This laptop stand was recommended to me to help with my sitting posture while using my laptop computer at my desk. I'm able to position my laptop screen to a better eye level that assists in reducing back strain, hunched over shoulders, and neck strain from sitting at my work desk too long.

This is a very sturdy stand. Some people might have a problem with opening and closing it, that is not a one-hand operation. It is pretty tight. Which I suppose is one of the keys to being sturdy. Set it as you want it, and it will stay there unless you REALLY want it to move! I like that for my 17" laptop, as I leave the stand in one place. What I DON'T like; and will have to either modify or get rid of the stand... The lip on the front. That is fairly shallow. My current laptop has a beveled front edge that only engages that lip at the very top. Just barely. To keep the computer from sliding off the front of the stand. For most people, with the computer fairly flat, it would be quite enough. But I use the computer almost full open, with the keyboard at a pretty steep angle. Over 45 degrees for sure. Perhaps 60. And at my steep angle, it only takes the slightest nudge to bet the computer up over that lip, so that it comes crashing forward onto either your lap, or the floor. I can understand why they made it as they did. It is fine for most people, and for holding the computer in the most normal way. And to make it higher might risk the lip itself getting in your way at the front of the machine. But another quarter inch would change this from an almost unusable product (for me alone) to one that would get all 5s and have me singing its praises. As it is, I either need to add some height to the front (perhaps a little piece of angle iron and some "JB Weld"?) or some supplemental restraint (perhaps a cord holding the hinge part of the computer to the stand) - but this makes mounting and dismounting the computer a little more difficult. Perhaps not too bad. Time will tell. I am sure I am using this product just ever so slightly out of its test parameters. But just another quarter inch on the front lip would be a wonderful thing!

perfect! just what I needed!

Running out of flat surface space because you keep buying new synths and effects? I feel ya. These things *could* help you with that situation. Totally sturdy enough for playing unless you tend to REALLY lean into your music like you're performing in front of a huge crowd and trying to add some theatrical energy [Please don't do that ha ha.] I bought one these to raise up my Arturia MicroFreak a bit above the back of my minilogue XD. That side of my desk is getting crowded, and I wanted easier access to the MF. Once I set it up, I realized that I could create even more space on my desk if I got another for the XD. Now they are both floating above, creating some space for cables, a notebook, whatever on the actual desk surface. And they're completely stable, for my playing style. Just a tad bit of wobble, but nothing that affects my playing in any way. Granted, these are both quite small models in the synth world, so keep that in mind: it's only capable of smaller form factors. But, this item was on sale when I tried it and it was a cheaper and probably better/more flexible solution than some of the modular metal style options that were built for this very purpose. TLDR: As long as you aren't the type of player that slams and smashes on their synths while playing AND you need risers for smaller form-factor devices, like most effects/stomp-boxes + "mini" synths, this could work as a great solution for making your recording studio more space efficient and reclaim some of that flat-surface!
