Take a look what people say about metal computer laptop stands:
Hoped for better…,
I use a stand on a coffee table next to the couch – it’s where I keep my 15″ MBP when I’m home, so I can turn and type or have it handy to pick up and put on my lap for extended work. Right now I have a nice Logitech curved clear plastic unit, and it’s worked well but I wanted something with a little more freedom for what I keep underneath it. The base on that one left me with a “tunnel” under the laptop to store things like a camcorder, firewire drive, etc.. I had hoped this would let me get a little more wiggle room under the laptop while keeping it handy as it’s been.
Shipping is well done – a very sturdy box for the product, with a stand itself folded up inside a little carrying bag with a string pull close on it. So the item itself is pretty assuredly going to arrived unharmed. It also ships with a little velcro strap, which isn’t mentioned on the packaging or directions anywhere, so I assume it’s for cable management if needed.
Unit’s main hinge is pretty steady – it locks into place at the various angles, and holds well. The button to unlock it is easy to depress, and the movement doesn’t feel loose at all.
And that’s where it starts to go downhill. The smaller legs really aren’t steady at all. They pivot open fine, and extend for my laptop, but the “feet” that rotate up are not at all solid, and the arms themselves end up twisting around their axis with little pressure. But it’s those little peg feet that come up to hold the laptop from sliding off the edges that really have the most movement in them, making the laptop feel not at all secure.
They’re less twisty if you don’t extend the legs, and just have them at the fully closed position, but then the whole contraption isn’t wide enough to provide any stability at all, and the laptop tips over if you so much as look cross-eyed at it.
Ipad usage it works well, because of the lack of weight (and the fact that for iPad use, the legs are NOT extended). And the ability to change the angle gives it some value despite the wobble of the legs.
If you want something to use and hammer on for a laptop, this isn’t the answer. Look at the Logitech or some of the other units that are completely stable, just like being on a flat surface. But if you’re like me and it’s mostly there just to have it visible with minimal typing, then this will probably suffice, but be aware that you won’t have the most stable platform available.

|Excellent stand for a low price,
This stand is great! I have seen other Laptop stands and they all seemed bulky and occupying too much space. This stand is minimal and does the job very well.
The item I received seemed to work for both Tablets and Laptops. The instructions were there to extend the legs of the stand to support Laptops. I tried this stand on 3 different laptops, a 13 inch MacBook pro, 15 inch MackBook Pro and a very bulky HP laptop and they were all stable.
I wonder if the people who were complaining about the legs really extended the legs. Without extending there’s no way this would support a laptop.
Very happy with the purchase.
