Misleading description and photos Not suitable for low height and 15° tilt as shown

I ordered this for low height and angle use as per the product description photos saying Use for Laptop laptop) shown. I also expected it to fold flat as shown in the product photos labeled "Foldable and Portable". These properties can also be seen in the video. All show the stand in its lowest position and at an angle of 15°. That's exactly what I wanted. However, the product I received differs from these photos and videos in subtle but important ways that make it unsuitable for my purpose. In the lowest position, the stand wobbles regardless of the angle because the corner brace is pushing the height brace down (see my video). This could have been avoided by cutting grooves in the height brace (it has a groove, although it's not in the right place to attach anything). Wobbling can be avoided by not inserting the bracket all the way into the plastic insert, thereby sacrificing some stability; a bit of tape might help. Alternatively, you can remove the height brace altogether if you never plan to raise the platform. My photo #1 shows the minimum tilt (26°) at the lowest elevation with the corner brace in its plastic insert where the entire platform rocks. In my photo #2, the angle is not fully inserted into the plastic insert, which avoids wobble, but increases the minimum angle to 34°. The advertised 15° tilt is only achieved by raising the platform 5 to 6.5 inches. Finally, unlike the product photos and videos, the stand does not fold. A slight change in shape of the plastic insert holding the angle would fix part of it. This is mainly due to the folding brackets that support the bottom of the laptop. When they snap into the closed position, push the platform up. This could be corrected by cutting a few grooves in the base. To see the product I received, look at the first three photos of the description. They added plastic inserts to hold the height and corner brackets in place, as well as flip-out brackets to hold the bottom of the laptop. None of these photos show the stand in its lowest position or at a 15° angle, and the stand I received is not capable of this. The extended description is also imprecise, as it mentions a height adjustment of 1.50 cm and a tilt angle of up to 15°. If nothing bothers you, then this is a good design. Thick aluminum and good ventilation (my MacBook Pro gets very hot when using zoom). If you always use it with the elevated platform, this stand is good for you.
