As soon as I started using this stand and posted it on my social media, my friends asked me a lot about it. At first they didn't recognize it as a laptop stand because most people are familiar with the metal, plastic, bulky stands. I love how this stand looks different, especially with the walnut appearance and color. It's not made of metal but still steady enough on my table. I don't have any trouble of slipping it or knocking my laptop over.
