Product Description

Manufacturer Description

Strange, but true -- not every desk is designed with a computer in mind. I know it's hard to believe in this day and age, but whatever. And what about those of you using a countertop or table as a computer desk? Sure the computer will fit -- the monitor goes behind the keyboard, the CPU goes...well, the CPU goes wherever the wires allow. You can just pull up a folding chair and start clicking away. But that doesn't sound very appealing, does it? No ergonomics there.

The Metal Art Jr. helps your computer fit into your life. Both in function and in form. Forged from steel, it provides a sturdy shelf for your monitor or printer. And there's space beneath for your keyboard or other office supplies. Its compact base makes it perfect for flat panel monitors and even laptops.

The simple curved design and powder-coated finish aren't meant to match your computer. They help create a balance between the comfortable feel of your home or office and the technical convenience of your computer. In a nutshell, the Metal Art Jr. gives your monitor or laptop a lift and looks good doing it.

Features include:

• Better looking office furniture for your home office, supports your monitor
• Strong: holds up to 40 pounds
• Enamel coated surface enhances workplace environments
• Brings a clean and modern look to any desktop

5.0 out of 5 stars Attractive and functional, January 2, 2004

This review is from: Allsop 27021 Metal Art Jr Monitor Stand (Pewter) (Personal Computers)

If you own a laptop and use an external LCD monitor or you are just looking to sneak some small peripherals or desk accessories beneath your monitor or an inkjet printer, look no further. The MetalArt Jr. is a classy alternative to molded plastic stands intended for beafier CRT monitors. I ordered the product to use as a stand for a 17" LCD monitor. Not only does it raise the monitor to the ideal height, but it is spaced perfectly to store my IBM T40 laptop and docking station neatly beneath. The perforated metal at the top of the stand allows air to flow freely and keeps both the laptop and monitor cool.

The description doesn't give the dimensions of the stand, which are very important since its size is not traditional, so I'll list them here (from the manufacturer): 11" x 15" x 4.5".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stand, but Amazon's photo is inaccurate, June 4, 2008

This review is from: Allsop 27021 Metal Art Jr Monitor Stand (Pewter) (Personal Computers)

This is a terrific (and relatively inexpensive) monitor stand, particularly if your desk space is limited; the design allows things to be slid under it. However, Amazon's photo is slightly misleading. The stand is not a silver color (or "pewter" as the item description says); it's a light gray-green.

The Allsop MetalArt Jr. is an amazing laptop stand, especially considering how low the price is compared to many other laptop stands. ($50+ for a piece of bent metal? No thank you.)

I use this in conjunction with my MacBook connected to a keyboard and mouse for when I'm at my desk. Not only does it put the MacBook's screen at a more comfortable level, but it also has plenty of room underneath for tape dispensers, staplers, books, or even an external hard drive.

It's very well built and sturdy, and my MacBook has been running between 4-5º C cooler, which, for a notebook, is quite a substantial amount of heat dissipation. The stand is a stylish gunmetal gray, and is sure to make any desk-bound notebook computing much more bearable.
