Has anyone tried using this as a small laptop stand (about 9x13")? Wondering if it would be sturdy enough. The rectangular ones don't fit my space.

If your laptop is 9x13", it will overhang the platform slightly either at the back corners of the laptop or the front. If you're putting the stand in a corner against two walls you probably won't have room to tilt the display on the laptop back without the front of the laptop overhanging the front of the stand. Also, the feet are slick and it tends to slide around on a smooth surface so that could be a problem if you are typing on the laptop.

I have only used the rectangular stands (30336). We put the laptop under the stand and the monitors above the stand. The rectangular stands would bounce as you type. The triangular stands may be more stable.

The corner stand is sturdy and I have used it to place an external hard drive on and it does accommodate my 17" Mac when I use it as a stand to keep it off the kitchen counter but I agree with the other two good reviews by GHWells and Chuck. I own both the corner and rectangle stands and I like them both but I agree with the two reviewers--I would not use them to type on.

I don't know why I ended up a reviewer I did not purchase the corner stand I bought the rectangular stand. If you have a docking station I don't see why it wouldn't work for a laptop.

I use the stand for a 19" TV on the corner of my desk. It is very sturdy and I love it. To prevent slipping, you can try rubberized shelf lining (for dollar stores) or felt circles.

I answered incorrectly based on another stand I also use. There may be room for the monitor, depending on the laptop dimensions.

This one looks a lot smaller than the one I bought, so it's probably sturdier. I don't think I'd use it as a desk though cause I would lean on it. But if you don't do that it should work. I did a vendor event this past Saturday and my friend had one similar to this - it was sturdy

I bought this thinking I could use it as a stand up desk for my laptop (since all the experts tell us we're sitting too much). However, when you extend it to it's maximum height, not only is it not quite high enough to use as a standing desk (and I am short!), but it also gets pretty wobbly. Right now, I have mine set at about 3 ft. and that is perfiect for sitting on the side of my bed and using my laptop. ( We have a somewhat tall bed, FYI.) I esitmate one could raise it another 8 inches or so since there are 2 more holes left on the metal post, but as I said, it gets pretty wobbly when fully extended. I do like it very much, though. Hope this helps. I bought this thinking I could use it as a stand up desk for my laptop (since all the experts tell us we're sitting too much).

Funny you should ask I have had this stand for going on two years of daily use. And the only time it let me down was with my 17' hp laptop it's was to heavy for the stand. But for my other laptops it works perfect.The stand is made of metal and it is nonslip, I like it because it's light weight Good luck

Mine is a 15" monitor. It hangs over each side a little, but I have two of these stands. I love them for keeping the laptop cool and secure at he same time.

I wouldn't recommend doing that. It will withstand the weight but it won't be stable (unless the laptop screen is closed).

I don't recommend putting anything heavy on this stand. I only use it for my large books when teaching and never for any electronics. I personally don't feel it's sturdy enough for my laptop or projector without assistance. Hope this answers your question.

I don't believe so. This works well for lighter laptops, ultrabooks, and netbooks. Laptops on the heavier side won't be suitable for this stand.

This stand is really made for a flat device such as an Android tablet, or an iPad. I feel it is sturdy enough to hold about any small portable device or computer, but I'm not sure how you would plan on sitting a computer that folds on it. The biggest negative factor I can see is that it might be too narrow to effectively hold a computer which is wider than my Nexus 10.

I think it would work well. It is pretty sturdy. My laptop weighs about 5 lbs and I don't have any weight issues with it. There is also a lip on the front that would hold a book well. The lip is about 1/2 inch thick.

Are you talking about a 36" Toshiba or similar (I used to have one)? I'd say this stand would probably support it, since it has a center partition. But it is just 3/4" particle board, so I wouldn't swear to it.

I would recommend the mStand Laptop Stand. I bought both the same day. The Rolodex doesn't prop up evenly. I only like it collapses for traveling.

I use it as a dining table for extra guests and it works perfectly. My son is using a square one as his desk/music station and it's done well there as well. I wouldn't stand on it but as a table, it's fine. Doesn't wobble.

This particular stand does nothave a deep lip (about 1/4") so you won't be able to just rest the papers down without first finding a way of clipping them to the plate. I have done it by using some clothes pins. If you have to make this stand do double duty, I would do it even though it is designed for laptops.

I use this only on a 10.5 inch tablet, I really would not use a laptop on this tablet stand.I hope this helps you.

I tested it by using my laptop & no problem, very sturdy. I mounted mine inside a cabinet (with screws) to hold my kitchen chopping boards.Depending where you mount it, you may have to store the laptop in vertically or horizontally. Also consider, the maximum thickness is 3". Hope that helps. Great idea!
