Packaging excessive and probably makes it more expensive than it has to be – albeit really nice.
Solid build, perfect tilt angle, and doesn’t need putting together. No issues with paint like a few other reviews. My MacBook Pro M2 14″ fits perfectly.
This stand raised my laptop up to be even with my large 27″ monitor. No other stand I’ve seen can do that. Thank you.
My office space is primarily hoteling (no assigned desks/seats). Much better option than stacking books or teams of paper under my laptop. Comes with a great travel case (and an Allen wrench to adjust the stand) and clean, simple in design.
I have a 15 inch Dell laptop and it fits perfectly on this stand. The stand is sturdy, easy to use, folds flat and has a nice carrying case that fits in my computer bag. Perfect size and device for anyone working remotely and needing a mobile office. Highly recommend! And it looks cool too which is an added bonus.
Yes to all of the obvious features proclaimed by other reviewers. Super thin, extremely well made, cool case. Smartly designed. Higher overall elevation than any other stands I’ve seen.
These 2 caveats are not deal breakers but important considerations:
The bottom of the stand extends a good 2″ out from the bottom edge of your laptop. This limits how close you can place an external keyboard. You could place it on top of the stand’s base but it would be pretty unstable.
The weight of the stand is considerable.
J’ai achet cet article car j’avais besoin d’un support pour mon MB pro. Il convient parfaitement pour un format 13 pouces. Aprs plusieurs jours d’utilisation j’ai remarqu que lorsque je surlevais le support au maximum, le poids de l’ordinateur peut lgrement l’abaisser, il faut juste redonner un petit coup de clef btr pour renforcer. part a je suis super content du produit, il est livr avec une petite housse pour le transport, se plie et se dplie facilement. Trs pratique et agrable utiliser au quotidien.
Like this a lot. It’s very sturdy and saves my neck.
It is flexible and you can set the height based on your need. Also it’s portable which help you to carry it outside the home. it made from great product I recommend i
Does exactly what I want it to do. Elevates my macbook and is adjustable to different heights. The macbook stays put and doesn’t slip around either.
Used to have a black one but gave out as a gift to family. Work for a month without the stand, my neck start feeling stiff after prolonging work. Saw while colour on sale and order right away. Cannot live without it for fun and work. Must buy!
Simple attractive all metal design.looks good and does the job. Non adjustable but good height and takes large 16 inch laptop. I was surprised to find i much preferred it to adjustable stands. Works well combined with large monitor.
This stand is perfect for my 16-inch Macbook Pro. It seems sturdy and very well made. I also really like the design of it, looks great on my desk.
Nice neat design, Holds my 13″ MacBook Pro nicely at an improved height. Kinda pricey for what it is though. It came well packaged but the plastic film coated card packaging seems totally unnecessary. Why are manufacturers still using plastic covered card to package their products?
I use this for a 12″ chromebook with my home office setup and I have also bought one for the workplace. Nothing fancy about it except it looks great and is the perfect angle for doing a dual screen with your laptop and monitor.
It is strong, sleek and modern in design, and unobtrusive on the desk. It raises the screen of my macbook about 6″ off the desk, to a perfect height for me, without straining my neck. I have had cheaper models in the past but for my money this one is worth every penny. I am very happy with it Arrived within a day or two of ordering, packaged securely in a strong. box. Happy to recommend.
Really well made, sturdy and elegant. My MacbookPro 16” sits very confortably. It has non slip pads so it’s pretty much anchored to the desk. Recommended
My laptop was overheating on a stack of books, with the fan going constantly. I bought this to provide a low profile solution – found it to be an excellent product. Helps keep laptop cool, holds at just the right height, sturdy and stable design, and clever construction means it’s unobtrusive and barely takes any space on the desk.
I was a bit doubtful whether this stand would be worth the money, but I love it! It’s easy to use, looks great and I use it everyday. Love it!
Really happy with this stand. I bought when it was on offer so really was worth the money.
I love this stand, I’ve been looking for the right stand for a long time (only been using books placed on top of each other in the meantime) but this stand is soooo good both visually and functionally.
This is a great stand for working with and have been using every day since I bought it. Really pleased with my purchase
Bought two of these, one for me and one for my wife. They are very well made and stylish. Using one with a 16″ macbook pro and the other with a 13″ macbook pro and it works great with either.
If you’re a bit fussy and want something which is of as high quality as the laptop you plan to put on it then this is the one for you.
Raises the laptop above the desk to provide extra space to type etc and is at a very ergonomical height for use.
Smart, clever, well designed, and a well made, it is the best laptop stand I have ever had
Overall a nice product but mine arrived a little scuffed.
Looks and feels great – high quality material and good, sleek look. This is exactly what I needed as I adopt a second screen and work with a separate keyboard, although I also tried using it while standing and it was angled well for that, too.
This is a fantastic stand for my laptop, I have a Macbook Pro from 2019 and I was worried about the weight and how sturdy this stand would be. But it is actually very good quality and exceeded my expectations, looks beautiful too!
It’s a laptop stand; a stand for a laptop. This product definitely does the job and looks great while it does it. Very much is what it looks like as advertised and feels very sturdy and well made. The non slip pads are ideal if you have a flat based laptop (mine has an ‘ergo-lift’ design which will probably result in the odd scratch but not too fussed’. The price is a big ask and probably a little excessive for a bit of curvy metal but that is the only thing that I could say against it.
