Wall Mount Monitor stand -> Favorites cheap options?

Hiya guys!

Going to be building my own adjustable standing/sitting fold-down
workstation desk, and was hoping to hear some of your thoughts on
your favorite wall-mounted monitor arms/stands...

I'm looking to get 2 to support 19-22" monitors. I'm guessing I'd
need about 20-22" of vertical adjustability. What do you like that's
sturdy, functional, and doesn't cost more than $100 each?

Would a desk mounted stand work? If your desk height is adjustable, your monitors would just move along with it right? I've used this one for a year now:

Super cheap, and surprisingly very well built. Holds 2 24's like a champ. Two drawbacks: You can't change the height on the fly, and your desk can't be flimsy or the mount won't secure properly and it will lean.

thanks HitmonInfinity! That just might work if I make a beefy enough
'main base' part of the desk. I'm hoping to do something like this
with closet space in a smaller spare room:




Happy to hear if anyone else has had good experience with wall mounts
that aren't too pricey. (somewhat concerned about the effort it'll take
to raise and lower, although not sure how often I'll be doing it)

If you get the proper poles, you can mount to the supports you have for the desk and raise them independent from the platform.
