2025.10.04 – Adjustable Laptop Stand with Side Tray — Photo, Identification, and Setup Guide

1) Summary

A photograph shows a black, multi-hinge adjustable laptop stand with a detachable side tray. The guide identifies the parts, explains how to set angles using the detented hinges, shows how to mount the tray, and lists stability tips.

2) Context and Scope

This guide is based solely on what is visible in the single photograph of the device and direct, practical setup instructions derived from those visible details. It uses English only and includes no personal identifiers or external links.

3) Exhaustive Narrative of Facts

3.1 What the photograph shows

• A black, Z-shaped stand on light wood flooring next to a dark piece of furniture at the left edge of the frame.
• Three large detented hinges with angle markings along the main arms.
• A main platform made of plastic; its underside has a square grid pattern and a central mounting bracket.
• A perforated metal plate intended as a side tray.
• A short, narrow arm attached lower on the structure; it ends in a circular hole for fastening the tray.
• Toes appear at the bottom edge of the frame; no faces or other identifying features are present.

3.2 Identification and intended use

• The device is an adjustable laptop table, often used on beds, sofas, or desks.
• The plastic platform is the laptop surface; the side tray is typically used as a mouse surface.

3.3 Orientation and assembly

• Place the stand so the smooth face of the plastic platform is upward; the grid face remains underneath.
• Attach the side tray by aligning its mounting hole with the hole on the short arm and fastening with the supplied thumb screw or bolt.
• The tray can sit on either side; level it after fastening.

3.4 Adjusting height and angles

• Each round hinge locks by pressing the hinge button, rotating to the desired marked angle, and releasing to engage the detents.
• Match the left and right angles to keep the stand balanced.
• Example configurations:
• Low sofa or bed use: bottom hinge about 60 degrees, middle hinge about 120 degrees, platform tilt about 10–20 degrees.
• Standing use on a table: bottom hinge about 30–45 degrees, middle hinge about 60–75 degrees, platform about 0–10 degrees.

3.5 Stability and safety notes

• Center the laptop over the middle of the Z to reduce tipping.
• If the kit includes edge stoppers or clips, install them so the laptop cannot slide when the platform is tilted.
• Recheck hinge engagement after adjustments; if a hinge does not click into place, press the button again and rotate slightly until it locks.

4) Practical Takeaways

• Smooth face up, grid face down; the perforated plate is the side tray.
• Use the hinge markings to reproduce stable, symmetric positions.
• Bolt the tray through the short arm’s hole; choose left or right as preferred.
• Keep the mass centered and use stoppers when tilting.
