VIVO Silver Aluminum 16 inch Wide Monitor Riser, Ergonomic Desktop Stand, Modern Tabletop Organizer STAND-V000H

This monitor riser is exactly what I needed. It’s solid, feels like it can hold way more weight than I’ll ever put on it, and the minimalist design blends right into my setup without being bulky or overdesigned. It raises the monitor just enough to make a difference ergonomically, and it has rubber feet underneath so it doesn’t scratch the desk or slide around. Clean look, no wobble, no assembly, just a straightforward, quality piece of gear. It’s one of those “buy it once and forget it” solutions. It works, and that’s all it needed to do.

Time will tell if this will bow under the weight of my 27" iMac; most of the other aluminum risers have a few negative reviews to that effect. I'm not too worried though, as the price was right on this one and I can always wedge an unobtrusive brace under the center if I need to (I don't store my keyboard under it). It looks great, and is perfectly sized for my workspace. What I failed to appreciate when ordering it is the use of the odd gaps on either side. In fact I thought that would be a downside, as the gap takes away a bit of level space on top to put things on. However, my work surface is a built-in affair that has a circular hole at the back through which power cords and the subwoofer cable pass. Without the unique side gaps I'd have to pass those cords up underneath and then behind the riser, which would pinch them between the back edge of the riser and the wall. It works much better to pass the cords and cable up and then through a gap to the various devices. That way I can push the riser right up against the back wall without pinching anything. And I have my external hard drive cables running down from the iMac through the other side's gap. Very clean, very safe. What I though was a bug was a design feature, and a great one.

This is a sturdy, one-piece monitor stand. My 16” MacBook Pro fits neatly underneath, while my monitor, an HP Omen 27”, rests on top. The stand does not flex even though this is a relatively heavy monitor. And the monitor base does not hang off the front or rear edge of the stand (it’s a close fit). I appreciate the small slots on either side of the stand. Unfortunately, when my Mac is sitting on the desk, the base of the stand gets in the way of the ports on the computer. My solution was to place a small riser under the MacBook to elevate the ports, and the cables now just pass through the slots on the stand. Not perfect, but I think the stand would be slightly less stable with four legs, so I appreciate the design and functionality. 5/5

Exactly what I expected. Very pleased with purchase. It raises my Studio Display just high enough so its screen bottom can be seen above the top of an opened MBP M1 14". The finish is not as good as Apple's, of course, but it does harmonize with the aluminum look. My closed MBP 14" or Davinci Micro Color Panel will each slide under the riser when additional desk space is desired.

I purchased two of the VIVO Silver Aluminum Monitor Risers for my Apple Studio Display monitors. I didn't spend the extra $800 for the articulating stand that is an option with the Apple Studio Display and therefore needed a riser to position the monitors at the perfect height. The VIVO Silver Aluminum risers are solid and very durable. They easily hold the weight of each monitor and the color matches the Apple Studio Display as well as Apple mini. If you're looking for a riser that meets the height of the VIVO riser, then I highly recommend the VIVO Aluminum Monitor Riser!

Boy was I wrong. I placed the Mac Studio on it and two small studio-grade speakers. A quality look, perfect manufacture, and great height (not too short and not too high). Love it.

If you want a stand that's built like a tank, this is for you! Solid aluminum casting. However, it measured slightly under 16" and I needed every last millimeter of space to make my laptop work under it, so I had to return it. One other issue that would not have worked for me is the side opening prohibited me from being able to plug in my HDMI cable because the lower rail was a bit too high and it would put the connection at a stressed angle. If this were available in a 20" wide model it would have been perfect.

Good quality
