Will three 24-inch monitors fit on a 160 cm desk?
Three 24-inch monitors on a 160 cm desk are a near-flush fit even angled to 20 degrees, so the included stands work for depth but a triple arm holding the angle is what keeps it clean, and the deep 80 cm top does the comfort work.
A 160 cm (63 in) desk is the wider European standard size, and three 24-inch 16:9 panels span about 62.7 inches (159 cm) flat. That is a true edge-to-edge fit with essentially no margin, so the side screens have to angle inward. At 20 degrees the two outer panels compress by cosine and the total footprint drops to about 60.2 inches (153 cm), leaving roughly 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) of clearance per side.

How this is calculated
The 160 cm European desk is usually 80 cm (31.5 in) deep, which is generous for three 24-inch 1080p panels. Each 24-inch native stand uses about 15-18 cm (6-7 in) of depth, leaving roughly 60 cm (24 in) of keyboard surface and a 60-66 cm (24-26 in) viewing distance that sits well within the comfort band for a 92 PPI panel. The wrap from the 20 degree side panels also pulls the far edges into your peripheral field of view, which is the sim and multitasking payoff. Because the angled fit is near-flush, the clamp load on these thin IKEA-class honeycomb tops matters: a heavy triple arm can crush the desktop, so pick one rated for a lightweight European top.
Verdict
Three 24-inch panels span about 62.7 inches (159 cm) flat against a 160 cm (63 in) surface, which is flush before anything is angled. Cosine-compressing the two outer screens at 20 degrees drops the apparent width of each from 20.9 to about 19.7 inches (50 cm), cutting the total footprint to roughly 60.2 inches (153 cm) and returning only about 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) of clearance per side. That is a near-flush fit, so a triple arm that holds the angle precisely is what makes it work rather than the panels simply clearing the desk. The 80 cm depth is what separates this European size from the tighter inch twins: the 24-inch native stands consume 15-18 cm and leave a 24-26 inch (61-66 cm) viewing distance that suits the 92 PPI 1080p panels without forcing a wall mount. The thin honeycomb top is the caveat for a clamp-mounted arm, where over-tightening is the common failure.
