A Stand Laptop Stand -- $ 55.00| Buy it here
For those wanting to add a bit of industrial aesthetic to their desktop, look no further than the A Stand Laptop Stand, which is literally made of PVC pipe. That doesn’t sound so great from the start, but it’s finished in a soft touch rubber so it feels great and doesn’t look like it came straight from the hardware store.
Materials: Rubber-coated PVC tubing
Colors: Black, Yellow, White
Dimensions: 14.2” wide and 6” high
Bonus! The packaging for this product is brilliant.

Dimensions: 8.5″D x 13″H
(or you can buy it here for $69.99.)
