Hi, I'm currently looking for ideas to elevate my monitor by around 10cm. However the problem is my current desk is like 1.2cm thick and there is a metal frame underneath the table hence I'm only left with 6cm from edge to center.. Will monitor arm be able to fit into my restrictions if let's say I'm going for C-clamp to secure it?

My monitor have very wide legs, depth with stand is about 23cm and width 61cm, I believe most monitor stand organiser from shopee won't be able to fit my dimension and will look weird if I were to use it right? :(

I was just about to recommend the same :s13:

Magazines would look good too with multi-colored spines - especially if they are from the same magazine series.

If using monitor arm, u can add small wood planks underneath the table and then clamp it, it should hold up well, depending on how heavy ur monitor is. U can also get some flat metal plates to further strengthen it.

It would look much neater than magazines and books but of course it comes with a price :)

Get a monitor arm that mounts directly into the table with screws.
Then you don't have to mess around with clamps etc.
