Review on Licheers Laptop Stand - Adjustable Aluminum Notebook Holder with Magnet, Foldable & Portable for Desk - Compatible with 10-15.6in Laptops - Silver by Doug Twilights

Due to remote training for one of my children during this Cov2 pandemic, I was concerned about the harmful effects of squatting in front of the screen for many hours of routine work with a laptop or laptop. Tablet time for classes and homework in addition to chatting with friends and a few allowed video games. Repeatedly tilting the head down and forward toward the screen - a posture commonly used with laptops - can lead to "technical neck problems" (cervical kyphosis), which is why I bought this stand to elevate the screen. Manufactured by an unknown Chinese OEM/ODM, this stand is one of several stand models currently available in the online China market. Given the design of its 6-position support legs and their slotted (instead of perforated) brackets, this is an old 2020 model. It is distributed by Shenzhen Lingchen Electronic Co. from Guangdong, China under their Licheers brand and sold here in their partner store at a higher price than similar but newer models which were not available when I bought this one.2. The website has conflicting information about the dimensions of the stand. The numbers provided by the seller in the Q&A section are different from the seller's numbers in the 3rd and 4th images at the top of the webpage. Also, none of the sources give correct values: my first drawing shows the dimensions of the stand I received. The elevation angle is between 19° and 32° in 6 discrete steps.3. The free-moving hinge parts make the stand feel wobbly when not under load. However, once loaded, it feels sturdy; he could easily hold two 25 pound kettlebells each night (see my second drawing). However, its design is poor in terms of keeping the support legs in place. Changing position on the table by moving the laptop yourself can break the legs as the legs will not fit securely into the support slots in the base. The legs move slightly, especially the lower the height of the stand - this is partly because the slots are partial notches rather than through perforations which have taller retaining walls like some newer models. Also, repositioning by moving the stand can narrow the base of the stand, which can cause the notebook to fall off the stand. Two simple do-it-yourself mods avoid these risks. Maximum opening can be maintained by attaching the paper binding to the center X-loop. For added protection, bending a binding handle at a 90° angle can prevent the loop from closing when slid underneath (see my third drawing). To keep the legs from falling out of the support slots, I wrapped some rubber bands around the top and bottom rails of the stand. The straps don't affect the stability of the base as they are thinner than the four silicone rubber pads under the base (see my third picture). Both offer a stable stand that can be moved freely or even carried by hand without losing its assembled state. A NOTICE. While a laptop stand is handy for raising the screen to the ergonomically best height (and making it easier to vent hot air out of the laptop), it can interfere with the ergonomic position of wrists, since a laptop keyboard is currently angled and elevated can lead to upward bending of the wrists. People with carpal tunnel syndrome would be better off adding a wireless typing keyboard (flat on the table surface).
