I was looking for a compact, mobile platform to put the guts of my home studio, a PA amp and mixer. I had a 4 computer desk, but got rid of the laptop, monitors, etc. in favor of recording to an iPad. So, I wanted something smaller that I could move around if needed.
I bought this after reading many reviews of various laptop stands. I liked the size and the ability to lower and raise the top laptop shelf. This unit more than met my expectations. It was easy to assemble, although having a power screw driver helped a lot. I agree with other reviewers that some of the holes werent punched out, but all the pieces lined up fine on mine. I also like the size and depth of the book shelf on the bottom. I keep music, reference books and anything else I can cram into the space.
Other reviewers have also mentioned that it doesnt roll well on carpet. The casters lock, and they were all shipped in the locked position. Once I unlocked them, I didnt have any problem. I have the top shelf pretty high, and it seems like the unit can get top heavy.
Im sure this stand will last for quite a while. Its sturdy when assembled. the only thing that could be improved somehow is the height adjustment. There are knobs on each side that must be loosened to readjust the top shelf and then re/tightened. This is difficult with heavy objects on the shelf.
Great for home recording gear
