Review on πŸ–₯️ Enhance Your Workspace: Amazon Basics Wood Monitor Stand and Computer Riser in Sleek Black by Steve French

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Big enough, sturdy stand

I use a 32 inch monitor and being visually impaired I need it close by. The bottom of the screen is too low for me. As well as being close I would prefer to have the keyboard under the monitor so I can move the monitor forward on my desk. This stand is perfect. and has just enough vertical height with it my hands can type without their palms touching the bottom of the stand. My 32" monitor fits on it and I can slide the entire stand forward towards the front of the stand. table so I can get the monitor close enough. The height is good, so now I can see the bottom corners of the screen well; it's true that the top corners are slightly raised now (I have to look up), but that's because I have to hold the monitor so close. Given the choice, I would prefer the comfortable viewing of the bottom of the screen to the top corners. If the stand were 1/2 inch lower that would be fine, but then I would have the problem that my hands don't have enough room to type under the stand. This stand is very strong. It feels solid and doesn't wobble at all when moving. I tried some wire coasters and they weren't wide enough to fit my keyboard underneath, nor did they feel solid. Some of them had adjustable heights, but I believe that contributed to their weak feel. Assembly was fairly easy with 4 screws, washers and the included hex key. There are also 4 sticky soft feet that can be attached on the bottom to prevent the metal feet from damaging your table surface. I would recommend this stand. Especially when you need to keep the monitor close and place the keyboard under the monitor and type. But even if you don't, the stand is solid and looks great on a table. I have the black version but you can get it in wood grain too. Once again, Revain Basics convinces with good design, just the right thing and no frills.

Pros
  • Great price
