Wishbone Monitor Arm

Adjustable single and multi-screen monitor arm by CBS

Wishbone by Colebrook Bosson Saunders is a monitor arm for individual and multi-screen desks. Its post system lets screens sit at different heights, while three arm lengths give planners options for open-plan workstations, trading floors and control rooms. The standard arm supports a screen weighing up to 12 kg. Check each screen's weight and mounting pattern before selecting the arms and posts.

The standard Wishbone has a horizontal reach of 415 mm and a quick-release monitor head. It fits VESA 75 and VESA 100 patterns and lets users turn a screen between portrait and landscape formats. The arms can be arranged for a single monitor or planned in multi-screen groups. Cable management helps route screen leads at the workstation, but the final cable route depends on the desk and chosen arrangement.

Wishbone has several desk fixing options, including universal desk, split-mount and top-mount clamps. Check the desk thickness, edge access and fixing positions before choosing one. A monitor arm can free desk space compared with a screen on its own desktop stand. CBS also makes Wishbone Plus for heavier screens, rated up to 24 kg. This is a separate product, not the load limit of the standard Wishbone arm.

For a larger open-plan or financial-services office, share the desk plan, screen count, screen weights and desk construction with one of our experienced project consultants. They can help plan consistent positions across the workstations and identify where different arm lengths or mountings are needed.

How to specify Wishbone Monitor Arms

Count the screens

List the monitors at each desk and any future multi-screen needs. Decide whether single arms or a shared post arrangement gives each workstation the required positions.

Check weight and mounting

Confirm each screen's weight and VESA pattern. Standard Wishbone supports up to 12 kg per arm and VESA 75 or 100. Heavier screens may need another model.

Choose an arm length

Compare the three available lengths with desk depth and screen layout. The standard arm's stated horizontal reach is 415 mm. Check clearances behind and between monitors.

Specify the desk fixing

Match a clamp to the desk thickness, edge access and cable route. CBS lists universal desk, split-mount and top-mount options with different fitting ranges.

Plan screen movement

Allow room for portrait-to-landscape rotation and for the quick-release head to be used. Check that cables have enough slack for the intended movement.

Coordinate a larger office

For open-plan desks, control rooms or trading floors, agree screen counts and consistent mounting heights before the fit-out. Ask the project team to check desk support.

The Wishbone Monitor Arms were specified throughout the open-plan office within the TCW project, complementing the desking range also supplied by Après Furniture. Their adjustable design allows users to position screens to suit their individual working preferences, while keeping each workstation organised and providing a clean, consistent appearance across the office.
