Monitor Stands and Monitor Risers

Monitor Stands and Monitor Risers for a Better Screen Height

Monitor stands and risers lift your screen to a more comfortable viewing height while making better use of the space on your desk. Choose from adjustable monitor stands, stacking risers, drawer models and touchscreen stands for monitors, laptops and selected all-in-one computers.

Before choosing a monitor riser, check the weight and size of your screen, the height range you need and the amount of desk space available. Also check the platform dimensions and whether you need storage underneath for a laptop, keyboard or office accessories.

Choose the right monitor riser

• Adjustable monitor stands: choose an adjustable height when more than one person uses the workstation or when you want to fine-tune the screen position.
• Fixed and stacking risers: use stacking columns or a fixed platform when you know the height you need and want a stable, straightforward setup.
• Drawer monitor risers: add storage for stationery, documents or smaller accessories while raising the monitor.
• Touchscreen and all-in-one stands: check the product specifications for height adjustment, tilt, rotation and the weight of the complete display.

Check compatibility before ordering

Compare the monitor's weight with the stand's stated capacity, then check the width and depth of the platform. Some models also support laptops, but the maximum laptop weight may be different from the monitor limit. If you plan to store a laptop, docking station or keyboard underneath, allow enough clearance for the equipment and its cables.

A monitor stand or riser is useful when you want to raise the screen without attaching hardware to the desk. If you need to move the screen regularly, adjust its reach or free more space underneath, compare the monitor arms collection. For a laptop workstation, see the desk riser option.
