Is a reinforcement bar necessary for an Ekbacken + Alex desk if the monitors are wall-mounted?

I’m planning a new desk setup using an Ekbacken countertop supported by two Alex drawers.
To keep the surface clear, I’m wall mounting my dual monitor arm, so there won’t be any monitor weight on the desk itself. I also plan to install a single Olov/Adils leg in the back-center for extra support.

My question is: Do I still need to install a metal reinforcement bar (stiffener) underneath to prevent sagging over time? I’m mostly worried about the weight of leaning on the desk.

Anyone used wall mounted dual arm?

Hi,

Curious to see if anyone’s used a wall mounted dual monitor arm before, everyone seems to use the clamp ons. The reason I’m trying not to use them is my flood are little bit crap and when moving around in the office the desk will shake and will also shake the monitors. So trying to minimise that.
