Computer Stand
Purpose
FOP Community Member Laura Rossano created this custom computer stand to meet her unique needs in the workplace.
“I wanted to be able to work without hurting my neck by always looking down since I needed the keyboard at a different height than my computer monitor. I needed my computer screen, a different height than my desk. So a family friend measured the height that I needed and used wood, but then also made me a shelf underneath that I was able to put pictures in. And I went nice with the aesthetic of my desk. Also at the bottom, I’m able to put the keyboard underneath and then use that spot as a workstation to write. It has made my life at work so much easier and no longer causes a pain in my neck or a strain.”
