Matches perfectly with my keyboard and Mac. Definitely helps to be comfortable and on a good posture, no more sore back
I like the stability and flexibility of this product. Easy to use and great for working from home. I’ve had some on the past that we’re not as flexible and some that broke due to a lack of durability. This one is very sturdy and you can move it to different angles and height.
It’s a solid stand that does not move when you don’t want it to. Yes you have to use both hands to move it but I would rather that than my 16″ MacBook crashing to the desk!
I have ordered several of these for our team and found them to be a really good product.
I purchased this because I have a heavy duty 17″ laptop and the stand is not only proving sufficiently study to support it (my main reason for purchasing) but I’ve noticed that it improves airflow so well that my laptop fan doesn’t need to activate anywhere as much as it used to in order to cool the processor down.
Good product, well made. I don’t agree with other reviews that the stand is ‘too stiff’ to adjust. I have no issues and if it were more flexible then it simply wouldn’t be suited to large, heavy laptops.
This is a great stand for the laptop – best I’ve ever used. (There is just one tiny niggle, which is that I wish it had a notch on the platform part between the two raised edges where the laptop rests. Then I could pick up the laptop with one hand.)
Sturdy stand which supports Lenovo work laptop. As others have mentioned it can be stiff to move, but I guess this is by design as the stand feels solid and supports the laptop well. Would recommend
Rock solid, quality machining and fully adjustable. I bought 2 in the end!
Easy to adjust and maintain at the height and angle you can ewuire
Excellent build quality and looks fantastic. The hinges are very stiff and the hooks don’t get in the way when typing. My 17.5 inch laptop feels very secure and stable even when using the laptop keyboard.
Very pleased with the stand.
Useful and highly ergonomic. there is not a single negative point about this item
Lots of options on the market, guided by previous positive reviews and not disappointed.
Perfect, really simple design. Work purchased a ton and I went out and got a second for my personal laptop.
I’m using this for my iPad Pro and it’s Awesome!
I saw one of these being used by a grandchild, and decided to buy one for myself. I have regular Zoom or Teams meetings, and have been putting my laptop on a pile of books to get the camera in the correct position. With this stand, I can easily have the laptop at the correct height, and it is still easy to type on the keyboard if I need to.
Spent ages trawling through Amazon for a decent portable screen stand as I need 2 screens for my laptop and not a stand that just points the screen at my chest. Even searching pictures on Google didn’t produce what I needed as portability was essential. Amazingly there were no pictures of this stand fully raised up as a monitor stand, but just any amount in a laptop stand configuration. Admittedly a bit of the stand pokes up above this 15inch widescreen and I certainly recommend a bit of velcro attaching monitor to stand and another from table to stand if you’re going to open the stand as extremely wide and high as this, but I’m well pleased with this solution.
Look: Sleek and modern
Function: Adjustable tilt angle, and sturdy
Value: Very good.
Definitely recommend getting one!
Does what it’s said to do, Little on the expensive side but great quality and very sturdy!!
Very easy to adjust height. Laptop (17″) fitted on it and felt secure and stable.
Brilliant stand. Bit expensive but so glad I spent a bit extra and bought this one. Very strong and robust. Will last a very long time in my opinion. You can adjust height and angle to suit you. Immediately improves your posture compared to using the laptop on a flat surface. If using in a dual screen set up you can adjust height perfectly to match your second monitor. Excellent buy!
It is very good and is ideal for my laptop.
This is truly a beautiful product. really stable, tidy and folds up compactly. Highly recommended!
Very strong (made of steel), which supports my Laptop in the position I want it, without any problems. Looks good as well. I would recommend it.
I like the sturdiness of the stand.it is a very handy item.
Easy to use. Stays in place once positioned. Easy to change the position too. Sturdy. Some comments I read criticised the logo – can’t see anything wrong with it, why shouldn’t they put their logo on?! Entire product looks very good and very professional.
It’s very sturdy and stable. The only thing missing is that it does not go high enough to work standing comfortably, if you try, it will become a bit unbalanced.
I for one am guilty of hunching over a laptop and then wondering why my shoulders are aching. Working from home the only person assessing my “work station” is me and this was long overdue. Immediate difference in my posture using this so my laptop is raised – I then added a bluetooth keyboard at desk height so my working position is far better than it was. This is a great quality product, lightweight and looks sleek. I’ve not had it long so can’t comment on the durability (there are no locking screws to maintain height). So far so good, very pleased with this purchase, which actually, now I am sitting better is making me more productive!
