Buyer Warning. for computers and accessories

There are some critical reviews here and this review will probably repeat most of the complaints. I encountered three main problems: 1. Assembly2. mouse tray3. The beeping thing broke within 30 seconds of putting my laptop on it. Let's take it in order of importance, shall we? 3. The beeping thing broke within 30 seconds of putting my laptop on it. I don't know many things, including a welder, but even I thought the welds looked a little poor. However, it had good reviews, I assembled it correctly, it was sturdy, etc. So I put my laptop on it to try it out. And then the bracket came loose. The welds on it completely failed (see photos where you can see the silver bracket or where the bracket attaches to the tray) and I was lucky my laptop didn't slide off the bed and fall to the floor as a direct result. this failure. It's not a bug I can fix with epoxy, super glue, or a soldering iron, but I shouldn't fix a brand new product within 30 seconds of first use because it failed catastrophically. . So. You know. It happened. And honestly, if you're reading about a product crash for a product designed to support relatively very expensive hardware that could damage your hardware, and you're thinking, 'Hmmm, yeah, very interesting, but I'd like to know more " Then read on. For those of you reading this and thinking "NO, NO, NO”, you are clearly smart and savvy and can save time by switching to a different product or activity entirely. AssemblyLego does a good job of using images to illustrate how something should be assembled. IKEA too. This is very important when you are building a product that will be sold worldwide. Not. To make sure you assemble it correctly, it's helpful to look at the last picture in the instructions first and also familiarize yourself with how to use the footrests. Remember that there are buttons on the legs that you have to press to change the angle of the legs and there are three of them, one for each leg section. The button on the third leg section is not available until you press the button on the second leg section, which is accessible through a hole in the first leg section. If you think that was a confusing sentence, congratulations. You are now authorized to write documentation for this product. However, the most important image in the instructions is the last image as it shows you how the tray should look when properly installed ie it shows you which way the leg supports should face each other when properly attached to the tray , because there is no indication of it on the tray or legs. This is something that is fairly easy to figure out if you attach it incorrectly as the stand is not balanced. However, specifying which direction the legs and tray should face is pretty trivial - it doesn't require anything. more than one sticker and this oversight is a problem.2. mouse tray. Are you there? Good. If you attach a mouse tray, you cannot close the legs. Remember the third leg section that you have to move to access the other leg sections? A mouse tray is screwed into it. The screw hole is visible in at least one of the pictures, but remember you are looking at the side of the leg rest mount - this is the inside of the device, the space your feet should go into when using a tray for your knees, and not outside of the device, where it's at least theoretically possible that the mouse tablet could be something remotely usable, provided you have it perfectly flat, don't move, and the device doesn't move. Tilt. Others have noticed this, so I won't go into it further. manuals and product documentation), technically this thing is a complete mess. Maybe I just got a defective device. Maybe all other devices are fine and won't fail as quickly. This only touches on the most important point. It doesn't make it easier to build, doesn't make the mouse tray more convenient to use, and doesn't suggest that the person who designed this considered an issue with mouse tray placement. I can't even say it's cheap; It was on sale when I bought it, but this thing normally costs $40, and for $40 I expect more than fuzzy instructions, poor product design, and a crash within 30 seconds. I expect more for ANY amount of money. Every customer's experience is unique - you might not run into any of these issues and wonder what this Revain guy was complaining about. If you buy one and run into any of these problems, don't say you weren't warned. This fail thing is cloaked in disaster and surrounded by trash. DO. NO. RECOMMEND.
