These stands are exactly what I was looking for: gun metal in color, made of metal (not plastic), sturdy, and stylishly. I bought two of them. In my home office for my wife and me, a 22" widescreen LCD monitor sits on one; a 20" widescreen LCD monitor sits on the other. A 15" IBM Thinkpad fits very nicely under one (saving lots of desk space). Even with a laptop underneath, there is still space underneath to stow an external keyboard over the laptop. See my images for this product. Very highly recommended.

This monitor stand works and looks great. However, the dimensions listed here are incorrect. The correct dimensions of the Allsop Metal Art Monitor Stand are 23.5" x 14.5" x 4.75". The dimensions listed on this website (as of the writing of this review) are closer to the Metal Art Junior version.

I have a "HOLE" on the wall (I guess you call it built-in TV stand?) to hold my 32" LCD TV. Yeah, it is just a hole, nothing else. Hard to find something slim yet strong to lift the TV enough and to put a DVD player underneath. Found this one, thought give it a try. It works! It actually hold up to 70 lbs. The 32" LCD TV weighs about 35 lbs.
Not the most handsome look since the TV is wider than the stand, but it works.

A great design. Virtually no wobble in the stand when loaded with a monitor. IMO, this is the best looking stand on the market. No plastic parts, smooth lines, industrial look. The lift is 5 inches.

Would work great for a laptop if a separate keyboard and mouse are used.

I have a 40 or so " TV on a black pedestal base. This stand works perfectly to raise the TV over the Tivo. Because of its open structure, there is nothing to block the front of the Tivo, and there is ample ventilation of both pieces of equipment. And it looks much nicer than I would have thought. Highly recommended.

I originally bought this for a clunky 17" CRT monitor about 2 years ago, and boy did it free up massive amounts of space on my desk! Then when I switched over to a 19" LCD, I kept it and found it was still very useful, had enough room for my LCD plus a pair of computer speakers on top, and my cordless keyboard underneath. Too many monitor stands these days have vertical supports at the front as well as the rear, which makes it impossible to slide your keyboard underneath when not in use...GRRR!

And just as importantly, I love the sleek, clean and simple design. Mine was a dark brushed-nickel or titanium color, not sure if it's the same as this one listed as "black." Too much of industrial design these days seems to be geared for the teeny-bopper bling-bling set, this one is obviously for adults. It's too bad that Walmart no longer carries it, I'd buy another from them right now if I could for my new office!

As a monitor stand, this is excellent. It has no problem supporting my 22" HP w2207 LCD monitor. However, if you want to put your keyboard and mouse underneath it, be mindful of the space.

The space between the supports is about 22 inches wide and 12 inches deep, so I can put a keyboard underneath it. Unfortunately, there's not much room to store a mouse and a mousepad side-by-side with the keyboard. Luckily, I have a cordless mouse, so I just put it on top with the monitor when I'm not using it.

When I type, the stand casts shadows that often fall on my keyboard, so I can't see the keys. It may be helpful to use a keyboard with illuminated keys. I normally just pull the keyboard towards me so it's not in the shadow. I could try touch-typing without looking at the keys, but there's only about 4 inches of space underneath the stand, so my hands tend to bump into the underside of the stand.

Big monitor stand! Polished steel looks great. But it's not stable enough when I placed my printer on it, it vibrated a lot when printing...

Love this stand. I purchased it for my LCD TV so I can put my cable box underneath it & save space on my armoire in the bedroom.

I use it as a TV stand placed on a low dresser in my bedroom. This item is built well, generously sized (I have a 42" LCD TV on it with no problems) and also the lift is perfect for putting the cable box underneath the TV. The appearance is utilitarian, not like a fancy piece of furniture. If you have black/dark furniture under it like I do, it will blend in. I don't think it would look nice on top of light wood furniture as a TV stand.
