Our review
Simple Trending's two-tier metal stand adds storage as well as height for a little more than the bare-bones risers. It measures 20 inches wide, 10 deep and 5.8 tall, with a metal-mesh platform, a drawer and two side pen holders.
The bottom tier holds a keyboard, a game console or a cable box, according to the listing, the mesh helps airflow around a laptop, and four suction cups keep the stand in place. Reviewers like the sturdy build, the simple four-bolt assembly, the value and the extra storage on a small desk.
The height is fixed at 5.8 inches, so you cannot fine-tune it, and the listing does not state a weight rating. Stability gets mixed feedback: some say it does not slide around, while others report that the surface bends slightly. Check your monitor's weight before you rely on it.
