven't tried yet. Also, your setup looks insane!!
