Rain Design mStand Laptop Stand - Space Gray (10072)

At first, I was skeptical of the price, especially when I opened up the box and what I was presented with was nothing but a thick chunk of shaped metal. However, now that I've been using this for a bit of time, I can attest to it's quality:1. This thing is STURDY. One of my children is a curious (read: nosy) four year old who loves to inspect anything she can get her hands on. No amount of her typing, tugging, pulling or otherwise manipulation of the work laptop upon this stand has budged it in the slightest. Unless you are (an adult) intentionally trying to remove the laptop from the stand, your computer is very stable.2. It's actually great for hiding wires. It has a hole in the back for tunneling wires towards/away from the computer, and this stand being the hunk of metal that it is, does a nice job obscuring such wires, which gives the stand a nice, clean look on a desk with a little bit of care. For some people, this matters a lot, which gives this stand an edge over the more architecturally sparse stands on Amazon.3. The space between the "legs" of the stand and the "floor" where your computer rests is a great place to hide your phone while getting work done. I put mine on a charger and hide my phone there, which is really nice for limiting any tendencies to check my phone when I have a lull in my attention span. Since you can't see the phone when it rests there, but you can still hear it, I found myself pleasantly surprised that this stand could enable better productivity from my bad habits.It's a good stand and it's worth the money, especially if you have dual monitors and/or you're trying to improve the ergonomics of your workspace.

If you work from home or use a dual monitor set up at home then this is a great stand. I personally don’t feel the need to move the laptop up and down since I mainly used my monitor screen over my laptop screen so I was far more concerned with a solid stand that wouldn’t break on me. This being solid metal I was never worried about my laptop falling, it is super easy to set up your laptop and then take it down when you need to take it on the go. This stand spins seamlessly far better than I expected, actually I would say it might be too smooth as if it get bumped at all it tends to just spin away from you.

Used this for over a year, and it does its job perfectly and has held up just fine. Very very good quality product!

Absolutely indispensable for me. I own about 8 of these and have them all over the house so that there is always one near at hand for my laptop.It helps to have small buckwheat cushions available, or a lap desk, to put on your lap when you use this.Of all the shapes, sizes, and designs of laptop risers - including the question 'is it better for the legs to be on the side, or for there to be a single bottom piece that rests on your legs' - this unit answers that question conclusively. This is the best design.- The bottom piece is just wide enough to balance and stay put properly, but not so wide as to bump into things on the right and the left. It doesn't stick forward all the way so that there is space for your hands, and so that the entire unit can angle forward a bit more if you want (including having the front edge actually come all the way down and touch your lap while you lie back on the couch!)- The lip that prevents the laptop from sliding off is tall enough to support your laptop, but smooth and unobtrusive and only fills up the middle section in order to avoid interfering at the sides.- The rubber pieces on the top surface are unobtrusive, feel good, and have never peeled off for me even after constant use for months on end, and they keep the laptop from sliding 100%.- The rubber feet on the bottom work- There is a convenient finger grip on the lip so that even with the laptop pressing down against the lip and covering the entire top face of the unit, you can still run your finger along the lip and find the center point easily so you know where the center of the unit is to pick up either your laptop or the unit with the right balance.- There's also a convenient finger-sized, but smooth, hole in the center of the top face and enough space underneath so that you can swoop your hand under, locate the underside hole by feel, and then use your finger in the hole and your hand to lift the entire unit up without risk of grabbing it or lifting it in the wrong place.- The entire thing is nicely weighted.- Finally, most importantly, the angle of the keyboard is perfect.At first, I thought that the lack of adjustable angle would be bad. But the fact is that the angle and height is already perfect for a table top, and when it's on your lap so that you might want a bit of a different angle, the base is set back enough and just small enough that you can easily and naturally shift its forward/backward angle right on your lap (especially if you use a small buckwheat cushion or laptop tray such as the Grifiti tray, which I use all the time).The best laptop riser I've ever used, bar none. Really helps work comfortably and easily. A solid piece of work. Five stars.
