I actually got this for other components: internet and music. It works perfectly. I like that it is strong unobtrusive and meshed so the components can vent.
It is a really nice riser. It is nice and sturdy. It is a good height so I can have other things put underneath it. I would recommend it to anyone that can use this type of product. I am using mine with my computer and keyboard underneath.
The stand is sturdy the perfect height (to align my smaller monitor with its larger companion) and has plenty of room below for my laptop. The exact same stand is available for less than half the price online (thus 4 stars instead of 5) but Staples was the only local store that had it.
