WIRED named our Laptop Tower Stand “Best Overall” yet again and here is the glowing review: “No matter how many stands I try, I keep coming back to the obVus Solutions Tower. It’s sturdy, light and sleek (as far as office supplies go). I love that it can be raised to various heights and positions, so it should work for most people’s home or work setups. You can easily go from sitting to standing, no standing desk needed (unless you are particularly tall), though it does take some muscle power to change the height and angle. That’s probably a good thing, as it won’t collapse while you’re working and spill your coffee everywhere. I’ve been using it consistently since 2020, and it has stayed just as sturdy, with no issues.”

Are you sitting at your desk for way too long hunched over your computer? New research shows Americans spend an average of 7 hours and 4 minutes looking at a screen everyday.(1) The most alarming fact is, we were not meant to work on a laptop, without a stand. Constantly looking down at your laptop puts a crazy amount of strain on your neck. You lean forward and extend your neck toward the screen, pulling your torso out in front of your hips instead of keeping it stacked up straight to support your weight. Your shoulders rise as you type on your keyboard and tighten to support the weight of your tilting head. Your head is actually designed to balance on top of your neck but when your head hangs forward, your neck muscles have to work extra hard to support it and the result is PAIN. Sitting in front of your computer for hours at a time accentuates this problem. We need to take the pressure off our backs and necks and create good workday behaviors.

If you’re not using a laptop stand you’re craning your neck and you need to raise your laptop up in order to maintain a healthy posture. It’s important to take the time to assess your workspace to ensure you’re optimizing your comfort level. A proper ergonomic office setup is essential for today’s working from anywhere-and-everywhere environment. Prevention and simple lifestyle changes are crucial for the reduction of lifestyle diseases. Changing your body position regularly with a well-designed workspace prevents health problems overall. If you’re resting your laptop on a stack of books or a cardboard box to give it height you’ve got the idea, but it’s time to upgrade to the obVus Solutions laptop tower stand.
