SAMDI Laptop Stand Wood Wooden Cooling Computer Holder Notebooks Desktop Mount for MacBook Air Pro 13 15 iPad

This is a very nice laptop stand. The materials and build quality are top notch, and the dimensions are accurate. It is furniture quality bent plywood, with beautiful real walnut veneer. Please disregard the condition of the box, as it was ordered and shipped directly from SAMDI in China, and got a little banged up in transit, but the contents were in fine shape. The little chalky white marks seen along the edges in a couple photos look like scuffs, but disappeared completely once I found a damp cloth to wipe them off. Also included in the box (in one of those darker photos), is a velvet fabric bag that had the stand inside. However, there is one little drawback, but it is mostly remedied with enclosed items. I purchased this for use with a HP AB100-15T Pavilion Gaming laptop, and I would say it's probably at the limit of maximum size (non-Apple) laptop that this stand could hold securely. The shape of the front of the computer is angled to the point where the front lip is ineffective at holding the laptop in place. Upon opening the lid to an upright position, the laptop becomes tail-heavy and lifts itself over the front lip and slides off. I have remedied this by affixing the enclosed 3M adhesive rubber feet to the surface on which the laptop sits. (See pic) This has resolved this issue entirely, but it's something that must be considered. What I really like about this stand is its ability to be stood up on end to hold the laptop in a vertical position, making more room for use with an external mouse, monitor, keyboard, and accessories, while still retaining its cord management qualities. In its horizontal position, it cantilevers the computer over the work surface with no obstacles impeding use of the space below, and with enough lift to store a wireless keyboard or other accessories when not in use . It puts the laptop keyboard at a comfortable height and angle, and the monitor at an ideal viewing height. The ventilation slots seem to be more than adequate, and through last night's gaming session, the fans were able to run uninhibited, and the laptop remained cool the entire time. Overall, though, it absolutely gets five stars since what I received is exactly what's described in the listing and exactly what I wanted. Read more

This is a very nice, modern, plywood stand. The finish is a very nice-looking maple. It is well-balanced, and thoughtfully designed. The curved shelf on which the laptop rests has venting cut through in parallel lines to help keep the laptop cool. I have a 13.3. MS Surface Book on it, and it sits well. It is very elegant looking, and it raises the laptop closer to eye level for better ergonomics. The shape also provides a useful alcove under the laptop to slide a desktop keyboard and a small dock or hub. The back of the unit has a hole cut out for cable management. The only suggestion I would make would be to add some rubber grip pads to the laptop shelf. The Surface Book is a 2-in-1, so the feet on it are a bit small, letting it slide around a bit more than I would like. This may not be an issue for another laptop with bigger feet, so I would not mark it down for that (just a suggestion). Overall, very pleased with it. As nice a Grovemade but at a far more reasonable price point. Highly recommended. Read more

Now that I know I’ll be working from home on a more permanent basis, I decided to make some updates to my home office setup. I need a dual screen for my job, and the monitor I use to connect to my laptop is quite large. This led to the laptop screen seeming a lot lower down than the monitor screen, so I wanted a stand to help level them out. This one looks much nicer than a lot of the other ones on the market and holds my thinkpad perfectly! I also like the hole in the back to feed cords through - helps keep everything nice and tidy. It is a bit expensive but for me personally very worth it. Lastly, my workplace doesn’t do video calls very often, but if you’re using the camera on your laptop this would bring it more to eye level which could be nice Read more

This laptop stand was a gift, and while beautiful in construction, it arrived defective, warped, and will not lay flat. Unfortunately, it is unusable and no longer available for replacement. Read more

Initially I wanted a laptop stand for more space on my tiny desk. Others I looked at either didn't fit a laptop with keyboard or were ugly metal or plastic. Because it's in plain sight, I wanted stylish and this fit the bill. Gives me more space under it and covers the ugly wires behind. See before and after. I'm now looking straight ahead while typing instead of hunched over. Wish I'd bought sooner. Read more

I use this stand to elegant my MacBook to a comfortable viewing height. It makes a huge difference to look straight ahead rather than down if I'm working for more than thirty minutes. The walnut color on the stand looks great and seems well made. I like how my keyboard can tuck away in the stand as well. I recommend rubber bumpers on the top and bottom. Bumpers on the top is a must to prevent your computer from sliding. On the bottom is also a must to protect your table. The package came with four bumpers but really there should have been enough for both the top and bottom. Read more
