I did not have any problems with assembly others have reported. The center column is a heavy cast part, with a chromed steel riser shaft. The column contains a counterbalance spring. The bottom piece is heavy gauge steel, perhaps 5/32. The platform is lighter gauge stamped, with a rim around the edge to make it stiff. The lock knob is chromed steel with a knurled finish -- no plastic to break. The entire unit is stiff, no wiggle or rattle. An optional antiskid pad with adhesive back is provided for the platform. The pad adhesive is stamped, "3M".This is really a simple "lab jack", a device used in laboratories. The durability and ruggedness are above consumer products. The design of a center column, instead of the consumer solution of perimeter legs, will decide for you. In my technical environment, the stand had to fit on a repurposed "invalid table". If pushed toward the edge, a consumer stand with discrete "chair legs" would have fallen off the back. The solid base of this unit is what I need for my application. I can fit a monitor or laptop on the top, and a trackball on the base, It shadows the table less than a consumer stand.It won't fit every need, but it may fit yours very well.
The stands are great. The only issue sometimes is the the tightening bold on the back that keeps the preferred height loosens up so the internal springs pushes the stand to its tallest designation. Once pushed back down and tightened its fine.For the price and more seen look you can't go wrong.
I wanted to elevate my laptop to the level of the secondary monitor and also clear some desk space. This unit does the trick. It seems to do very well and, so far, the pneumatic is staying in place.
Good size and height, but the parts are hard to align for assembly and the screw that holds the adjustment height does not work well. I mostly like it at the top height, which is a good thing because it won't stay when I try to set it lower.
This is a great stand. It's perfect for my 27in HP monitor and I absolutely love it. I maybe purchasing another. Wonderful product. It creates more space on my desk.
