This monitor stand is very useful not only to raise your monitor off the desk to a height that is a lot more eye-friendly but also to help tidy the desk and reveal another storage space under the monitor. This version is designed for when space is more restricted, but it still has a few handy recesses for typical desk knick-knacks and even a handy one for your tea or coffee mug. It is nice and compact to suit the more modest size desk. It raises the base of your monitor off the desk by a very useful 8.5 centimetres which will typically give a much more comfortable viewing position.
