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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sufficiently large stable stand

I use a 32 inch monitor and due to my vision problems I have to have it with me. The monitor they sent me to work does not have a height adjustable stand and the bottom of the screen is too low for me. To bring it closer, I'd also prefer to have the keyboard sit under the monitor so I can slide the monitor onto my desk. This stand is perfect. I can tuck my full-size keyboard all the way under the stand and have enough vertical height that my hands can type without my palms banging against the underside of the stand. My 32" monitor fits on it and I can slide the entire stand forward to my desk. so I can get the monitor close enough. The height is good, so now I can see the bottom corners of the screen well; True, 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 of not having enough room for my hands 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.
