Provides a unique amount of flexibility in terms of height & angle adjustment. It’s made out of aluminium and looks great coupled with my silver MacBook Pro.
It feels really solid and doesn’t wobble when typing at all (even at the highest possible position).
This is the second BoYata laptop stand that I have purchased, they have been really good for raising the laptop up to the screen level. They are sturdy and well made.
This is the second one I have bought. Really pleased with it. Very sturdy and easy to transport. Use to use and adjust. Does the job. Arrived already assembled which is a bonus!
With my laptop now raised 20 cm or so, the screen is directly in front of my eyes so that I can use my computer for hours without neck pain. The stand is made to a very high quality, is nice looking and light.
I got this stand for my laptop and it is very steady. A very-well made product.
It could be hard to adjust sometimes, but that is why it is so steady.
Love it.
This stand is very sturdy and easily adjustable meaning that my laptop screen is now displayed at an height inline with my eyes instead of looking downwards as I was doing before.
The adjustment of the stand is not flimsy and my screen stays at the same height/angle all day long. It then collapses back down for easy storage when not in use.
This laptop stand has exceeded my expectations! I am so pleased with it. Suddenly I realised that it is so stable and well designed, that I can sit on my reclining chair, with my legs and feet elevated, and have my laptop literally on my lap being supported by this product.
I highly recommend this, especially for the elderly and perhaps those of us with mobility issue, like me!
Before buying, I spent a long time thinking about it and comparing it with other brands. I’m glad I chose this one. Comfortable and reliable, a month in use.
Rigid yet flexible and stores flat to save space when not in use
Ideal if you are going to be working on a laptop for a long time: correct screen height and can fit a proper external keyboard on the desk underneath.
You can trust its sturdiness, you have to use both hands to adjust which also means it won’t disorient on regular use.
The stand came in a box fully assembled and it is super easy to use. great investment simple and don’t have to assemble anything and can easily be adjusted.
Great little laptop stand. Sturdy well
Made and very easy to use.
Sleek, Strong, flexible and good height adjustment. Plenty of space under Esther for pads/books etc. Quite heavy if you’re taking it with you anywhere but great for home working
This laptop stand has made me much more comfortable when working at my laptop; it’s strong and stable, and reasonably priced. It also frees up space on my desk. I can recommend it to anyone who spends time at a desk hunched over a laptop.
I love this, keeps me from slouching too
Very sturdy.
This stand is perfect for your laptop. it helps you maintain an upright position so your posture is correct.
I bought one for the office and it helped so much I bought another for home. Its sturdy and adjustable
Works fine for everything up to a Macbook pro with ease, I did try with an older 15.6 Dell laptop that is quite heavy and there was a little bit of instability though.
It also looks quite beautiful too, had mine a few months now and can easily highly recommend it.
I like how this is easy to adjust and makes working from home much better.
This stand can hold a MacBook Pro while underneath I can put a usb audio device, a Korg nanokey2 or even an iPad. It’s well built and has the right amount of resistance to keep a laptop in place, in other words: move the stand to your liking and it will definitely stay in that position. It folds up nice and flat.
I am bothered to write a review, says it all! Looks great, quality construction and sits smartly with my samsung curved monitor and mac mini. I didn’t do a lot of research before buying this so cannot say it is THE best out there, but in addition to writing a review, I will also be buying another.
Feels very well put together and is nice and strong so doesn’t move the laptop at all, in fact it’s quite stiff to move it into the correct position, but as you won’t do that often and it means the thing is pretty locked in place then this is ideal.
Great for the money!
I’ve found that most laptop stands aren’t sturdy enough to hold my hefty windows work laptop. Though this one still wobbles a little, it does a pretty good job! I only wish that it could flatten down all the way so I could transport it more easily. It is good for using at home, but because it doesn’t fully flatten, you can’t travel with it as easily as you can with other ones.
It’s a nice stand, ergonomic and stable when using the laptop.
Lovely looking stand, great value for money, quickly dispatched. Have bought four of these for my work team and we all love them!
Compact, lightweight, sturdy, easy to store when not in use, adjustable to suit the height you need when working and makes the desk look less messy.
Good sturdy stand. Holds my 15.6 inch laptop still and at any angle. Has some weight to it and silicone feet too so does not move when using the laptop. At first it looks like it will fold back with some pressure but it needs quite some force to adjust so it’s perfect. The only issue I can see with this is when the hinges become loose, there isn’t a way to tighten them. But we’ll see how well it survives.
I try not to move it too much on the basis of seeing the odd review that mentioned there is no way to tighten it back up of it gets a bit loose. However the typing and viewing position is much better than just leaving it in the desk.
I recently purchased a laptop stand and I am really happy with its build quality and performance. The stand is extremely sturdy and adapts to multiple positions, including using it flat on the desk or raised up to a comfortable viewing angle. I was surprised by how premium the stand feels, it feels like it was made to last. I highly recommend it.
High quality and perfect stand. Happily holds a MacBook pro and is very stable. Highly recommended.
Changed my work from home life – my back is extremely grateful 🙂
Just what I needed, adjusts to lots of positions. Was a bit fiddly at first but now it’s at the right angle it’s perfect. Would recommend.
Very sturdy and robust when standalone. If you touch laptop while it’s on the stand it can wobble a fair amount!
Matches perfectly with my keyboard and Mac. Definitely helps to be comfortable and on a good posture, no more sore back

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.)

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.
Cannot fault this product at all – it does the job and then some. Yes, maybe a little pricey to what you may think for a laptop stand but honestly – you pay for the quality and this product has quality all over it!! Only been using it for a week but it’s super sturdy and holds the laptop properly. I’m sure there are many other stands out there, but I’m lucky I didn’t have to look too far to find a decent one.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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 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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
