As with most things 3m makes, this is a good product. These aren’t fancy. They aren’t made of Adamantium or Mahogany. Thats not to say they look terrible, but they were not made with appearance as the first consideration. Many products are made that way, which is why products like this stand out. Those products are designed to do a job related to aesthetics. This is designed to do a job related to monitor height. Which is why this is a better product if what you want to be able to do is adjust the height of your monitor.It comes with a black base, and 4 ‘legs’. Each leg is itself comprised of three stackable pieces. Each stackable piece adds around 2 inches to the height of the stand. For instance, I currently have one piece for each leg. Where the stand meets the monitor base is about 2 and a half inches from the table. I haven’t tried just putting the stand tray on the table without any legs, but it looks like that would sit as flat as the table its on would allow.So maybe the only thing to note is that because the pieces are 2″ each, that is what increments you can adjust in. This doesn’t have really granular fine tuned adjustments. But you’re paying $30. That doesn’t buy mechanics or gears or whatever that will do that job and hold up for years.As said above, it’s not made of any premium or fancy material, but it does seem sturdy. Not a perfect analogy material or construction wise, but think about legos. You can stack those, pull them apart, kick them around, and step on them for years without making a mark. I expect these will maintain their form and function for years. The plastic won’t bend or change shape. Nothing will sag or become uneven. The pieces will fit together smoothly as long as you dont actively try to alter points where they meet.As an added bonus, from the inside of one leg to the inside of the other leg is around 10 or 11 inches, so even if it isn’t an ideal storage spot, it returns some extra desk room of sorts.I bought two of these larger stands for my two 23″ monitors to be sure the stand was big enough. It turns out I shouldn’t have been concerned. There is several inches of tray on either side of the monitors base. Anything that will accidentally knock them off these stands, would knock them off of anything. They aren’t even close to hanging over the edges.
