Question for digital artists.
I consider upgrading my equipment a bit. I may be able to buy a used Cintiq Pro 24 (7,2kg) with a Flex Arm (9kg).
I also consider getting a Bekant Ikea desk...
But my worry is, will that desk be able to handle the arm mounted with 16,2kg on one point?My gf got a Bekant, it seems kinda solid, but a bit thin, at about 1,5cm, while recommended for Flex Arm is 2,5cm and up. And this isn't even solid wood, so I'm a bit worried...
16kg is heavy... if anyone got the Flex Arm, what do you have it mounted on?Right now I'm using an old desk from 1996, I don't think its solid wood, but its a bit thicker than whatever you get from Ikea these days, but I want to be able to stand up while drawing too...

@Dadaph @redstrate Try to increase the surface of the pressure point.
I do not have your suggested setup but I did mount my monitors.
You can buy extra metal plates for monitor arms. Maybe you can use the same plates for your desk. -
