Black metal monitor stand

The HandStands Monitor & Laptop Stand is very strong and durable, and easily holds 15 24 monitors--up to 80 lbs! This Monitor & Laptop Stand helps your computer fit into your life; both in function and in form. It provides a sturdy shelf for your monitor, laptop or printer. The space saving design adds extra storage to your desktop. The space beneath is perfect for your keyboard or other office supplies, and the modern design is also ergonomic. It raises the monitor for optimal viewing, reducing back and neck strain. Its compact base makes it perfect for flat panel monitors and even laptops. The vented platform helps to extend the battery & component life.

Having your monitor at the right height is essential for proper ergonomics. There are a host of laptop stands (such as the Rain Design mStand), but you don’t hear much about stands for external monitors.

I found a great option from the AmazonBasics brand. For only $19.99, you can pickup a silver or a black model. It raises your monitor up over 4″ and can hold up to 40 pounds. I like how it has room under it for things like my keys or coffee cup.

Get it on Amazon for $20.
