I like this notebook stand a lot. It appears well-constructed out of what appears to be aluminum, has rubber linings inside the holder pieces themselves to prevent marring your notebook/laptop and on the bottom to prevent sliding, is highly-adjustable without having to use various sizes of inserts as other products of this nature I've tried in the past require (what a waste of rubber in my opinion), it's sturdy, and looks like it will last basically to infinity.
I use this to hold my 2015 11" MacBook Air that I essentially use as a desktop computer until I need to take it with me somewhere, and it adjusts down to the quite-small size needed to hold it securely in place. This stand can also accommodate much thicker laptops with ease, so if you don't have something as thin and light as a MacBook Air, rest assured you can still use this stand with confidence. Standing upright on the very back of my desk behind the 32" curved monitor I have connected to it instead of lying flat on my desk frees up a considerable amount of workspace, and looks cleaner - which was the whole purpose of buying this stand.
HOWEVER: what I do not like about this stand is that in order to make the adjustment needed to hold your particular brand & size of notebook/laptop, you have to work 4 hex head screws on the BOTTOM of the stand to loosen/tighten after sliding the pieces apart or together to fit. This was not well-considered, especially if anyone has gone through the process of trying to hold the laptop upright in the stand, hold the two sliding pieces together tight enough against the notebook to prevent sliding back, AND trying to screw in the 4 screws all at the same time. This should be a one-person operation (and with a bit of cursing and trying a couple of times to accomplish the goal, I finally got it), but if you want to avoid some frustration, have another person holding the notebook for you while you fiddle with adjusting the stand.
This juggling act could have been avoided if the designer had simply put the locking screws ON TOP of the stand instead of the bottom - but then the aesthetic of smooth, clean pieces of aluminum would be lost, I suppose. All I know is that a small tweak in this stand's design would make it a true cinch to adjust and put into use as opposed to what the process is currently. I deducted a star for this.
Overall, I'm pleased with the stand. It functions well, it looks nice, it's unobtrusive and solidly-built. Considering the options on the market today, I'm pleased I decided to relieve my other stand of its sadly-executed duty and put this particular stand into service. Should I require another one for my other laptop, I will purchase this one again without hesitation.
