It is my first base and thus I do not have enough experience to judge its quality. From what I see, it is a solid construction. I have placed an LG 29" ultra-wide monitor on top and I regret not getting a larger screen... it comfortably fits a 34" ultra-wide monitor. The Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 laptop is 15" inches. It claims to withstand 8 kilograms (I loaded it with 6.5 kilograms including the laptop and monitor). It also has clips for cable management. As a small negative, I would say that it requires a lot of force to twist the bracket base, which was initially horizontal. Eventually, I managed to turn it by inserting a small Allen key into the screw slot and twisting it. I don't know, of course, if all bracket bases require that much force.
