The Bearut Wooden Rack offers a natural aesthetic for a gaming setup, utilizing solid pine and walnut-stained finishes instead of common composite materials. Tests show high structural integrity for holding headsets, though the smooth finish of the wood may allow high-gloss controllers to slide if the surface is not completely level. This unit is designed to prioritize a clean, organized desktop appearance for those who prefer a furniture-grade look over plastic alternatives.
Specifications indicate a central load-bearing pillar with a 20mm cross-section, which provides more than enough strength for standard gaming peripherals that typically weigh between 250g and 400g. The U-shaped cradles feature a soft-radius edge intended to help prevent indentations on headset headbands, a common issue with thin metal stands. Because this is crafted from natural wood, the grain pattern will vary between units, and it is best suited for environments where it will remain stationary.
Usage and Assembly Considerations
- Hand-tighten the base screw during assembly to avoid stripping the natural wood threads.
- Adding rubber feet to the base can help increase stability if placed on a desk with high-vibration equipment like racing wheels.
- Ideal for organizing high-end controllers such as the DualSense or Xbox Elite models.
While this model provides a sturdy and attractive base, it does not include built-in clips for managing charging cables. Additionally, users with oversized "aviator" style headsets may find the top arm slightly narrow. Overall, the solid construction helps prevent the tipping often associated with lighter plastic stands, making it a reliable choice for a tidy workspace.
If you prefer a storage solution that can be tailored with a name or specific logo, the personalized wooden headphone and controller stand offers a similar aesthetic with custom engraving options.
