Pros

Stand takes some assembling, but comes with instructions and an allen key. Little sticky rubber 'feet' are provided, that need cutting and attaching. This is very easy to do - just like lego. It's fairly easy to assemble but you need to be strong in t...  Read More

Kensington's smartfit system uses a colour-coded hand print to determine the height of a monitor stand. The stand has a modular leg design and can be set at three different heights.

Stand is very sturdy and does the job well, but it is quite expensive given that it is a sheet of mdf with on plastic supports. There is some lateral movement in the uprights but it remains stable when in use. I get a very very slightly wobble of my s...  Read More

It helps that i really like it and find it genuinely useful. And adaptable removing or adding the lifts. Should be long-lasting and reusable.



Cons

It has a number of flaws, firstly it is not built to last. The stand is also made out of mdf and the legs are made of thin steel. This makes it very unstable when placed on top of an imac, as well as making the stand flip up. The pedestal costs £99.

The only good thing. Is what finishes this off as a viable product; an rrp of £30 is madness. You won't be able to use this stand for long.

In the product listing it talks about it being adjustable to three heights - it's not!

Price


That aside, i liked this; the price seems reasonable and assembly was nice and easy.

Competitiveness


The legs have three height options, which are in 4cm steps.


I have my 32inch monitor on top of this.


One block raises it to 8cm and the second block adds a further 4cm raising the monitor by up to 12cm.

    I thought it was probably time to get a proper monitor stand rather than just keep using a pile of books to adjust its height

    It took me about thirty minutes to assemble and five minutes of that was deciding where the little rubber feet were supposed to go as they are pictured in the contents but not in the assembly instructions
