Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Allsop Metal Art Monitor Stand - Black
Customer Review: AWESOME!
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally bought this for a clunky 17" CRT monitor about 2 years ago, and boy did it free up massive amounts of space on my desk! Then when I switched over to a 19" LCD, I kept it and found it was still very useful, had enough room for my LCD plus a pair of computer speakers on top, and my cordless keyboard underneath. Too many monitor stands these days have vertical supports at the front as well as the rear, which makes it impossible to slide your keyboard underneath when not in use...GRRR!
And just as importantly, I love the sleek, clean and simple design. Mine was a dark brushed-nickel or titanium color, not sure if it's the same as this one listed as "black." Too much of industrial design these days seems to be geared for the teeny-bopper bling-bling set, this one is obviously for adults. It's too bad that Walmart no longer carries it, I'd buy another from them right now if I could for my new office!
Customer Review: A little cramped underneath
Summary: 4 Stars
As a monitor stand, this is excellent. It has no problem supporting my 22" HP w2207 LCD monitor. However, if you want to put your keyboard and mouse underneath it, be mindful of the space.
The space between the supports is about 22 inches wide and 12 inches deep, so I can put a keyboard underneath it. Unfortunately, there's not much room to store a mouse and a mousepad side-by-side with the keyboard. Luckily, I have a cordless mouse, so I just put it on top with the monitor when I'm not using it.
When I type, the stand casts shadows that often fall on my keyboard, so I can't see the keys. It may be helpful to use a keyboard with illuminated keys. I normally just pull the keyboard towards me so it's not in the shadow. I could try touch-typing without looking at the keys, but there's only about 4 inches of space underneath the stand, so my hands tend to bump into the underside of the stand.
Customer Review: Nice sturdy stand
Summary: 4 Stars
I spent a lot of time researching these stands on Amazon and finally decided to purchase this one. It does what it promises to do. My 32" LCD TV sits comfortably on it, and the DVD player is right underneath. So far we havent seen any bouncing. If you experience bouncing, make sure you have it set up the right way. The curvy legs should be in the back, not in front.
Also, Amazon has the dimension all wrong. The dimension they listed are for the junior stand, not this one. This one is way bigger. Its better if you go to Allsop website and take a look at the stands as well as dimension before you purchase.
Last but not least, it looks like Amazon sends us one that has been returned by someone else. It doesnt have any dents or big scratches, but doesnt mean you cannot notice. Im not gonna take points off of the product, because this is a seller issue. But I thought you should be aware of this.
Customer Review: I have my desk back!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can finally do paper work at my computer desk without having to rearrange my monitor, speakers, keyboard etc. I mainly bought this for my 19" HP flat screen monitor that did not have a height adjustment. Now it's at a very comfortable height but the best feature is how much desk space I acquired. The construction is very solid and it is holding my monitor, speakers, and usb hub and has the space to hold more. The area underneath should accept even the biggest of keyboards. I have gained so much space that I can now do my homework here without having to move things around or go lay across my bed. The entire unit is black satin finish (NO SILVER TOP AS SHOWN ON FRONT OF BOX), which will match anything. Also, there is no construction involved which is nice. Thanks ALLSOP! I ordered your monitor stand and received a "new desk".Customer Review: Just what I was looking for.

Hey guys.
There really isn't much to say about this product. There are no parts to it, no assembly, nothing. From the point it reaches your doorstep, all you have to do is open it up, and placed it where you want it.
I have to admit, the construction of this stand is absolutely sturdy and worth the money I paid for. It is currently holding my 22" monitor perfectly without any trouble. And the ample space beneath the stand allows me to tuck my laptop neatly underneath it. This finally results in a whole lot of new desk space!
I am giving it a 5 stars because the height of this product is perfect. Please know the dimensions of this product before purchasing it! It may just be too tall for you!
Cheers.
