KantekLCD Monitor Stand, 18" X 12.5" X 5", Black, Supports 35 Lbs

The stand does it's primary function very well, it holds my monitor. It has a bar on the back that helps wrangle the cords which is a nice feature. The drawers are nice for storage of small-ish items and holds all of my pens, post it notes, paper clips, spare tape and spare staples and does a pretty good job of keeping them organized. The bottom drawer sticks sometimes, and I find that I have to open the top drawer half way, lift it slightly, pull out the bottom drawer, and push the top drawer back in. I have two of these stands and this issue happens on both. I just don't put anything in the bottom that I would want frequent access to. The bottom drawer also has notches in it so that you can put your keyboard in it and have an angled keyboard. I personally don't use this feature as I can't imagine anyone typing at such an awkward angle but it's there!

OK. Not real sure how to be "Glowing" about a device to keep your monitor off of the table.It keeps my monitor off of the table, and raises it up to about eye level.The drawers hold my stuff. The bottom one has my big magnifying glass and some glasses cleaner. I think I have a couple of colored pencils in there, too. The top one has more stuff in it. Staple refills, .5mm HB mechanical pencil lead, a spare roll of tape (1/2" wide, if it matters). Also has my spare mechanical pencil, a few erasers, and some finger cots.Since my monitor base doesn't cover the whole top of the stand, that's where I keep my stapler, tape dispenser and tooth picks. I sometimes use the top for temporary storage when I need to get something off of my desktop.All-in-all a very handy device.Kindest regards***Update 06/2013***I found another function!!! If you open one of the drawers part way, you can tilt your keyboard up in it to create room on the desktop!! Neato-cool! Now if it would hold my trackball, too.....

I purchased this stand for the size, sleek design, & drawer options. The grade of plastic isnt flexible, but its thick enough to be modestly durable. Not the best grade of plastic though. The upper tray has a slot for pens. Each drawer is a nice size, capable of holding stacks of standard paper. Each drawer also has square slots for paper clips or other small objects. I use it as a stand for my desktop printer. All in all, for the price its a solid desk organizing unit for whichever use you prefer.

I have had plenty of different monitor but these are the first to have drawers instead of just an open space below the stand and that increases the amount of storage capacity at your desk. This is big enough for a 30" monitor with room to spare and seems more than strong enough for its intended use (I wouldn't try standing on these).

This is an inexpensive way to get all that small stuff put away.The two drawers hold a lot of stuff: CD's, Templates, Rulers, Pens, Notepads, Etc. that justjunk up your desk drawer.I have it in my garage with a 17" Acer monitor on top which leaves room for the full sizedkeyboard to sit on the stand, right in front of the monitor (out of the way).I can finally get to things that I use all the time in my desk drawer, and everything is putaway out of the paint and dust of a garage environment.

Once again, typical thrown together plastic junk to sell and forget about all the way to the bank. The bottom drawer drags the desk top when you open it so I had to raise the side supports to aid that problem. The drawers still drag as plastic on plastic is seldom smooth enough. A little silicone helped. A really good idea and I would have paid more for a little quality but as is, it's worth about half what it cost.

I would have given it 3.5 stars... Monitor stand works well and top drawer is handy. The lower drawer less useful as usually keyboard, mouse and other items on desk are in the way. Plastic is cheap looking but it does a good job of elevating my large monitor and the monitor is very sturdy. The stand is an excellent value for the price.

I would have liked about another inch of depth on the top. The base on my monitor comes over the little tray just a tiny bit. The drawers function, but they do stick a little. Certainly not enough to complain.

This was on sale when I bought it. I wouldn't pay much past $15 for this stand, but it was reasonable at that price. The doors stick a little, and there are these odd metal handles at the back that aren't in the provided picture, but it's a good height, nice and wide, and doesn't wobble.
