## Overview

The ELIVED Monitor Stand Riser 2-Pack is a set of two identical desk risers that lift a monitor or laptop to a more comfortable viewing height. In short, it suits people who can't fit a monitor arm to their desk but still want to raise their screens a little or bring two screens to the same height. You just set it on the desk.

Each platform measures 37.1 × 23.4 cm (14.6 × 9.2 in) and is made of steel mesh. The legs adjust to three heights: 9.9, 11.9, or 14 cm (3.9, 4.7, or 5.5 in). To change height, press the button on a leg and slide it. Assembly needs no tools, and the rated capacity is 20 kg (44 lbs).

The trade-off is that the maximum lift is 14 cm, and the screen can't be tilted or swiveled. This article focuses on two things to check before you buy: how much lift your desk setup actually needs, and whether your monitor's base fits on the platform.

## Compatibility Guide

There are no cables or power involved, so there's nothing to be incompatible electrically. The only questions are whether your device physically fits and whether you get the height you want. Get this wrong and you end up with a base hanging off the edge and a wobbly screen.

### 1. Does the monitor base fit within 23.4 cm of depth?

The depth of 23.4 cm matters more than the 37.1 cm width. Many 27-inch-and-larger monitors and curved monitors have V-shaped or large plate bases that are more than 20 cm deep. If the base overhangs the front or back, the monitor becomes unstable and shakes more when you type.

Don't judge fit by screen size ('24–32 inches should be fine'). What decides it is the **base footprint**. Check the depth including the stand on the manufacturer's spec page, or measure your current base with a ruler.

### 2. Does the base fit within 37.1 cm of width?

V-shaped bases with legs that splay outward can be wider than 37.1 cm, especially on ultrawide monitors. If the feet extend past the platform edges, this riser isn't a good match.

### 3. Weight

The rating is 20 kg, which leaves plenty of headroom for a typical LCD monitor. Still, it's worth confirming on the listing whether that figure is per unit. If you plan to put a printer on it, also consider the vibration while it prints.

### Using it with a laptop

Because the platform is mesh, it doesn't block bottom air intakes on laptops. Most laptops around 15 inches fit, but check the depth on 16–17 inch models. Once the screen is at eye level, the built-in keyboard becomes awkward to use, so plan on an external keyboard and mouse.

## Choosing Between 9.9, 11.9 and 14 cm

A common ergonomic guideline is that the top of the screen should sit at or slightly below eye level. Here's how to pick a height:

1. Sitting in your usual chair, measure the height from the desk surface to your eyes
2. Measure how high the top edge of your current screen is above the desk
3. See which setting (9.9, 11.9 or 14 cm) is closest to the difference

If the difference is more than 14 cm, this riser alone won't get you there. Combine it with the monitor's own height adjustment, or consider a monitor arm. If there's barely any difference, adding a riser puts the screen too high and you'll end up looking up. People who wear progressive lenses often find a slightly lower screen more comfortable, so start with the lowest setting.

The two risers can be set to different heights. For example, set the monitor on the left to 11.9 cm and the laptop on the right to 14 cm so the tops of both screens line up.

## How It Compares to Other Riser Types

| Type | Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh 2-pack (this product) | Three height settings, each unit set independently, good airflow | No tilt; 14 cm max |
| Wooden 2-pack | Flat surface for small items, warmer look | Often fixed height |
| Single riser with drawer | Hidden storage | Usually fixed height; may be too narrow for two screens |
| Wide single-board dual riser | Holds two monitors on one board | Takes up desk width and depth; same height for both sides |
| Monitor arm | Full control over height, tilt and position | Needs desk clamping and VESA holes |

What sets this product apart is that you can change the height later and set the two units differently. For renters and anyone who can't drill or clamp their desk, it's a practical alternative to an arm.

## Recommended Users

* **Remote workers with neck or shoulder strain**: If you spend the day looking down at a laptop or a low monitor, raising it 10–14 cm brings your line of sight closer to horizontal. Nothing is attached to the desk, so it works in rentals and shared offices.
* **Anyone matching two screens**: Monitors of different brands or sizes rarely line up at the top. Because each riser has its own height, it's easier to even them out.
* **People using a laptop as a second screen**: A laptop next to a monitor usually sits too low. Dedicate one riser to the laptop to reduce up-and-down eye movement, and the mesh helps keep heat from building up.
* **People who want a tidier desk**: You get room underneath for papers or a slim keyboard.

## Before You Buy

**No tilt or swivel. ** The only adjustment is up and down in three steps. If you need to angle the screen or rotate it to portrait, you'll need the monitor's own stand features or a monitor arm.

**14 cm is the ceiling. ** It may not be enough to bring a small laptop up to eye level, or for a tall person using a low monitor. Measure first using the steps above.

**Change the height with nothing on it. ** The legs adjust with buttons, so if you do it with a monitor on top, one side may drop first and tip the screen.

**There's less room underneath than the listed height suggests. ** The usable gap is the leg height minus the platform thickness. If you want to store a keyboard underneath, check that it fits at the lowest 9.9 cm setting.

**Mesh isn't great for small items. ** The airflow comes at a cost: thin pens and small parts roll or catch more easily than on a flat board. If small-item storage is your priority, a wooden or drawer-style riser fits better.

**Be careful about stacking. ** Stacking the two units for extra height is sometimes suggested, but stability and load capacity aren't guaranteed when stacked. Avoid putting a heavy monitor on a stacked pair.

**Poor value if you only need one.

Online listings sometimes group color and bundle variations together. Confirm from the images and title that you're ordering the 2-pack before checking out.

## FAQ

**Q. Will a 27-inch monitor fit? **
A. It depends on the base, not the screen size. If the base is no more than 23.4 cm deep and 37.1 cm wide, it fits. Check the dimensions including the stand on the manufacturer's spec page.

**Q. Which height should I choose? **
A. Measure the difference between your eye height and the top of your current screen while seated, then pick the closest setting. The usual target is the top of the screen at or slightly below eye level.

**Q. Does it help cool a laptop? **
A. The mesh doesn't block bottom air intakes, but there's no fan, so don't expect it to work like a cooling pad.

**Q. Do I need tools to set it up? **
A. No. Both attaching the legs and changing the height are done by hand.

**Q. Should I get this or a monitor arm? **
A. Choose an arm if you want fine control over tilt and position. Choose this riser if you don't want to attach anything to your desk and 14 cm of lift or less is enough.
