HUANUO Monitor Stand: A Simple Upgrade for Virtual Teaching in 2020

In 2020, virtual teaching suddenly meant I was spending a lot more time sitting at a desk in front of a computer.

That is when I bought a HUANUO adjustable monitor stand.

The stand in my Amazon history is the HUANUO three-height adjustable monitor riser.

My short version: it did its job. I needed a simple way to raise the monitor while I was spending hours at the computer, and that is what it gave me.

Why I bought it

Virtual teaching changed the amount of time I spent planted at a desk almost overnight.

I was not building an elaborate home studio. I was trying to make an everyday computer setup more workable for long teaching days.

Sometimes “it did its job” is enough

I do not remember this monitor riser because it transformed my life. I remember it because it was a practical piece of equipment during a very specific period when I was using a computer constantly.

That is also how I think about some of the other gear I used for remote teaching, including my TONOR USB microphone. The useful stuff was the stuff that quietly made the setup easier to live with.

Would I buy a monitor riser again?

Yes, if I had a monitor sitting too low for a desk setup. I would not overcomplicate the purchase. The point is simply to get the screen where you want it and have a stable place for it to sit.
