Solid monitor riserMarcos C.This is a great alternate to Grovemade's monitor stand. The stand is not wobbly and is sturdy even with a large monitor on top. I'm also able to close my 16" laptop and slide it under the shelf.5
Warped!Adam R.The monitor stand looked fine in the store. When I brought it home and set it on my table, it wobbled. Upon closer inspection, the flat stand top was bowed on both the big and little stand. Both stands were also warped.
If it wasn't for that, I would rate it 5 stars :(1
Stable and stylish monitor riserEric W.The vattenkar monitor stand is excellent.
It's extremely versatile since it comes in 2 parts that can be connected with a few pieces of hardware.
I've used it in different configurations to raise up my monitors, as well as, as a stand for my laptop.
The larger piece has a good amount of clearance where I can place my laptop on top and have my mechanical keyboard below.
The construction is really sturdy and strong, and I'm impressed with how level the stand is.
As with all things on my desk, I use a level to make sure everything is flush. With the vattenkar I didn't have to adjust it at all.
I also really love the styling. The color is a little more yellow than my other oak-colored items but it's not super noticeable. It's mostly the rounded aesthetic that I really love since most other monitor stands have more brutal sharp edges.
I'm definitely going to pick up a couple more of these for the rest of the family.5
It's pretty, but EXTREMELY wobblySerena K.I love the color, and it physically looks great, but the wood is very warped so the whole thing wobbles. Only 2 corners of the stand make contact with my desk at a time. The movement of typing on a small separate keyboard is enough to wobble the entire stand and everything on it, so my whole monitor wobbles the entire time I'm typing anything (including this).
Overall, I would pass on this one. It's so unsteady that I don't feel like my monitor is safe on top. One accidental bump into my desk and I feel like the whole thing is going to topple over. Also it came in scratched? Small scratches, but still weird.2
