Review
This stand, from Chinese company RIWUCT, has been a solid part of my traveling coffice for the past year. It has no problem holding my 13” Macbook Pro and feels like it could handle quite a bit more. There’s a slight wiggle if you jostle the table, but it settles within a second and I’ve rarely noticed it (except now right now because I’m paying attention to it 😅).
The height range is good, capable of elevating 18 cm / 7 in. I find that it brings my laptop to a comfortable height on most tables, although it admittedly is not quite eye-level at some tables I work from.
I like that it folds flat enough to fit in a side pocket of my bag, though it does feel like a few tweaks to the design could have slimmed the folded profile down a bit. A little bit of paint has chipped from the regular abuse I give it. It’s not bad, but if I were to get it again I’d probably get the silver model since it is likely unpainted (though I can’t confirm).
Conclusion
Simple and straight-forward, this stand is an easy and cheap way to get your coffice started.
