Monitor Stands - monitor riser, kensington


at first I thought I received the wrong product but I checked the model number and I was sent the correct one, the description says the stand measures 17.3 x 13.8 inches, but its length & width is actually only 15.5 x 11.5 inches, the product photo shows the legs near the edge of the stand but they're actually about .75 inches in, why is that important? because it means you have even less room to put something under the stand, out of the length of 15.5 inches you can only fit something that about 11.5 inches long, the ends of the screws stick out unlike the flat surface that you see in the product photo, and finally the bottom of the board does not have curved edges like you see in the product photos, I just hope they didn't also lie about the weight this stand supports Kensington K60089 Monitor Stand Plus with SmartFit System

The top of the stand is solid and looks good. The "SmartFit" removable pieces on the legs are a nice way to customize the height, but also make the legs feel a little flimsy or shaky. Still it's a decent stand overall, and less tacky looking than a Fellowes stand I'd previously bought. As a side note I believe Amazon may have sent me an item that had been returned, because the top had some stratches on it.

Came on time. Very good product. Easy to put togther. Only thing I have to complain about is that you can see the fasterners from top of stands platform. Its coated black so its blends in a bit but would have been nice if they figured a way to put together and not have fasteners showing on top.

A few issues:

The legs on this thing are a bit creaky on account of all of the removable height adjusters, and there are visible lines between each piece, which makes it a bit less pretty. Also, the rubber nubs that attach to the bottom don't stick super well if you're moving it around occasionally.



Bottom line: If you anticipate moving this around a lot, or your desk or monitor wobbles around a bit, I might not buy this. Also wouldn't recommend it for laptops. Otherwise, it's nice, looks cool, and it does its job well for a respectable price.

Well it works but the wrong way. Firstly they dont tell you the dimensions from inside the screw holes. A 15 inch tuner or whatever WONT fit. Although the dimensions say 15 or less. But again the screws mess that all up. I did manage to turn the monitor stand the other way but it looks silly but it works. Also one screw went in loosley

wont not tighten stripped. Also the stickers they give you to hide the screw is awful wont stay on long before falling off! wouldnt recoomend to anyone save your money for something else!!! Not worth the mony. Should tell you exact dimensions underneath stand so you can figure out if your tuner or component will fit at all! Poor design. Top of stand is wood will scratch eventually as well

Am I the only one who tried popping the supports together to get an idea of how high I wanted it, only to find out that they don't come apart? Wish the instructions had something written to that effect rather than a bunch of colorful hands and no instructions. When I tried to pull the supports apart, one of the plastic pegs broke off. I ended up breaking the whole piece out with some tools - not pretty, but does the job. Not faulting Amazon here; I know they would have replaced it had I asked. That being said, this stand works great for my 26" tv; the cable box fits underneath the stand perfectly. Just be careful!

i like it. smooth looking and unobtrusive. adjustable height. i use it to raise a kodak all-in-one printer up to store various kinds of paper underneath along with the printer's power transformer and my reading glasses. - Lcd Monitor Stand - Stands - Kensington - Monitor Riser'
