resistance over time. The bottom pivot moves a full 180 degrees from fully closed against the base to fully open in the direction opposite the base. The top pivot moves from fully closed against the stand to 159 degrees open. The range of motion of the top pivot is limited by the bearing and spring inside of the stand base that holds the retractable lip in place. Based on these ranges there is virtually no position that the stand cannot accommodate, you have the freedom to set the Lululook and the device it is holding any way you want. The stand has 45 holes drilled out in the center 4-24″ x 9″ part of the stand. Each hole is about 11/16″ in diameter. The stand is about 9″ x 10-1/2″ and is entirely covered in silicone. The silicone is cut short from the edge of each hole and from the edge of the stand so that the silicone does not have an edge to start pulling back from the adhesive. The bottom of the stand has an aluminum lip that retracts behind the stand but can be pushed out to the front of the stand so that about 1/2″ is protruding from the base. The inside of the lip is also coated with silicon but this is inset into the lip so there are edges of the lip that could touch whatever is on the stand. The sides of the lip are radiused to reduce the risk of damage. From looking at the inside there appear to be four depth settings for the stand but it doesn’t seem that the spring pushing the bearing into the lip has enough tension. I don’t think that the lip will fall on its own but the tension in the lip doesn’t seem to have the same precise setting as the base rotation or armature positioning. Operation The LULULOOK foldable laptop stand does not come with directions because its use is intuitive. I suppose the only consideration is setting the base as close to the center of the stand as possible so that the whole stand is as stable as possible. What I like • high-quality materials • well-designed rotating bases What I'd change • adjustable tension in the armature • more definitive lip mechanics Final Thoughts I have been using the stand while writing this review using a laptop. I found that positioning the screen at eye level rather than at a position that requires me to look down is a much more comfortable working posture. I suggest that if you are one of the millions who are working from home on a laptop you upgrade your work environment by investing in a stand. the LULULOOK foldable laptop stand is a great option.
