Dual monitor arms on Ikea desk??

[high heaven]

I have one monitor and iMac on my desktop but I wish I can use dual monitor arms for better environment and functionality.

This is an example of dual monitor arms that Im looking for.

I really dont think that my Ikea table is thick enough to hold 25KG.

And this is the stand area which the table need to withstand 25KG. I'm concerning about the weight that my Ikea table might break.

Im using Ikea Galant series but the thickness is only 2cm. Since the dual monitor arms' stand is small and yet need to support 25KG, I can not certain if my table can hold two monitors or not.

But still, I want to use dual monitor arms in order to take advantages from free space and articulated arms.

I wonder if there's a way to use dual monitor arms on my desk without breaking it?

Something you can do is get a strip of metal or even better a L-shaped bar and put that under the desk to help spread out the weight. Just clamp it in.

For what it's worth, I have an Ikea Bekant sit/stand desk at home (the top looks similar to what you have) and use this dual-monitor arm that's holding 2, 24" monitors. I've had this setup for a year and haven't had any issues. If I were going to do what you want, I'd probably do as rdowty suggests and put a piece of metal underneath.
