Might benefit from some upgrades

I was looking for a laptop stand that would allow me to elevate my computer for video conferencing by placing the keyboard at a suitable angle for typing. I purchased this stand based on overwhelmingly positive reviews and was initially impressed with the way it was packaged and the quality of the look and feel of the parts. However, my impression was somewhat spoiled when I assembled the stand and tried to use it. The first thing I noticed as I put the pieces together was that the brackets were drilled slightly out of place, causing the top of the stand to be slightly but noticeably misaligned with the base. I may re-drill the holes at some point to give room to adjust this, but not a good start. After assembling it with my 15-inch Macbook Pro mounted on top, I tried typing and immediately noticed it bouncing around. I've decided to leave mine plain as it's still good for video conferencing or elevating the screen to a more comfortable height when using a computer. with an external display, keyboard, and mouse, but if I plan to type on it a lot, I'd look for a product with more keyboard and trackpad support, as the shaking screen gets on my nerves pretty quickly. , I've since noticed that the top left pad is now slowly sliding down. It has moved about 1/4 inch although the sticky pad stays in place. This area of my computer gets hot from time to time, so they'll probably have to try a different adhesive or cut indentations in the stand to get these pads to sit and stay in place. All in all not a bad product and it certainly has a nice quality look but I would look elsewhere if I needed another in the future.

Pros
  • LARGE WARMING COMPARTMENT
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
