This seems like a pretty cool idea for a computer stand, but I thought it was taller than it actually is. When it arrived I measured the rear stand and it measures around 3 inches. It looks bigger in the photo. I had hoped for a higher position. This was also supposed to be collected, which I didn't know. It's not difficult at all, only 4 screws, but it surprised me. It's nice that the bracket for the bottom edge of your computer has some sort of material to keep the keyboard from sliding off because I've previously bought a pair of stands that are much better angled but seem to only fit Apple computers that have not been specified. My computer and little Chromebook slide off immediately. I had to attach "Earthquake Spatula" to hold the PC to the stand. Finding the right computer stand is surprisingly difficult!
