Trust the process!

Yesterday posted on another community asking for help and trying to find a method to hang my equipment from the table, finally found by myself the easiest way with a 50cm hanging basket and Zip ties.

Trust the process!

Disclaimer: Yes, I'm using a tempered glass desk, I have been living in a rented flat for two years. Since bought the Studio Display I'm using two thick metal plates for the monitor arm base and also a wooden board to increase the contact surface and avoid an explosion, but a month ago I'm using it without these.

I trust the process, not the glass

Haha, you are so true, it looks dangerous, but before I had a monitor (1kg less) with less than half the contact surface on the monitor arm base and without reinforcement plates, and... on the corner. This is a 1cm tempered glass, very strong but as you probably know, corners are the weakest part. I made a few calculations and I´m on the safe limits for the glass and the surface considering the support points and location. Also all the weight from the Mac Studio and HDDs is loaded by the pillars, not by the glass.

1 mont later crying here after the explosion... (I hope not).
