The Amazon Basics Adjustable Riser is a straightforward, functional tool for elevating a laptop or small monitor. It uses a stackable column system that allows you to choose the height that feels most comfortable for your eye level. The 11 by 16-inch platform is made of reinforced plastic, and the unit includes a small pull-out drawer for storing pens, sticky notes, or charging cables. Specifications indicate that this stand is best suited for equipment weighing up to 15 lbs to ensure the legs remain perfectly upright over time.
The legs use a friction-fit design, which means they are easy to assemble by simply snapping them together without tools. This makes it a practical choice for a quick home office setup. However, because it is made of lightweight plastic, the stand may feel less stable if it is bumped or placed on an uneven surface. Integrated notches on the sides are helpful for keeping messy cords organized and preventing them from tangling behind the desk.
To keep the drawer sliding smoothly, avoid placing heavy weights that exceed the recommended limit, as the platform may flex and cause the drawer to stick.
If your setup requires a more permanent and heat-resistant material, the Suptek Vented Metal Riser provides a sturdier alternative with better airflow. View more organizational tools for your workspace in our desktop shelf risers collection.
