    The free-standing option you found for the mount should do the job for you.  If you do end up wanting to use a clamp mount, using some reinforcement such as a metal plate or wood block will usually do the job without reducing your usable desk space.  MDF is some strong stuff though (we use it for some of our more premium desks), so unless the monitors will be arranged in a way that puts a huge amount of torque on the clamp, I wouldn't be worried about it.

    SOP with desktops of that size is Use a door.  It’s the right size and thickness  Get a custom unframed  door with no handle cutout in the wood you want.  It will be unfinished.  Buy a roll  of iron on wood for the edges and trim it with a utility knife.
    If you get a fire door it will be full of mdf and incredibly heavy. If you get a non fire door it will be full of cardboard honeycomb and really light.  Both will be strong enough to use as a desktop.  The light one will make scritchy noises when you write on it though.

    So good news. I found a version of the stand by the same company with a large foot instead of a clamp, so I can place it in front of the back feet without modding my desk with a hole. I'll still be doing the L bracket reinforcement, though, until I build my own desk with normal wood.

    You’d have to make some sort of outriggers for the feet to effectively extend them backwards.  A number of ways to do that, all of them ugly looking.  The least ugly would be the most expensive and difficult to do: metal plates screwed to the bottom of the feet extending backward.  Cutting metal thick enough to do the work is a PITA. It would make the desk taller in back so you’d have to extend the front feet too.  Pieces of wood would work too.  Uglier though.  And thicker.  You could also do angled legs extending back behind the desk, or even wooden blocks.  No height change but uglier yet.
     
    What I would probably wind up doing (because I’ve got lots of tools) is to get a hole saw the same size as the pole and cut a hole through the top of the desk in front of the feet where I wanted the pole to go and mount through that. Assuming the mount even allowed it, which it might not.  I could also find out what diameter the pole was, and buy a pipe the same size and run it through the hole all the way to the ground (assuming the shelf wasn’t in the way, which it might be) and use no desk mounting bracket at all.  It would leave a pole under the desk near the back of course.

    Its well worth it but unless you do something to brace it, the table will struggle to hold it.
    Well worth it to have though. I had one but only supported 24", or so it said. Was a blast to play on.
    But have a sturdy desk. Ive used the standard flat base and the clamp style. Wanting to try it with drilling a hole and mounting it that way for more room for the keyboard.

    I think its safe to say LMG has zero intentions of speaking about why Ivan is no longer here, no sense in carrying on, and quite frankly the reason a person leaves a company isnt really any of our business and I would expect no comments past what we already got
