Dual monitor mount arms

Would dual monitor arms like either of these work out fine on a glass desk or not ? Let's say it's got a 10-11mm thickness to it with a 22" and 24" monitor on the arms holder. Other option if not possible would be one with a flat bottom like this one:

Is there a metal frame to the desk?
Glass will crack with point loads (it’s partly why glass almost always has rounded edges), I think it would most be susceptible to once it’s attached if you have drop something heavy on the table or move it sharply that it could crack where the metal clamp tightens into the glass surface.

Nope
You could consider getting some type of polymer foam to sit between the clamp teeth and the glass surface, which should damped sharp loads and distribute them around the surface a little more.

Exactly, I thought so too. That's the risk unfortunately with first two stands I linked in the OP. What do you think of the third linked stand ? Do you think would be fine without any cracking risk to the glass desk ? Thanks :smile:

That should reduce risk a lot more than the first two, and it’s easy to put a soft matt underneath between the stand and the glass if the edges are sharp (but it looks like a flat bottom from the pics).

PRSOM, thanks! :smile:
