StarTech.com launches Monitor Riser Stand with Wireless Charging Pad

In an office setting, sometimes you can opt for an elegant desk layout, while other times, you can go the low-class route. For example, I once needed a monitor riser when working at a former employer, but there was no money in the budget for such things. What did I do? I used a ream of printer paper instead. Did it look nice? No, but it got the job done.

With all of that said, I’m a big believer in the benefits of having a classy workstation. Being proud of your work area can boost your confidence and lead to improved productivity. Today, StarTech.com launches a new height-adjustable monitor riser that is both beautiful and special. You see, not only can it increase the height of your computer monitor, but it has an integrated Qi wireless charger for your smartphone too. How cool is that?

"This computer monitor stand enables you to easily increase the maximum height of your monitor by 3.3 in or 4.6 in from the desk surface, reducing neck/shoulder strain. With a mounting surface of 23.6 in (60 cm) x 9.8 in (25 cm), the monitor stand creates a storage area of 21 in under the platform to store devices like your docking station, USB Hub, keyboard, or office supplies," explains StarTech.com.

With the included rubber feet, your riser will stay in place and will ensure your desk surface is protected against scratches."
