AI-generated summary
For £26.22 ex‑VAT, this StarTech monitor riser with a drawer is the kind of “small office upgrade” that actually earns its keep—mainly because it tackles two everyday annoyances at once: bad viewing height and messy clutter. If you’ve got a laptop or monitor sitting too low, even a modest raise can make your posture noticeably better, and the integrated drawer is genuinely useful for things like cables, a spare keyboard cover, notepads, pens, or the random USB bits people always lose. It’s also a decent fit for open-plan desks where you want your workstation to look tidy without buying a whole new monitor arm.
That said, I wouldn’t buy this if you’re expecting serious ergonomic adjustability or a premium feel. Height adjustment on risers like this is usually limited compared to proper arms, and the drawer is more “practical storage” than “workbench organiser.” If your setup is already well‑sized, or you use a lot of desk space and need something that’s super compact and minimal, a slimmer riser—or just a standless solution—might be a better value. Overall: best for UK SMBs and admin teams standardising basic ergonomic improvements on a budget, not for power users who want fine-tuned positioning.
