Will mounting a monitor arm make my desk wobble or shake?

A properly installed arm on a solid desk surface won't cause any noticeable wobble. Where problems happen: clamp mounts on thin MDF or hollow-core desk edges can compress the material over time and lead to arm drift. For hollow-core surfaces, a grommet mount with a backing plate distributes the load better. Steel-frame commercial desks with solid 1-inch laminate tops handle clamp mounts well.
