Oristand Portable Standing Desk

From the Oristand Website:

• Oristand is a standing desk converter, meaning it’s not a desk itself – it’s an object you place on top of your existing desk or table, transforming it into a stand-up desk. 
• Oristand is made of uncoated cardboard to keep it environmentally friendly and affordable. If a spill does occur, wipe it off quickly, then let the cardboard dry completely before using it again. 
• Oristand has been designed to support the weight of any laptop and keyboard providing you use it on a flat and level surface. Oristand can withstand average weights of around 60 lbs (27 kgs). Use your discretion and do what feels most comfortable to you!
• A single Oristand weighs 2 lbs (0.9 kg).

Ideal for use in our group study rooms.
