Monitor Risers

Raise your display and organise your desk

Platform size

Measure the monitor’s base and compare it with the riser’s usable top surface. The support must remain fully stable on the platform.

Height and clearance

Compare the stated riser height and the space underneath. Make sure a keyboard or accessory will actually fit before planning storage there.

Material and load

Check the model’s material and load limit. Glass and metal platforms must be handled and used according to their own instructions.

Before you order

Place the riser on a level, stable surface. Allow space for cables and avoid placing equipment where it overhangs or blocks ventilation. Raising a screen can help position it, but the correct viewing height depends on your seating and individual workspace.

Choose a platform for the original monitor base

A monitor riser supports the display on its existing foot. Compare the shape and dimensions of that foot with the usable top surface, not just the monitor’s screen diagonal. Check that all contact points sit securely on the platform. If you plan to place a laptop, printer or other device on the riser, compare its own dimensions and weight with the stated capacity and intended use.

Plan your desk layout

Measure the space behind and beside the platform for cables and other equipment. If you want to store a keyboard beneath it, compare the keyboard width and height with the actual opening. Allow room to slide the keyboard out comfortably. Raising the display changes its position relative to your chair, so consider the resulting screen height and viewing distance before ordering a particular platform.

Use the available surface carefully

Keep the supported load within the product specification and distribute equipment as instructed. Avoid resting a device on an edge or leaving part of its base unsupported. Cable tension can disturb a small desk setup, so provide a relaxed route to the sockets. Check the platform and its feet after assembly and place it on a level surface. Keep glass platforms clear of impacts and follow the model’s handling guidance.

Common question

Is a riser a VESA monitor arm? No. A riser supports equipment on a platform; a monitor arm attaches to a compatible mounting pattern. See our Monitor Mounts collection for arms.
