Pros

✓ All-metal build rated to hold 33.06 lbs, with reviewers repeatedly describing it as 'built like a tank' rather than the flimsy plastic risers at this price
✓ Twist-knob height adjustment, simple enough to raise or lower without tools once assembled
✓ Open space underneath the platform for a keyboard, notebooks or other desk items
✓ Skid-proof pads at the base, and extra rubber feet included beyond what's on the stand
✓ $25.49, 4.7★ across 4,272 ratings, and a top-twenty seller in Amazon's Monitor Stands category

Cons

– Only 2.4 inches of height adjustment (4.3" to 6.7") — a much narrower range than a full monitor arm, so it raises a screen rather than fully customizing eye level
– BoYata's own instructions warn to keep the monitor's stand aligned with the riser's support pillars — weight shifted off-center moves the center of gravity forward, and a heavy monitor left misaligned risks tipping
– Assembly needed two people for at least one reviewer, who found the screws harder to seat solo despite the stand's simple 2-plate design
