Monitor stands and laptop stands that get your screen up to eye level and give you some of your desk back. Most of these are simple monitor risers you set down and put the screen on, with room underneath for a keyboard, a notebook or whatever was piled there before. For a screen floating off the desk entirely, there are clamp-on monitor arms and a dual monitor mount too.
A riser is the easy win for a bedroom desk or a rented flat, because nothing gets screwed into anything. Arms need a solid desk edge to clamp to, and the wall mount needs a wall you are allowed to drill, so check which one suits your space before you order.
Three good places to start. The laptop and monitor riser is the plain one in black, white or wood, and it takes a laptop just as happily as a screen. The monitor stand with a USB hub puts the ports at the front, so the cable you plug in every day is not round the back of the machine. And the monitor riser with drawers hides the clutter underneath rather than just lifting the screen above it.
Two screens, or none of the above? The dual monitor mount holds both on one clamp, the single monitor arm does the same job for one, and the acrylic monitor stand is the nearly invisible option for a small desk.

Common Questions
Do I actually need a monitor stand?
If the top of your screen sits below eye level, you spend the day looking down at it, and a riser fixes that in seconds. You also get a shelf's worth of space underneath for a keyboard or a notebook when you are not using them.
Will a monitor arm fit my screen?
Arms and mounts fix to the VESA holes on the back of the screen, the four screw holes in a square that most monitors have. Turn yours round and check before you order. A riser does not care what sits on it.
Riser, arm or wall mount, which one?
A monitor riser just sits on the desk, which makes it the easy one for renters and anyone who moves their setup around. An arm clamps to the desk edge and lets you swing the screen about. The wall mount takes the screen off the desk completely, but it means drilling, so it is one for a wall you own or have permission to fix to. If that rules it out, a riser does the height job with no tools at all.
Do you do laptop stands as well?
Yes. There are foldable aluminium laptop stands in here and a tablet stand too. They lift the screen the same way a monitor riser does, and fold flat enough to go in a bag.
What else sorts out a small desk?
Once the screen is up, the space underneath is the easy bit. Our desk organisers handle the pens and paperwork, and the rest of Desk Essentials covers mats and cable tidying.
