I bought a 120 cm wide desk with drawers on the right side. The drawers and the raised edge take up roughly 49–50 cm, leaving about 71 cm of usable width. I may be able to unscrew and shift the desktop slightly to increase that space to around 75 cm. The desktop is about 55 cm deep, despite being advertised as 60 cm.
I want to use two 24-inch monitors, with the main monitor centered and facing straight ahead. However, each monitor is approximately 53 cm wide without the stand, so I'm unsure how to fit the second one in the remaining space. Would a monitor arm help, or would stacking one monitor above the other be the better option? There is also a minor issue with one drawer handle being installed incorrectly, but the main concern is the limited monitor space and the drawer section on the right.

Two 24-inch 16:9 monitors are roughly 53 cm wide each, so placing them side by side requires about 106 cm before accounting for bezels or any gap between them. They won’t fit side by side in a 75 cm-wide area, even if you remove the monitor stands. A dual monitor arm can free up desk depth and clamp to the desktop, but it cannot make two screens fit horizontally in less width than their combined size.
The realistic layout is to stack the monitors vertically, with one above the other. A dual monitor arm or wall mount would keep both stands off the desk and avoid the drawer section getting in the way. Before buying an arm, measure the desktop thickness, check where the clamp can attach, and confirm that there is enough ceiling or wall clearance above the desk. If you prefer both screens at eye level, you’ll need a wider desk or a separate monitor stand positioned elsewhere.
Shifting the desktop may give you a little more usable space, but it won’t solve the basic width problem. The 55 cm depth should be enough for most monitor arms, though you should check the arm’s clamp range and how far the screens extend toward you. I’d measure the exact monitor widths and the clearance above the desk before modifying the furniture.