If bold, aesthetic and minimalist design really gets you going though, this is the best you’ll find!
Very pleased with this purchase. It looks amazing in my workspace, does exactly what I need in terms of how the MacBook Pro 13 is so easy to use at the height and angle and it will last forever.
I decided to spend a little more on a stand and chose this on aesthetic over price. It is very sturdy metal with a lovely mat finish. Elegant and sleek and holds my MacBook at a perfect angle.
Already my neck feels better when working.
Highly recommend.
I needed something to get my 13″ MacBook Pro screen to a more comfortable eye level for prolonged periods working from home. This does the job very nicely. It’s a well made piece and the rubber pads mean the bottom of my laptop doesn’t get scratched. It’s more expensive than the alternative though I’d say it’s probably worth the extra expense.
As a photographer it helps to be able to put your laptop on a stand when outside, so I am not putting it on dirty pavements. It holds well and looks nice as well. I have seen some really ugly plastic ones in my time.
I was looking for a laptop stand that looked good for my new WFH desk and after viewing several, I decided to purchase the Twelve South Curve Stand. Overall, the item functions great and looks really nice.
I was however a bit disappointed in the quality of the finish on the product. The painted aluminium finish covered inconsistencies in the bending of the aluminium frame and I noticed this on two separate models that I had purchased. Alongside this, the application of the rubber seals on the bottom could have done with a better finish but thankfully this is not visible when placed on a desk.
After ordering the item twice, I decided to keep the item which displayed the least prominent or visible ‘inconsistencies’ as ultimately, I still liked the look and function of the product even though I believe the quality control can be better so please inspect your item throughly when receiving this item.
I bought this laptop stand for my home office given that I’m constantly working from home. I have a 2013 MacBook Pro (16inch screen) and was finding that looking down constantly was giving me a sore neck.
There is no setting up to do – you simply take the stand out of the box, place it on the desk and set your laptop onto it. It couldn’t be easier.
The laptop fits perfectly and is held in place by the stand design so it does not slip off or move from the position that you placed it in at all.
It isn’t the cheapest stand out there – but it does look very nice and it is also made out of very strong material with no parts that will go wrong.
I bought two different laptop stands, and this one wins hands-down. It looks elegant, it’s easy to move around, and most importantly it feels completely secure for my MacBook — even with a cat that loves to leap onto the desk when I’m working. You can actually knock the stand or the laptop quite hard and it won’t budge at all. I thought twice about ordering it, as the price seemed a bit high for a simple stand. It’s a good ergonomic height, where you can still use the keyboard for simple tasks (for more intensive work I use a separate keyboard which stows neatly underneath). Now I can see the great quality and beautiful design, I think it’s definitely worth the price.
– Raises your laptop till around 6 inches high.
– Ideal for eye-level viewing.
– Perfect for external keyboard and mouse use
– Relaxes your shoulder and neck, better viewing angle
– A bit pricey, but it’s worth for your well-being
– Not perfect to type on, because the angle of your hands are not suitable, it may lead to uncomfortable in long period.
Looks great and it seems like a quality item. The laptop sits firmly, it won’t slip. I’m happy with the purchase.
PS: you need an external keyboard to use it. I just wanted a stand to bring the laptop closer since I use an external keyboard and that made the laptop sit farther away, bit hard to see. This is exactly what I wanted.
I think this is overpriced to be honest but that being said it looks great and does a great job. OK you can’t adjust the height on it but any you can look ugly. This looks so nice and it works well.
Maybe just buy it when its in the sale, then again you pay a premium for Apple products because they look nice and work well, this is the same I guess.
The design is very stylish and looks great on my desk. The build quaility is heavy duty and i don’t see it breaking. I currently have a 15″ Dell Precision ontop of it and it handles it well.
I used an external keyboard and when directly infront of the laptop and stand and the stand is firm, it does not shake or bounce when typing, which is something i have experienced in the past with cheaper laptop stands.
The price is fair, as the build quality is heavy duty.
The design looks great and the matt black colour is really nice and finished well. Another reason why i went for this is because of the Black colour.
Sleek, Stylish and Strong.
The stand came in an impressive box. It was fully wrapped with protective wrapping which was easy to slip off. I suppose if you stare at it long enough you can see some slight imperfections – but you’d really have to stare.
The stand is sturdy and even when you type using the mac onboard keyboard there isn’t much movement (unless you have a tendency to really stomp your keys…). I have my 12″ Macbook on it and it sits very flush with the stand and seems to be quite secure.
There are rubber soles for what your laptop sits on to keep it steady and these seem well-fitted and do the job.
In terms of height, I find with my seat lowered my eyes are probably flush with the top of the screen – which seems ideal in terms of ergonomics.
The stand is also quite light – despite feeling sturdy. This was important to me as I currently have a herniated disc in my neck and am working from home when I can. I therefore need to be able to move the stand to different locations or tidy it away (I’m using my dining room table as my home office desk!). Given how light the stand is – moving it is absolutely no issue. I guess I would say it is a reassuring weight, like enough to move but not flimsy.
So pros and cons:
Pros –
Well-made
Sturdy
Simple but beautiful design
Mac fits and sits well
Plenty of air can get to Mac given the design
Very easy to move
Pretty good height.
Cons –
Price – you’re paying for beautiful simplicity
Not adjustable – but can’t really count this as it never professed to be adjustable!
All-in-all I’m very pleased. I just hope longer term it remains as beautiful as it is today!
