This Modular Monitor Stand System was inspired by a need for dual monitors in over-under orientation for a programmer seeking a 6 monitor workstation  in the early 2010s .   

At that time Amazon.com was not flooded with them , the options available were expensive,  and they were inflexible. The desktop solutions all had oversized bases and heavy duty components intended to meet all monitor size needs. The desk edge and wall mounted setups were over built and not convertible, modular or interchangeable with desktop solutions.  The gas arms were not remotely an affordable option back then and they still are not great for limited space and places where desks are pushed against walls.   

• The basic design goal was to make something others could make themselves with a trip to the hardware store.  

• The advanced design goal was to attempt to build Dual Monitor Stands in a way that was modular, mounting base independent, adjustable for monitor size specific needs, and made from parts available at the local hardware store with minimal to no custom manufacturing, welding, or specialty materials.  

The prototype designs met the requirements of all hardware store sourced items, but they just barely worked and nothing was ergonomic. Plyers and screwdrivers were required for all adjustments. A second generation was built for a local Acupuncture Office . They were better looking,  but still not something that was overly user friendly or sellable. 

A goal was then set to try to make a marketable product while holding to a "readily available components" mantra as much as possible. 

• What came out is an extremely useful, flexible and modular design system with an ability to mix and match parts and pieces in creative ways no other system does at this time.  

• The ideal monitor mounting plate for these solutions is something we suggest buying. It's a low cost, cnc machined part made made from an aluminim and platic composite material repurposed from the sign industry.  There is no better material than that for this application at this time. That replaced galvanized electrical box covers that had to be custom drilled and lacked flex when needed. 

Other than that, all other items are purchase and resell items without and with minor modifications with standard and lower cost custom tooling.
