Review on Monoprice Corner Multimedia Desktop Stand by Alejandro Dabney

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Missing parts poor workmanship

I love the design and idea of this monitor stand and I will say that the black glass top is very good but that's when the problems start. screwed at both ends. Adjustable legs screw in at one end and a threaded stud at the other to attach the legs to a threaded base that attaches to the underside of the jar - these threaded studs were nowhere to be found. So when it arrived it was pretty much useless. Went to the hardware store to fix it. The thread on the adjustable legs turned out to be M10 x 1.50. So I bought several metric screws of the same size. Came home and cut them to a reasonable length (about 1 inch). Then I discovered that they don't fit all legs. One leg, she worked both ends. Another leg, no end. I fiddled with this for a while, machining the threads until at least one end of each leg would accept M10 bolts. Then I assembled everything but noticed that the threaded holes in the legs are not very correct. That may be due to the foot material being quite thin, but I suspect other issues I've had are just poor workmanship. I haven't had any trouble pulling the threaded sockets under the glass yet, but I'll be sure to be very careful not to apply a lot of torque or bending moment to the legs. The adjustable feet are a nice feature that eliminates any wobbling. Hope that helps. This is a beautiful design, but you may need a bit of work to put it together. Take it or leave it, depending on how important size/design is to you.
