Review on 3M Adjustable Monitor Stand Riser: Adjustable Height, Sturdy Platform for Monitors, Laptops, and Printers - Space-saving Silver/Black Design (MS80B) by John Caine

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good product. in Monitor Accessories

Like most 3m products this is a good product. It's not fashionable. They are not adamantium or mahogany. That doesn't mean they look terrible, but they weren't created primarily with looks in mind. Many products are made this way, which is why such products stand out. These products are designed for aesthetic work. This is supposed to work in terms of monitor height. That is why it is the best product when you want to adjust the height of your monitor. It comes with a black base and 4 "legs". Each leg consists of three stackable parts. Each stackable piece adds approximately 2 inches to the height of the stand. For example, I now have a piece for each leg. The point where the stand meets the base of the monitor is about 2.5 inches from the table. I haven't attempted to simply place the tray on a table with no legs, but it looks like it will sit as straight as the table it's on will allow. , this is the step you can customize. There's no really detailed fine-tuning in it. But you pay 30 dollars. It's not about buying mechanics or gears or whatever that will do the job and last for years. As mentioned above, it's not made of premium or fancy material, but it feels durable. Not a perfect material or construction analogy, but think Lego. You can stack them, pull them apart, kick and step on them. for many years without leaving a trace. I expect they will retain their form and function for many years to come. Plastic does not bend or change shape. Nothing will sag or become uneven. The pieces connect seamlessly as long as you don't actively try to change the points where they meet. As an added bonus, the length from the inside of one leg to the inside of the other leg is about 10 or 11 inches, so while it's not ideal storage, it brings back some sort of extra workspace. I bought two of these large stands for my two 23 inch monitors to make sure the stand was big enough. Turns out I didn't have to worry. There is a compartment several inches wide on either side of the monitor base. Anything that accidentally knocks them off these coasters will repel them from anything. They don't even come close to hanging off the edges.
