I purposefully placed the hook on the inside. This feature, as well as the associated pouch, are intended to be visible from the outside.I bought this desk to replace an l-shaped desk. I appreciate the size and stability. The setup is a 10/10. I am 5'5 and have plenty of leg room. The construction is light but strong. The depth is also quite substantial in comparison to the overall width. In addition, if you're looking to pair a mount, I recommend the following: MOUNT PRO Computer Monitor and Laptop Desk Mount Combo, Height Adjustable Monitor Stand fits 13'' to 32 LCD Computer Screen, Notebook Up to 17'', with Clamp/Grommet Mounting Base, Holds Up to 19.8lbsWhatever you choose, make sure the clamp can stretch approximately 2 inches or more, as recommended by the designer.
