Great monitor stand. We moved our computer into another one of our bedrooms and were using a smaller desk so I wanted some way to raise the monitor (actually a TV/monitor that I have had for a while) to allow me to place the mini mac computer and the external DVD drive under the stand to get more working space on the desktop. I didn't want to spend a lot but also wanted something practical and good looking. I also wanted a stand wide enough to allow me to fit my keyboard under it if I wanted more space on the desk, plus the TV/monitor I am using is wide as well so I wanted to ensure it was fully supported. This stand from Satechi fits the bill perfectly without being overly expensive. There is a black/gray stand available but costs $5 more.
The stand arrived in the original packaging, not inside another box which was surprising, but I could not see any outward damage to the box and the stand was not damaged in any way. The pictures show the stand and the various views as I put it together. The directions are printed on the bottom of the box.
The only issue I had was putting the aluminum legs on the stand. Installing the leg required me to push a little harder on the legs and monitor to get them to go into the folding mounting brackets. You have to put the aluminum legs on because the mounting brackets would fold up if the extensions are no used, however if you want the monitor stand height lower, then you would leave the brackets for the legs folded and inset the aluminum parts into the base of the stand rather than the extensions. The bottom of the stand is 3.25 inches from the desktop, and the surface is 4.1 inches from the desktop. I am not sure what the stand height would be if the aluminum legs were inserted into the base of the stand rather that the folding leg extensions.
The monitor also included connections for mic and headphones as well as 4 additional USB ports. The ports are USB 2.0 (would liked to have 3.0) but that is fine since I plan to use the USB ports on the stand for things like attaching cameras or micro-drives. The extra speed isn't really required.
The wire for the front USB ports runs from a depression underneath the stop surface. It includes the USB connection wire which is hard mounted and a set of connectors for the mic and headphones. These can be routed through a slot that keeps the wires out of the way and makes for a clean looking installation.
So far I am very satisfied with the way the stand works and the space I recover from being able to fit my mini and DVD drive under the stand itself. I also have a couple of docking stations for a few hard drives I use for other thing and if I were to get another in the future, I would get a horizontal docking station that I could also fit under the stand.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the quality of the stand as well as how it looks. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a similar stand. If anything changes down the line, I will amend this evaluation but so far it meets all my requirements.
