ErgotechHex 3 Over 3 LCD Monitor Desk Stand (100-D28-B33)

I admit I was a little apprehensive with buying this monitor stand, mainly because the product description was scanty and not confidence-building. However when I received it I couldn't be more pleased, it looks and feels well-constructed, hefty metal parts, and easily adjustable. Once it place, it's locked tight, so you don't have to worry about monitors drooping or falling out of place due to lack of tension. It's pretty easy to assemble and disassemble, and all the tools come with it. Nice!I needed six monitors for a custom situation-room build, and for the record I used six identical HP Promo LA240WG 24 inch monitors, which I chose because of the aspect ratio and thin bezel. It fits very nicely and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to angle the monitors within the optimum viewing angle, but it doesn't seem to be an issue. A smaller monitor would afford you a greater range of adjustment (including rotating on its side), but for the HP Promo it was adequate.It comes with clips to help you with cable management, a nice touch. For some reason I got fewer screws for the HDMI plates than I needed, but any IT shop is going to have a bin of extras anyway.The nice thing about this stand is that it has a wide, flared base that sits on top of your desk. The problem with poles that drill or clamp into your desk is that even if drilling holes into rented furniture isn't a problem, it concentrates all the weight of the monitor and the considerable heft of the stand itself into a small area. Even the sturdiest particle board is going to warp. The flared base distributes the weight over a wide area, so it's steady without causing the desk to flex over time. It does eat some real estate, but if you're like me it gets buried under papers and junk over time, so you don't even notice.One caveat though is that even though gravity is your friend and the sheer weight of monitors will keep the stand in place, it still can be tipped over if you have kids or pets who see your monitor rack as a new climbing toy, or excitable co-workers prone to pushing monitors aside to deal with the latest emergency. What would have been really nice is if the flared base had the option for a couple of bolts to be inserted through the widest part, not to support the weight but to just prevent it from being tipped over. You could always sacrifice the sturdy but scruffed desk no one wants. However, since people in my office tend to be well behaved and respond to emergencies calmly, I don't fear the monitors falling over backwards at all.So all in all, an excellent buy, just be aware that the 24 inch monitors are about as big as the stand can support, and smaller can be better if you want to have the best possible viewing angles.-Derrick

If you read many reviews of peoples' experience setting six monitor stands, including this one, a constant theme is the extreme difficulty (and sometimes impossible) ability to get the displays to all line up symmetrically, angled the same way, consistent distance between monitors or edge to edge contact if that is the desired outcome.It's excruciating, even with the best six monitor stands. If you have the slightest bit of OCD seeing your displays out of whack will drive you nuts.I found the answer. It's cheaper, foolproof, and more flexible. Buy three dual-monitor vertical stands instead. Position them accordingly. I bought the $33.95 Dual Monitor Stands by Hemdu here on Amazon. I chose those because there was no chance the top of the stand would stick up above my monitors. (That's the OCD again.)Well, good luck. Even though you have an awesome monitor set-up, get out from in front of it and experience the world too.-------Satisfied overall; the specs say the stand holds monitors 17" to 24" - I'm using 6 ASUS VE258Q which measure 23-1/4" wide (but are called 25-inch monitors based on diagonal measurement) and they are truly at the end of the outer rails - larger ones simply would not fit. One result of the position at the end of the rails is that they are difficult to impossible to get 100% level. Only the mounting brackets for the four 'outside' monitors have micro-tuning knobs so you adjust to the two center mounted displays. I knew I was 'pushing it' with the size of these monitors so I don't fault the stand here.It's heavy and stable and that was one of my primary concerns.One thing you might keep in mind if deploying (six) multiple monitors for the first time is the tremendous amount of heat they will put off. I first used LCD monitors until I figured out I had created a nice array of radiant space heaters - then I went to LED and am much happier. That said, in my situation (small office) I still cool from the front with two of these: [...] and from the back with one of these: [...]Six monitors really increase my productivity as a web developer and this stand does the job I need it to. I found it about $45 cheaper elsewhere on the internet but bought it through Amazon because they just make everything so easy and I have a Prime account.

I have a 6 x 24" display setup and needed a 3 over 3 desk stand. I purchased this stand a few years ago and have been using it ever since. When I was looking for monitor stands at the time, there weren't a ton of options out there. I settled on this one, because it had a solid construction, a fair amount of adjustments, and on sale the price was okay-ish. The $775 list price is completely out of line. I believe it's a hyper inflated list price and that the "sale" price is more in line with what the real retail price is. The base would benefit from having a non-slip surface, as it's not difficult to slide the whole monitor stand if you bump it or are trying to adjust position of the monitors. And speaking of adjusting the monitor positions, it's near impossible to get the monitors to lineup evenly. I gave up trying to get rid of the gaps between the monitors or to line them up evenly. Shipping was also a disaster. The manufacturer cut every corner they could on packaging. The manufacturer's packaging on this stand is officially the worst packaging I have ever seen. I don't know how anyone has ever received a non-damaged stand. I had to go through three of them just to get one that I could live with. I contacted the manufacturer, and they promised to send replacement parts for the couple of pieces that had gauges straight through the finish that exposed the bare metal. The manufacturer never followed through, even after months of following-up. Overall it's a decent and solid monitor stand, but the list price is way out of line. And be prepared to receive a damaged one.

Was a little hesitant buying this with the price so high but really glad that I did as its the only one I can find being sold in the UK, if your going to buy this make sure your desk or where ever you are putting it can support its weight as the stand alone weighs a LOT!

This is a very nice stand, my only complaint is the adjust-ability of the screen mountings when they are being set up. They are either far too loose or too tight to move normally and tightening them while they are in position causes them to move. Once it was set up though it has been a great product, very sturdy and worth the money. It would have been nicer if they also produced them in Europe so the price wouldn't be so high as a result of shipping them.

Great

Build quality is incredible, very pleased with this purchase