I loved it so much that I bought two one for my son and the second one for my daughter.
Pleased with this stand which is well-made, good quality.
Works really well for me. Stable in operation and in use. Just what’s required.
Doubt I would ever need to replace item, as it’s really sturdy and nicely designed.
I would happily recommend.
My partner had this stand and i wanted the same. However careful with the size. This model is for by laptops (15″).
Look at a smaller version if you have a 13″
Absolutely love this stand. My friend bought one for me, I loved it so much that when it was her birthday I bought one for he
Good strong and sturdy laptop stand, does exactly as advertised
This desk stand is very high quality, very strong and sturday, can be adjusted which is very useful if you want to stand up and work
Also the customer service is fantastic, very quick dispatch and delivery as well
This is great, it’s strong yet light. It doesn’t slowly slide out of position, it stays put at the angle you adjust it to. Made of strong metal and a stylish design. Money well spent. What I’d recommend you do is buy a cordless USB keyboard to use with it, and have the screen at a good eye-level height.
Just upgraded my laptop and wanted this instead of using books to raise the height for video calls etc. This is ideal and provides the solution I was looking for. Would recommended for those looking to do the same.
I was going to get a cheaper stand but decided to get one that was sturdy and adjustable. The reviews were good so I got this one.
It is sturdy, fairly weighty and importantly, it’s adjustable. The first time I raised it and put the laptop on it was a bit wobbly. However I realised adjusting it by one side at a time made it unbalanced. Raising it from the middle stopped that. I would say though that if you are using the laptop keyboard, it does feel like the laptop will tip the stand backwards when standing. I use a separate keyboard and mouse so this doesn’t really affect me.
In all though it’s a good stand and will fit in a bag to use on the go.
Made from quality materials, sturdy and stable. It’s so stable that it’s actually quite difficult to adjust the height and angles. Not really an issue for me and it reassures me that the stand won’t collapse given time or under the weight of the laptop. Wouldn’t be ideal for anyone with grip or strength issues however.
Very pleased with this well made unit. All the edges are smooth. It has thin rubber padding in all the right places. It is also quite stiff at the joints, so no chance of it collapsing under the weight. It is also one of the few available in different colours, which was important for me as I wanted a black one.
This has proved a very good purchase. I use it with the MacBook 16″ (2021) and the build quality and design are appropriately fine. The height can be changed to suit but will not sink or slip by itself. I’ve now bought another for a friend!
The look and feel of this stand is premium and the brushed aluminium effect resembles that of an Apple product. The adjustable height and space to place a keyboard when the stand is erect make the whole desk area look clean. Overall very happy and would recommend.
I have been using it for 2 months whilst working from home and it’s very good. Nice and easy to store away and travel with too!
It’s been a while I saw a product have so many good reviews AND the are all correct. This is easily the best-quality stand out there.
As if that wasn’t enough the sent me a one-time, complimentary wireless keyboard (yes, free).
I don’t usually write reviews but I was blown away by the product and the seller. Will buy again, you should too.
I didn’t realise how much i needed this till I had it. It’s a bit stiff to move but then compensated by how sturdy it is. I have no fear of it falling or anything and the colour is nice and it looks decent quality. I can adjust it just as need. No issue so fa
Great product that I am overall happy with. As other people mentioned, this is a very stiff and hard to adjust product. The good side of this is that it stays put, the bad side of course that It doesn’t change adjustments easily.
I use this for reading my book as well as for my i-pad. A very versatile item and good value
I thought I may as well get a stand like this so that I could use both the laptop screen and my main monitor when needed and it puts the laptop screen at a much more neck friendly height. I use an external keyboard so this works.
I liked that colours other than Apple silver were available since my laptop is grey. It’s not a perfect match of course, but looks pretty OK.
The stand is really well made (I’m an engineer by background and quite fussy). It’s fairly simple cut and bent aluminium alloy, but the arms/struts are nicely milled. There are no sharp or rough edges and the paint finish is good with a very slight hammered look.
Rubber pads are present on the main plate which goes underneath your laptop and on the lips which stick up at the front to hold it. Laptop goes on easily and feels very secure.
