There is no ledge to hold laptop. My laptop fell on the floor and broke! To continue to teach my second graders online I have to purchase a new laptop. Terrible product!

Laptop riser
I like the design, it holds my laptop well. It has has air flow underneath. However, i wish it was an inch wider, able to rise about 4 in & a little more sturdy as it is a little wobbly.

bottom lip wasn't long enough
The bottom lip wasn't large enough for me to set my computer on, so I'll be returning it.

Perfect
I use two laptops when I work from home. One is for a video meeting, one is to type the minutes or view documents. I had been putting the video conference laptop on a stack of books, with the other laptop in front of it on the desk. This riser solves all my WFH problems. It’s high enough that you can’t see the other laptop on the video meeting. I wish I had bought it tw...

Doesn’t hold
The ledge isn’t high enough to hold the laptop. You would need to tape the laptop to the riser. Poorly designed.

Response from Fellowes Expert :
Hi Stephen. We are sorry for your experience. The lip on the 80384 is 1/2". There are other laptop risers which have taller lips -- i.e. 8036701: 7/8”, 9311201: ¾”. If you need assistance in determining which is best suited for your laptop, please give customer service a call. We are here to assist you!

Poorly built for the price
This item is mostly plastic and quite flimsy. Adjustment is jerky and awkward. The lip that keeps the laptop from sliding off of the platform is not of adequate height.

Overpriced and devoid of features
Something at this price point should have significant features and a smarter design or better build materials. This is just standard plastic with no fan(s), no USB hub, or any other defining features. I returned it.

Lap top riser review
Pleased with this purchase as it was exactly what I needed for my lap top to be as high as my full computer screen. No hassle to set up, just pull out of the box & it’s ready to go.

Poor Performance
The product seemed a little flimsy, but the big problem is that the front support lip is too short and too slippery. My HP Laptop with rounded front base slipped right off. I had to return it.

Does not do what it claims
Bought this riser for use with a 17 inch laptop. This riser literally DROPPED THE LAPTOP. Does not do as it claims. The lip to hold said laptop is not large enough to securely hold much of anything. (even an iPad, I tried that too) Do not buy!

Poor Design
The lip on the top of the holder is not large enough and would not hold my laptop. This is poorly designed.

One of the few items I felt I had to return
The one I bought seemed a little wobbly but the main problem was tat the front lip was too short to prevent my laptop from sliding down. I replaced with the Staples brand metal frame riser and I'm way happier.

Larger ledge needed
The ledge is about a quarter of an inch too small for the curved edges of my HP laptop. There should be a way to adjust the height of the ledge.
