How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “Stability is the top concern”, “A heavy setup will sit on the desk”, “Several work zones on a wide desktop”, and “More desk depth, more viewing distance”. A need with no documented match is not counted.

How we calculatedThis is the load limit the maker rates it for. How stable it is at standing height is another matter. The median draws on the 14 of 32 models that publish comparable figures.