I don’t know what type of pivots they use on the arms/struts. I’m not going to be opening closing mine much so longevity of these is not a concern. They are very stiff which is perfect for my use, but not so great if you were planning to take this places with you a lot.
Could do with the logo being less prominent , but that’s about the only downside I can find.
FWIW, I have also bought a powered USB hub (Sabrent) with loads of ports to attach all my peripherals and then I have two USB 3.0 cables. One for the laptop, one for the desktop, so it’s easy to swap between the two and have all peripherals swapped from one PC to the other.
I was so impressed with the first one that I purchased a second my other laptop 🙂
One laptop is a fairly beefy 15 inch laptop and the other is a tiny 13 inch ultrabook. The stand works equally well for both and allows me to position both exactly how I needed them.
No signs at all of sagging. Top marks.
It was cheap, so I expected cheap. I didn’t expect quality and strength. It raised as high as I expected, it’s sturdy and strong and everything I thought it would have been.
What I didn’t expect is the customer service, checking in and making sure everything was okay. Full warranty, and great service. I’m definitely looking for this supplier again as I kit my office.
Much sturdier than anticipated, especially given the flexibility. Holds a Macbook Pro 16 in place well despite the laptop being much wider than the stand, and the rubbery grips ensure it doesn’t slide around at all. Also like the shape of the legs allowing you to thread cables through. Although note that if your desk wobbles even slightly, this will be amplified tenfold on your laptop screen with every small shake, tap, or footsteps on creaky floorboards.
This is the second time I’ve bought a stand, as the first was too short. I am 5’6″ so this is perfect. This one is very adjustable and takes up little space, allowing me to work with the small desk I have. I’m very pleased with it! It seems sturdy and almost perfectly matches the rose gold MacBook Air I have. One complaint would be the visible company logo in large letters as it takes away from tue aesthetic. Smaller font on the underside would be preferred.
Pros:
+ Sturdy
+ Fashionable
+ Does Not Wobble
+ Can bear weight easily
+ Looks and feels professional
Cons:
– Somewhat difficult to adjust; my partner had a hard time with it
– If the adjustment loosens or gets weak there is no was to manually fix it
– it is bulky – you wont want to travel with this- it is a little larger than a macbook 13 in
Bottom Line: This could be good- a sturdy stand that allows you to adjust with no grooves or notches- but should the tension that keeps the adjustment strong start to fail there would be no way to fix it- its also bulky to the point where you wouldn’t want to take it with you anywhere.
I purchased this lap top stand to free up space on my desk and to allow me to take between home and the office.
First impressions are great. Looks great, stylish, feels robust and looks pretty neat.
I can fold it down and it fits in my laptop bag with the laptop. It may feel a bit bulky in the bag but definitely worth being able to take between home and office so easily.
It is very sturdy and stiff when folding out to desired position and back down again, I suppose it needs to be to avoid having tightening bolts.
Overall I am pretty pleased with this stand so far.
Of the many different stands available, this one stands out from the crowd and an added bonus is that it folds flat with minimum weight for easy transport.
I would thoroughly recommend this product and am looking forward to many years of use.
Perfect laptop stand, especially since I am having to work from home full time just now. As I’m quite tall, I was finding the laptop being on a table made me hunch over which isn’t good for posture.
I bought this and a new chair and I’m feeling much better for it. The laptop stand moves easily whilst being sturdy enough to hold your laptop at a height.
Very handy and easy to tidy away at the end of the working week.
I am really pleased with this product.
It is lightweight and yet sturdy, I can angle it so my laptop is in exactly the right position for my eyes.
It has plenty of space underneath so takes up minimal space on my desk and I can fold it away when not needed.
As well as using it for office work, I have found it very useful when on zoom calls for chatting with friends or singing so that I can look straight forward and do not strain my neck.
Would definitely recommend.
The title says it all – plus: Sturdy joints. Highly adjustable height/angle.
Really impressed (I am not easily impressed). The engineering is quite amazing: so sturdy and precise. Stable. Infinitely variable joints. Easily supports 17 inch laptop. Good air-flow. Solid metal (potentially good heat dissipation?!)
Cannot say any more than that really! I now want to buy a laptop… so that I too, just HAVE to get one of these stands!
