5.0 out of 5 starsGood Ergonomic Stand, Wish It Went Higher And Base Was Heavier
Reviewed in Canada on January 17, 2024
This is a pretty good laptop stand and is definitely more ergonomic and well built than some. I was still disappointed with a few things though. They aren't necessarily deal breakers, just things I wish were different that others may also have concerns about. It is well designed and made but might be more sturdy if they made the support columns attach in the centre of the swivel base and perhaps slightly more centrally attached on the top laptop platform vs the edges of the base and platform which was probably done that way for the collapsing/packing aspect. When the support arms are extended for maximum height and they are more upright instead of coming across the base like in a Z (which distributes the weight better) the stand can be a bit back heavy and might tip over if bumped accidentally with enough force. Not that the stand is wobbly though. it's actually quite light overall which is nice but because it's aluminum the base isn't as heavy as it would be if it was made with steel. Another thing that disappointed me was the height. I measured before purchasing so I had an idea of what it would be like but I wish it would adjust a bit higher to have the laptop screen more eye level when standing so that I wouldn't have to look down. It's a good height for the laptop keyboard when standing though and I do have a second monitor that I can use to have a more eye level screen when standing but something that others/taller people might want to keep in mind when ordering. If needed I'll make or find/buy a riser stand for the base to extend it's height range for when standing. With the stand on a taller desk/table the height should be much more adequate for standing purposes. Also, the stand still wobbles slightly when typing when extended to full height but is more stable side to side than another stand I just purchased and reviewed that had a single height/support column. The other stand (link below) is a great option if height adjustment is less necessary and cost is a concern, and it also swivels.
