Outstanding Product,
I’m six feet tall, and I can see where this riser might be a bit high for some for computer monitors. I still wouldn’t hesitate to buy as you can use the shelf to get phones, speakers, books, etc. up off your work surface. But I like having monitors high as it keeps your posture up when working. I have a design company running from a home office and had 3 monitors elevated on books on an Ikea desk. Some of my days go 16 hours and I’ve been needing a chiropractor to adjust my neck from craning it to the side. I’ve now got a 20″ iMac and 19″ PC monitor up on the riser and it’s a major improvement for a small investment. This product is much better looking than the picture shows. It doesn’t have the rubberized look in the photo. It’s more of a matte black texture. There was some minor scuffing from shipment, but not noticeable and nothing that couldn’t be fixed with a magic marker. The product is heavy-duty, but not heavy, and I can see putting 60 lbs or more on it with no trouble. The supports have quality rubber pads to protect your desk. I put bamboo mats down on the surface for protection and a less industrial look. Get yourself an ergonomic armrest, good mouse and keyboard and this riser and you have a great place to work (or watch movies). My desk now has 3 times the open space. Phone, speakers, hard drives, Wi-Fi etc. are all beneath the riser now. I don’t write a lot of reviews. This is a premium product for the price.

|Outstanding product, even more heavy-duty than expected,
This is one of those outstanding products that exceeds expectations, even after careful (online) searching. Assembly is limited to screwing in just four screws–two each to attach both of the legs–and Safco even includes an Allen (hex) wrench with which to do it. Other than that, the only other “assembly” is sliding in the four binder support columns, which can be positioned independently anywhere along the length of the shelf (or removed entirely) without the use of any tools. Even the rear lip, which is very sturdy and about an inch tall, comes attached.
The legs feel like lightly texturized die-cast aluminum — they are incredibly solid, very similar to the black wrought-iron supports you find on some fancy outdoor benches and fences or gates. The top has nine small grooves running the entire width of the shelf, the last and largest of which is to support the outside end of the upright supports.
The top surface itself is very textured with micro-grooves running parallel to the large grooves; the result looks and feels to the touch almost like the surface of a vinyl record, but with even finer grooves. At a distance the micro-grooves add just a little bit of sheen to the shelf, which looks sophisticated. However, it’s clear that the micro-grooves are there for functional rather than aesthetic reasons, as they add an effective amount of non-slip texturing.
Overall this product oozes strength and quality (in that order). My only wish is that it came in a choice of colors, because I would have preferred dark brown to match my desk more closely. But it is a wonderful unit and very easily worth the price.

|nice for dorm rooms,
i bought this for my dorm room because i knew the desks and the room didn’t have any additional shelving. it is very stable and i really recommend it for extra space.
the only problem i had was moving it home. the screws and pegs don’t really come out one you assemble it, so i had to bring it home whole which was difficult to maneuver. one of the screws ripped out of the shelf incased in plywood from the shelf (it’s not fully steel as i found out–there is plywood underneath). but it should still stand up fine once i glue the peg back in.
also, those wire stands holding the binders in the picture are removable.