I got the BoYata laptop stand to improve posture and help neck pain/stiffness from looking down at a laptop screen for hours. This is a game changer. With the BoYata stand and a wireless keyboard, I have a whole new ergonomical set-up so that I am sitting straight and the top of the screen is at eye level. The BoYata stand is high quality, elegant and matches my silver Mac laptop perfectly. It is stiff to move such that once it is in the perfect position there is no risk of it shifting position or collapsing. I leave it set up all the time as it doesn’t take up any more desk space than the laptop itself, and the separate keyboard fits perfectly in the gap underneath. Very pleased!
I was especially pleased with the height of the hooks at the front, they extend upwards approx. 2cm from the base, rather than the 1.5 cm height specified by a lot of other similar products. This is important, as my laptop as an upward curved profile along its front edge and so could possibly slip over the hooks if they were not quite tall enough. No danger of that here.
I also like the silicone padded surfaces which not only act as anti-slip support, but also prevent the laptop from being scratched.
Excellent overall.
We were prepared to buy a wifi keyboard but there is no need as this stand isn’t wobbling when my daughter is typing, which is brilliant, especially considering the amount of typing she’s doing during lockdown. Its a massive improvement on the old one and so much more comfortable for her wrists and back.
Its a big thumbs up from us
The base does take up some desk real estate but it’s not too thick so you can still have things stored on the base underneath the laptop (e.g. books or stationary).
There are pads on the stand and the bits holding the laptop on that stop any potential scratches which is good given the all metal design.
I use this with my 2.5Kg razor 15 laptop and have no issues with it sagging or moving. In fact its so stiff I take my laptop off the stand to adjust the angle or height. I fear if i attempt to adjust the height with the laptop on, I’ll break my laptop with the ammount of force i need to apply.
This is good thing if you wish to adjust it and leave it on a specific position (as I do), as it will never move.
If you need to adjust the angle and position all the time, be aware that you will likely not be able to do this easily with the laptop still on the stand.
I’ve been using this stand for 6m now (since the start of covid-19 lock down) and I love it. It is well designed, solid & stable. I use it with separate keyboard. The purpose for me is to raise the laptop screen to eye level alongside my other standalone screen. It does this perfectly, it means that I am looking forward rather than down, and it has resolved my regular neck pains. And I love its aesthetics, it is elegant and beautiful to look at. Yes it is a bit stiff to change the orientation, but thats the point – you don’t want it to move around on its own.
1 It’s a little bit awkward if one wants to use the laptop’s keyboard – the little lugs which stop the lap top from sliding down are just bit too prominent and get slightly in the way. So if you plan to do a lot of. typing you’ll need a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad.
2. It IS , as others have said, very very stiff to open and adjust. I realise it has to be because that’s what keeps it in place even if you lean on it to type I’ve got it set up pretty much as it will be for a while. I also wonder whether the friction which holds it in place will fade if one keeps adjusting it. BUT IF you plan to keep moving it or adjusting it then you might want to explore other products (other makes use keys and/or ratchets to keep the platforms at the correct angle).

It is so sturdy and because the platform is lifted away from the base, you have room under your laptop to store items or just have a feeling of more space. I love it!
When I had to start using a work laptop from home I needed to get the laptop screen to the same height as the separate monitor. None of the stands I could get from work could do that unless I stood them on a pile of books. This stand is perfect in that is is strong, easily adjusted and safely holds the laptop so the screen is exactly the same height as the monitor. There is plenty of space underneath for placing the keyboard when working with paper, airflow is great. I’m very pleased indeed.
Pros:
Exceptionally well built
Heavy but not too heavy, doesn’t feel flimsy at all
Very stiff, when you move it into the positon you need, it’s not going to move
Cons:
Honestly at a stretch, the only con I can think of is that the logo on the base looks a little tacky but it’s relatively subtle so won’t really be an issue. If it had an Apple logo on it, it would be 10x the price but the same build quality!
I’ll be buying a 3rd when they are on offer again for sure.
So I did lots of research and saw that many stands looked flimsy, unaesthetic, and not sturdy. The Boyata that I ordered from Amazon arrived within two days: amazing speedy delivery. It’s superb! It matches the look of my MacBook Air very well. It has great ventilation at the back to prevent overheating. It oozes sturdiness (you could use it as a weapon to knock someone out!) and looks good on the desk. The brand logo is etched on the front; some reviewers have complained about its prominence, but I”m led to wonder if they complain about an Apple logo; I have no problem with it, and maybe people just need to get over seeing a foreign sounding name on a product.
