I've been struggling to figure out how to mount a monitor arm on my desk lately. The desk is wall-mounted and the tabletop is glass, which makes things tricky. Plus, it's right in front of a window—no drilling, no cutting, just a tough situation.

Industrial diamond-tipped drill bits are available, and results follow your actions. We don’t judge for self-harm except for practical fixes—solutions exist, though they may not fit your budget or timeline. Acknowledge that some local businesses might step in to address your issue, but be prepared for higher costs.

Can it handle a large screen? Also, I’m uncertain about securing the monitor to a tripod with a suction cup.

I'm updating my home now, so I'll check with the contractor about drilling through my glass and wooden desk.

The one in the link? nope. Those are for cameras and mini monitors. I doubt there's a suction cup method strong enough for big monitors, and if there is, usually the price isn't even funny. (Because cheap and questionable reliability ones might means falling monitor and shattered glass) You can drill through the glass using diamond drill bit, but yeah, measure really well. Also... You have to consider the strain caused by the clamp on the glass. You can try dispersing the pressure a bit with some DIY, but I can't guarantee nothing will happen. Especially if you start mounting multiple monitors. Because it'll be some kilograms + gravity worth of pressure on a rather small surface (the clamp's). Add if you move the monitor much, moving it downward means adding more pressure. On somewhat soft wood surface the clamp usually leave a mark if the pressure isn't dispersed enough. Can't you remove the tabletop and change it to something else? unless you really like glass tabletop.

It looks like you're aiming for a smooth, win-win situation with minimal cost. You're also prepared to ensure the glass can securely attach to wood, keeping in mind any concerns your contractor might have about structural stress.

There seems to be no issue with using this; it appears you just require one monitor unless a multi-monitor setup is needed which hasn't been mentioned yet.

My arm is in good shape. It rests on the desk and can hold up to two 27-inch monitors.

I think it might be trying to push through the glass and then secure a mount inside. That approach could cause the glass to break back into sand. For best results, drilling on tempered glass should happen before tempering. I don’t understand why you’d need multiple screens—what exactly are you aiming for? If the image shows what you’re doing, do you need an arm for that purpose?
