Once the school year starts
it seems like your desk
becomes your everything—
and the clutter is not always
manageable. Give your new
iMac or PC monitor a lift,
away from the mess, with
Understands. Understands
has created a monitor stand
that captures the beauty of
nature, while also having a
totally functional design.
The owner at Understands,
Mike Fisher, has always had a
love for wood, and in 2015 he
was just looking to declutter
his desk, so he built a stand
to help him do that—that's
when Understands was born.
Today they currently offer six
different collections that aim
to get rid of cable clutter and
organize your desk much
better. So whether you are
looking for a shelf for the back
of your monitor—somewhere
to put external hard drives—
or a dual monitor stand for
multiple monitors, they've
got it! While all the collections
are different, they are all
made with sustainable urban
Evo – The Live Edge Collection by Understands
wood—a natural cut—and
have a modern industrial
look. This is not some wimpy
monitor stand, it's sturdy and
will last you a lifetime.
The Live Edge Collection
currently has 16 different
styles—each unique and
versatile in its own way. They
come in different tones of
wood, after all, not all trees
are alike. Some stands have a
light tone (ash), others come
in a darker tone (walnut).
They also come in different
shapes and with an optional
7
drawer for extra storage.
Use the drawer to store
earbuds, cables, keys, pens,
notepads, USB-drives, and
any other small item that
might end up on your desk at
the end of the day. Because
there is an elevation, there
is an additional space below
the drawer—this is a great
space to slide a keyboard and
mouse, that way you get back
some surface area when you
are not using your computer.
