What is a reasonable monitor-arm budget per workstation for SMB?

A decent monitor arm for business use sits in a specific price band. Cheaper exists but then you accept sagging or wobbling arms. Pricier is for offices that need formal ergonomic validation.

Try this first

1. 1Under the pain line: clamp arms at a tenner from Bol or Action sag within a week and lose adjustability. Do not deploy commercially.
2. 2Set-and-forget zone: quality brands like Ergotron LX, BakkerElkhuizen, Fellowes, Loctek with proper clamp and gas spring, in a reasonable price band any monitor-arm supplier can quote. Ask for a quote against your screen size and weight.
3. 3Premium and Arbo-validated: dual arm or multi-monitor with integrated cable management, Ergotron HX, Humanscale, often 2-3x the price. Justified with formal ergonomic reporting or heavy monitors (32 inch 4K).
4. 4Do not forget: arm VESA must match your monitor (75x75 or 100x100), weight class must carry your screen, clamp must fit your desk thickness. Make that checklist before ordering.
