Are budget monitor arms like VIVO and HUANUO actually reliable?

Verified-purchase reviewers and r/buildapc threads describe both as more solid than their price suggests, with the caveats that adjustments can be stiff (VIVO) and there's some minor wobble or imperfect cable management (HUANUO). r/ultrawidemasterrace warns specifically against using lighter HUANUO models with large ultrawides, but the heavier-duty variants get positive notes.
