Cons: Difficult to Adjust
I was severely disappointed in this stand. There are means of adjusting the height and the angle of the monitor, but neither one works as one would expect or hope. Both parts are based on a tension adjustment system, where the user can increase tension or lessen it by use of simple screws. This really doesn't work well or make much sense though; if e.g. you want to set the height of your monitor, you can't just move it up and down until you find a place you like, and leave it there. Instead, you adjust the tension in a spring mechanism that holds the monitor in place... it's not possible though to "lock" the height or rotation, or even to specify exactly where you want the monitor on either adjustment system. If you want the monitor halfway up the stand, you loosen the tension so the part slides up and down... but it's still on a spring, and can and will still move up and down. The only way to "lock" the monitor in the position you desire is to crank the tension up all the way, which results in the monitor being at the top of the stand, and pointing sharply upwards.
The stand is also HUGE. It's overkill for monitors at the rated size. It's unattractive, heavy, and the adjustment design is terrible.
Lousy product. I'm returning mine.