But most importantly, it does what it is designed to do: to support a laptop at a designated height. As other reviewers have pointed out, the friction joints are stiff, but they need to be so that, once set to chosen height, there is no risk of accidental movement or sagging. One point to note as a result, and, again, others are right to point this out, is that once you have it set just leave it on the desk for the next time you use it; don’t fold it away. It certainly CAN be folded away, but it’s then going to take longer to unfold it and to re-locate your ideal position.
Regarding ideal position of adjustment, I have found that the stand doesn’t need to be anywhere as high as you initially might think. The bottom arm is bette placed as close to horizontal as possible for you; that way, there is no risk of the weight of your laptop tipping the stand over backwards.
If you buy this stand, it comes with a card that allows you to register for an extra one year’s warranty (making it two years in total), which is clearly a good thing. I am assuming that the manufacturer will support the item in all meaningful ways.
Going forward, there are two things that the desingners might want to consider in tweaking the design. One is to maybe make the joints accessible by the user so that they can be tightened (if necessary) over the long term. The second, and one that I consider more important, is that I think the front edge should be an upwards ledge so that there is no risk of one’s laptop ever sliding forward: this hasn’t happened to me, but I can see that (if one were in a rush) it could: an upsweeping lip would prevent this. I hope this constructive feedback will be taken on board.
Overall, I cannot think of a better laptop stand that I could have found to allow me to use my laptop on my desk., so I recommend this product without qualification.
Needed something for laptop as the fan was getting a bit overheated. I have a separate screen that I use so this really is just to rest my laptop on. It’s sturdy and is easy to move up and down. Not too big or in the way. I can see how it is easy to use directly- ie type on the laptop keyboard- so might try that if I need the big screen out of the way. A bit of the pricey side if you compare it with others but I prefer something that is good quality and this looks to be it. Also read many reviews – of this make and others – and happy with purchasing this one.
After working remotely for many weeks I have to say this has been a revelation. No more sore back/neck after constantly peering down for Zoom/Teams meetings. I’ve paired this with a nice wireless keyboard and mouse and my setup looks and functions great.
The unit itself is very adjustable so imagine it’s quite forgiving regardless of your desk and chair height. The arms are quite stiff but this lends to the stability. The unit firmly holds my laptop (MacBook pro 2019 13″) with no wobbles and allows a perfect viewing angle for VCs and touch typing.
Best money I’ve spent for my home office yet.
I bought this to use with my Dell XPS 15 9570 laptop. I have recently bought a 27″ monitor and required a stand for my laptop so I could essentially use my laptop as a second monitor.
So far, so good. It’s sturdy, stable and well finished. The rubber pads attached to the brackets protect my laptop from scratches. The stands’ hinges are stiff, which I feel is a good thing as once I have the laptop screen in position it doesn’t move. If the price point was lower I would give it 5 stars. Since it’s 50 i feel it’s a little pricey.
However, in my experience you generally get what you pay for.
This feels like a very strong, sturdy and high quality product. As far as I’m concerned it justifies the price as a premium product.
I was expecting some form of tightening bolt/clamp to adjust the angles, but it seems the joints are stiff enough that after you have pushed them into place they stay put. I hope that they maintain that strength over time, as at the moment it’s holiding my laptop up perfectly. The lip at the front to stop the laptop sliding off seems a good height and is doing the job as it should.
I really like this, it is sturdy, stable, strong and looks good. Because it is so sturdy and made from metal, it is not lightweight. If you need something lightweight then this is not the product for you, but personally that is not an issue because I don’t want to carry this around with my laptop anyway – it is for sitting on my desk for when I’m working on my laptop in my usual location. Would gladly recommend.
The platform is deep enough to support a 15″ Microsoft Surfacebook with no risk of it tipping backwards and has some nice soft pads to cushion the underside of your laptop. The base of the unit also has pads to avoid scratching your desk and is big enough to provide a stable platform.
Only thing I really dislike is that the company name (BoYata) is laser etched on the leading edge of the base, which makes the whole thing look a bit cheap, which is a shame as it’s a great product other than that. This and the relatively high cost loses it a star, but overall a recommended product.
My immediate impression was that it could be an Apple product if not for the large white BoYata logo on the base plate. In fact, that logo is the only criticism I have of the product – I’d prefer it to be embossed somewhere more subtle than dominating the front of the product.
