Allsop Metal Art Accessory, Monitor Stand Riser (Stand Not Included) - Black (31480) Black/Risers

Look, I'm not the type to have an Instagram worthy working desk. I just want my monitor at the right level so I don't slouch and look like the hunchback of Notre Dame by the time I'm in my 40s. This stand does the job. At roughly 15$ it is by far the cheapest option I've come across. The unit itself is pretty sturdy with very little play (for comparison reasons, take my monitor stand that I bought from Staples for 30$, that is the exact same shape, and is about the the same sturdiness - as in the amount of weight it can hold and wobbliness when under load). With that said, unless you live in earthquake prone regions, this stand is pretty good. My monitor sits upon it proud and stable. It has enough room underneath for you to tuck some stationary under and out of sight. Now why only 4 stars? Well this thing is not a looker. In fact, if my desk wasn't so messy, this thing would be downright ugly. From far, it's not offensive, but having this thing under your monitor within scrutinizing distance, you can see that the top sheet metal was not welded on the straightest and the logo was painted on by someone with a rattle can and masking tape then finished off with a decal. Little to no quality assurance I take it. But that hasn't effected the important parts of the build, such as the unit's sturdiness. It's just ugly. The point is, this item is strictly utilitarian. I don't care how my desk looks. It's always a mess. So for 15$ this is a steal. It raises my monitor and that's all it does. The space underneath it gives me is a plus. But it's not a quality piece. And you shouldn't expect that for 15$. Regardless, I would buy another one. Because I don't care how it looks and so far, it's doing it's job just as well as my more polished Staples monitor stand.

Arrived with hole in product packaging.Upon opening and examination, there appeared to be no damage as a result of the above mentioned hole, so no issues on that front.The product itself, however, had a few visible signs of manufacturing defects. There were a couple of dents on the platform where your monitor/laptop/anything-else-you-want-to-raise would rest. There were also a few spots where the welding was not done adequately. Finally, despite having rubber feet on the bottom of the two legs, the product would not stay perfectly level and would wobble from side to side.For the amount of money paid for this, I expected more. I have returned the product.

I bought this stand to raise my Acer computer monitor up higher on my desk. This stand is sturdy enough to support the weight of my monitor but it does wobble. The rear left side of the stand rests about 1/16 inch above the surface of my desk. The stand arrived fully assembled within a cardboard box. This stand frequently comes on sale for about half price, which is all I paid for it. If you want a cheap monitor stand, wait until this item comes on sale before buying it. If you want a monitor stand that does not wobble, buy something else. You get what you pay for...

I liked these monitor stands mainly due to the low cost and sturdiness. As a bonus you have plenty of room for items underneath the stand that frees up some additional space on your desk. You can for example, place a laptop, a docking station or even a gaming console just below your monitor in the stand. I'd recommend you check the exact specifications in the product description to see if this product will fit your use case but it was very good for mine.

I ordered two of these but they were delivered separately. When I got the first one and put my monitor on it, I saw that the surface was not flat or level such that my desk monitor was wobbly and tilted (it's not that obvious in the 3rd picture but believe me, it was not steady). I was, of course, disappointed and had to put a big flat book on top of the stand to make it steady (the monitor was steady when placed directly on my desk). I thought that was a fluke but when I got the second one, it didn't take me long to see that it was even worse - placingg the stand on a flat surface, you can see there was a gap between the stand "leg" and flat surface - in other words, the whole stand was wobbly and not level or flush with the flat surface (see circled gap in picture). It's such a hassle to return the products so I'm not sure what to do yet. I guess you get what you pay for but it's very disappointing given the high marks given by others.
