Manufacturer description

The Pholiten 2-Tier Monitor Stand Riser lifts your screen to eye level and hands back the desk space underneath it.

The 0.5 inch (12 mm) top board is matte, polished flat, and odorless, with squared edges that wipe clean instead of trapping dust.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight can the Pholiten monitor stand hold?

It is rated for monitors under 66.1 lbs (30 kg), which covers virtually every consumer LCD up to 32 inches and most ultrawides by weight.

Will a keyboard fit underneath it?

Yes. The riser is 5.6 inches tall overall with an open lower tier, and the 16.5 x 9.3 inch footprint is sized to let a keyboard slide under the top board when you are not using it.

What is the monitor stand made of?

Matte MDF with a 0.5 inch (12 mm) thick top board, finished with a polished surface and flat edges. It is described as odorless and resistant to deforming.

Does it work with a laptop or MacBook instead of a monitor?

Yes. The flat top board is listed as suitable for monitors, MacBooks, and laptops, so it works as a laptop riser as well as a display stand.

Will it slide around or scratch my desk?

It has non-slip feet that grip the desktop and act as a buffer between the board and your furniture surface to prevent scratching.