The mechanism is quite stiff and requires some effort to reposition the arms, but it certainly feels like it can hold a lot of weight without moving out of position. The Grey colour is a great match for my Space Grey Macbook Pro.
I have to say it’s better than I expected, and the reviews I read before buying were all very positive.
The size is perfect and it supports my 17inch HP zbook well. Infact, it can hold heavier laptops with no problem.
I like that it is sturdy and you have to apply a bit of pressure to adjust the height. This means that it does not easily ‘fall’ out of place and stays in the position you needed. However, I have attempted to change the position whilst my laptop as on the stand and did not have a problem doing so. Once you know the amount of pressure to use it is quite easy. I just might order another on for my monitor.
Fantastic laptop riser / stand. The stand is entirely made of aluminium – which looks excellent and is very sturdy. The joints of the stand require some force to adjust but are firmly in place when adjusted – no screen wobble when typing. The range of adjustment is very good too, I imagine it would suit people of any height.
There are soft silicon pads on all surfaces which touch the laptop and on the bottom – so no chance of scratching aluminium laptops or the work surface.
Fits our 13″ and 15″ laptops perfectly.
This is a massive improvement on the plastic Kensington laptop riser – better adjustment range, sturdiness and looks. Would thoroughly recommend.
A wonderful little device!!!
If folds up nicely, highest quality materials, very strong, don’t imagine this ever breaking!
It really is just right for the job.
A warning would be: don’t knock it back. While it’s super sturdy, if you think about it… A heavy laptop could only be held down on such a high platform if its base was heavier than it! That’s just science! So… basically, at higher height, it may tip back if knocked. So I’d keep something behind it or adjust angle or laptop until it’s balanced and virtually cannot fall!
But that’s no testament to the product! The product is top of its kind and I’d recommend to all. The lightness and portability make this great for everyday use! Just grab a wireless keyboard and mouse (pref. Rechargeable) and your off to go!
Brings the screen up, leaving lots of room underneath to store your keyboard.
I would say once you find your height just leave it, don’t know how well it would cope with constant adjustments.
It lost a star, just because of the stiffness of setting up, but it does what it does well. Looks good,
Could easily handle a bigger laptop than a MacBook Pro (thunderbolt 3) 15″ model.
Worked fine with also a 2012 15″ MacBook Pro retina and a 2013 13″ MacBook Pro retina.
Neither the 13″ or 15″ cover the whole stand.
This BoYata stand is excellent quality and I’d say it wouldn’t be out of place in the apple store itself – but then it would cost well over 100! in all seriousness, the tightness of the hinges is just right and the adjustability is perfect meaning you can easily get the perfect height and perfect tilt for any situation. The top deck has neoprene pads so at no point is the MacBook metal to metal meaning you don’t need to worry.
The colour of it is really similar to the standard apple aluminium finish, my MacBook is finished in space grey, but it still looks great on the stand.
Ive already had a few compliments on co workers who’ve noticed it!
A first class product that for what I paid seems to be too cheap! Its a quality product, similar to Apple quality for next to nothing. Don’t waste your time on other stands, this is brilliant!
The laptop fits perfectly safely on the stand and stays cool, so reasons 1) and 2) are both catered for.
Why did I buy the stand in the first place? Again, 2 reasons: 1) Because I needed my laptop screen more at eye level to prevent me having to tip my head back to see through the bottom half of my varifocal glasses, and subsequently suffering from a stiff neck and shoulders. 2) I wanted a standard keyboard because the Toshiba laptop one is not angled correctly for me, and is quite unresponsive unless you bash the keys. As a touch typist, I need a keyboard that instantly responds to a light and very fast touch. Only having very limited desk space meant I had no room for another keyboard.
By buying the stand I achieved both points. See photos showing the standard Microsoft keyboard tucked away under the laptop, freeing up desk space for writing etc., and pulled forward to type with.
The stand takes a bit of muscle power to get to the correct height, but once there, it doesn’t move and not having to fiddle with adjusting screws or knobs is a bonus.
The stand is solidly made of an attractive silver matt finished metal, with stoppers in the front to prevent the laptop sliding off, with rubber pads on them to protect the edge of the laptop. There are also 4 rubber (or silicone) pads on the platform to add secure grip to the laptop.
As this particular stand was only released recently, I pre0ordered it, but it still arrived earlier than the estimated date, extremely well packaged.
I would definitely recommend this stand.
Highly recommended.
