Monitor helps posture
on February 26, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
We have bought this product many times. After back surgery it was important that I had good posture. One way is to elevate your monitor so it's at eye level. I am tall so I needed this. I used to just use a box but this is more aesthetically pleasing. I would recommend it to anyone. It's a good value!
I wanted something simple to raise my new lap top off the desk to give me added room for everything else. I didn't want to spend a lot of money for a docking station so I just got a gang plug for my various USB driven accessories so that I only have one USB port to plug in and unplug when I go mobile with my lap top. Seems faster and easier to me than using a docking station. I have my extra drive my key board my mouse and my printer all on the one USB gang plug. Works great. When I'm not using the lap top I slide the keyboard under the shelf and have all the room I need on my desk. This stand is a low tech simple easy no fuss/no muss inexpensive desktop accessory.
I needed a stand for my television and HD modem which are on a cabinet designed for another purpose. This stand is strong stable enough to hold the large flatscreen television easily and to allow air to circulate between the tv and the modem.
I am so happy to have my monitors at actual eye level. I didn't realize what a strain was on my neck. I highly recommend doing your body a favor by raising your monitors.
For the most part I am usually satisfied with the Staples brand of products. Less expensive than the branded items and still able to perform the task for which they were purchased. This stand is no exception and perhaps even more so than usual. I found this stand less conspicuous than the other offerings significantly less expensive and more than up to the task of supporting my monitor at a level that I needed. The fact that it allows me to store a ream of paper under it is a nice bonus. Sometimes there are silver linings and this product is one.
My company has use this product for the past few years and it has withstood employees that have come and gone. If you purchase this produce you will be delighted with the other things it can be used for. I use my old one to hold a 19 in TV.
My Dr. suggested that I get my computer screens at work more eye level to help my neck pain. I bought 2 of these which really helped them to be more eye level & freed up some additional desk space for me to work.
