WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu recommends it in his Home Office Gear guide, saying it's best suited for a desk or table to make room for a separate keyboard and mouse, though you can use it on a couch too. If you’d like your home office to match your other decor, Grovemade’s Walnut Laptop Stand might do the trick. Feverish typing on a separate keyboard makes the stands shift around a bit, but you're probably not working that hard from bed anyway. It's not as sturdy as the Nnewvante, though, and we don't recommend using a separate keyboard on either. It also comes with a removable mouse pad. By pressing each button on the leg joints, you can adjust and tilt it to work on a flat surface or while you're lying down.

★ Aluminum alternative: We also like the Uncaged Ergonomics WorkEZ Best Laptop Stand ($40). Even better, it's made of bamboo and feels very nice. There's even a cute, small drawer for storing knickknacks! And when you're done with it, you can fold up the legs for slimmer storage. The smaller surface on the right stays flat and is a good place for your morning coffee.

You can't adjust the stand's height, but you can raise the base to an angle suitable to whatever you're doing-sketching, watching a movie on a tablet, eating breakfast, or typing on a laptop-and the built-in stopper keeps things from sliding off into your lap. The Nnewvante, which is also in our Home Office Gear guide, is a great stand for those lazier days. I've been working from home since 2018, and even though I love my desk (and my computer monitor), sometimes it's too hard to leave my bed in the morning or make it off the couch in the afternoon. I don't find it to be very intuitive to use at first, though-I had to read the directions to figure out I had it upside down.

★ Another portable stand: The Nexstand K1 Carbon Fiber Laptop Stand ($80) raises your laptop with its seven height options, and it folds into a very small, compact rectangle that will fit in just about any moderately sized bag. There's also the mBar ($25) stand, which raises a laptop 3 inches and doesn't fold up, and the mBar Pro ($55), which raises it the same amount but folds.

The mBar Pro Plus holds 9.7-inch (and up!) iPads if placed horizontally. My colleague now has two of these, so he doesn't have to worry about toting it back and forth between home and the office-but you can, because it folds up to just 9.5 x 6 inches, so it fits into any bag you'd also put a laptop in. It's a set height, raising a laptop about 5 inches at an angle. Type away without worrying about it buckling, and take it from your office to your living room or a coffee shop.

Despite being made of thin aluminum, this simple Rain Design stand is sturdy.
