VIVO24 inch Monitor Stand, Wood & Steel Desktop Riser, Screen, Keyboard, Laptop, Small TV Ergonomic Desk and Tabletop Organizer, Black, STAND-V000D

TLDR Review: I first ordered this item on August 14, 2022. It was excellent and recently May 27, 2023 I was in need of another stand I decided to order it again. I was quite disappointed to learn that they have significantly changed the design since the first time I ordered.FULL Review:Here is a list of the differences between the first stand I bought in August and the one I just got in May, and my thoughts on the product in general as well as the changes made in case anyone else is in my same predicament.Part of the reason I liked the first one was because the surface piece was all one piece. It was very sturdy, looked great and putting it together was a breeze. Essentially all you needed to do was put the legs on it which was very easy because the screw holes were inset with metal threading that fit smoothly and perfectly.Later when I got the second one however, It was in a much smaller box and I actually thought I had gotten the wrong item. I contacted VIVO customer service and they informed me that they'd had shipping issues with the larger piece and that they decided to cut the single top piece down into three pieces to make it easier to ship. That's all well and good but as of the writing of this review there was no indication on the listing that it had changed the design/version.So this new one...1.) It is much more difficult to put together. You have to attach four metal braces to connect the three top pieces together. The new screw holes are not the nice metal threaded ones of the leg screw holes and are VERY tight. I managed but you need some major hand strength to do these. Additionally you'll need your own screw driver of the appropriate size because the provided allen wrench only fits the leg screws.2.) I'm a little worried that it's not going to be as sturdy either. The materials are well made in and of themselves. I don't think the quality of the materials has changed. However, the cuts in the top piece are almost exactly in the center of each section (see images) and although the braces are well made, it just seems like the exact worst place to have a stress point...right where you're going to be setting things on it!3.) Although this might not be the biggest deal...it simply doesn't look as nice. The seams really mess with the aesthetic appeal of this piece. I really liked the look of the solid piece and seeing the seams just makes it look cheaper.

Colours are as shown. Great size for a larger desk and plenty of storage space underneath.

I was needing this to raise a medium sized TV in a bedroom. A little surprised when I saw the small box, but it made sense when opened. You have to put the two pieces together with brackets, probably more sturdy than one large piece. Very happy with my purchase.

Matches my Ikea black desk perfectly. Some unfortunate albiet subtle branding at the front. Can be hidden by rotating the stand. Its what I was hoping for, and at a price thats well worth it.
