KIVY Dual Monitor Riser With Integrated Metal Shelf [MADE BY HAND] - Wooden Desk Shelf for 2 Monitors - Wide Long Stand for Desk (44 x10x3in - Black)

First, I want to mention the great customer service! They deserve more than 5 stars for their prompt response to my inquiries. I received a good unit but the color was off and not as described. They fixed it. But I can say that quality is on point. Very sturdy and material feels great! Easy to put together indeed! Perfect size for my setup as you can see in the video!

There are a lot of cheap shelves and expensive shelves out there. Somewhere in the middle I found this one. Made my desk setup look a lot better, IMO.

This monitor riser completely transformed my desk setup. It’s incredibly sturdy, and the build quality exceeded my expectations right out of the box. I love how it lifts my monitor to the perfect ergonomic height while also freeing up space underneath—I now have room for my keyboard, Mac Mini, and accessories without the clutter. Aesthetically, it looks amazing. The walnut finish pairs beautifully with my dark and wood-accented setup, and the clean lines give it a modern, minimalist vibe that really pulls everything together. If you’re looking to clean up your workspace without compromising style, this is it. Highly recommend!

If you have ever quested for a desktop monitor stand, you can easily get both enamored by the aesthetic/functionality and put off by the price. The variety of options is vast, but the barrier to entry into that peak aesthetic can be daunting. Grovemade. Balolo. Oakywood. Top tier. With a price to match. Maybe on sale you get them at around $230 or so for the 46”-ish ones. Solid varietals will be more. There is a reason that there are so many versions of what boils down to the same thing: profit margin. This is not a resource intensive item. Usually has three legs, slightly offset. Single wood top of varying quality. About 4 inches high and 9 inches deep. Variety of widths. Walnut seems the default color-way, although I think we can argue over saturation at this point. (Soon to go the way of black car rims) It’s not an engineering marvel. It’s by nature uncomplicated. Not much to go wrong if care is taken in manufacturing. This Kivy desk riser is what you might call a lower tier version of the aforementioned. And you can see where they cut corners. Mine arrived undamaged, but I can see where that possibility existed. The box is thick enough, but could use some reinforcement. Overall, the shelf is very well built. And remains a passable facsimile of the Grovemade shelf. From a few feet away, it’s a very good facsimile. It’s only when touching the finish do you realize the thinness of the veneer and, frankly, its poor application. Mine came with some veneer lift in the center, likely due to contraction and a poor curing process. Surface is quite rough. You can almost feel the veneer lines. This does serve a signifiant purpose, though, as it does not have any surface reflections. It’s distinctly matte. If you do plan on using the aluminum and felt shelf provided with the unit, you’re going to need a center support. The aluminum is so thin it bowed out of the box. By placing an object underneath in the center, you can mitigate this effect. I will personally take mine out because it doesn’t serve much of a purpose in my particular set up. It is unfortunate for those that want to use the shelf, though. As a dupe, it’s really good. The legs disappear underneath. From viewing distance, it looks great. It’s level and solid. It does exactly what it sets out to do at less than half the price of a Grovemade on sale. Sometimes a third of the price. This is a giant win. At $79. on sale, it’s even more compelling. This is a great value for the price. That challenges the leaders in the space. Although it is not unforgivable that the shelf is unusable out of the box, and the finish is far less than ideal, I personally see no compelling reason why this should not be on your short list of desktop stands. It does what it does well. It looks great at distance. I do wonder about longevity. But, it's not like it's getting handled a lot. And, it is by far the best visual example of those high-end products currently on Amazon. Think of it as a generic version of your favorite breakfast cereal. Tastes similar, but you didn’t have to take out a loan to buy it…

Edit: the product material feels different than i expected but its fine and doesn't affect usability at all. It came with a small dent but the seller company was really easy to work with and was eager to make everything right. You won't find this product at this price point and works the exact same as the ones that are double the price.

Well constructed but the finish quality is marginal at best. There are dents, small scratches and areas where wood filler was poorly applied. The metal shelf has very sharp unsafe edges. Based on the reviews, quality seems to be inconsistent. Would not buy it again and it's probably going back. Good price, but you get what you pay for.

This desk riser works well with my custom desk, it matched my walnut stain perfectly. It has the same look and quality as other options 3 times the price. It is unbeatable for the price.

I read through the reviews of this product and it sounded like this riser had less issues than others with arriving damaged. Unfortunately that was not the case - it arrived with a chip in the corner and damage to that edge, despite being packaged well. The style is nice, and the quality is also nice, but for $100 I would expect it to arrive without damage.

Completely satisfied with the quality. The wood is premium, and all components are all well justified.
