North Monitor Riser Stand with USB Ports: Desk Accessories MDF Hardware

Are we here looking for desk risers or a USB charger, because if the goal/requirement is needing a fast USB charger, then I think people should be searching for 'usb fast chargers', not 'monitor stands'. I also dont see why I would 'remove a star' for the height since I knew the height of this before buying it. If the product ends up being too low to too high, I dont see how that's the products fault when we all knew the dimensions before buying. Like, was the product supposed to magically morph into the dimensions a specific person needed upon opening? Well, that technoglogy doesnt exist. The USB hub is *****CLEARLY****** meant to be a USB hub, not a USB charger. I know Target states 'charge your devices' in the description, so it is on them for not being more clear. A typical usb hub IS low-powered because the intent is for connecting devices like keyboards, USB mice and mice receivers, bluetooth dongles, thumbdrives, etc. A typical usb hub is not really meant for charging ipads and Android phones. (If you could fast-charge devices with a usb hub, then why wouldnt everyone on the planet just buy an $9 usb hub rather than $30+ docks and cables to charge multiple devices?). Even if you connect a fast charger block to the USB-C input, its NOT going to fast-charge. Depending on the block/cable combination you use, you will either get slow-charging, or it will seemingly not work at all. If your entire motivation is that whatever it is you buy HAS to be able to fast-charge your iphone, then this is NOT it. With a regular old USB charging block and usb-c cable, my (2025) phone will slow charge on these ports. But I'm never using it for that anyway because I have a dedicated charger for my phone on my desk. You know... the desk that I needed a riser for.... because at the end of the day we're still talking about a desk riser. Instead I am connecting my laptop to the hub so that I can have 3 more USB ports, which for me does come in handy and helps keep my desk organized. The entire reason I even bought this is to put my laptop on it and its more than perfect for that need, the USB hubs are just a bonus. For $25, its not the cheapest riser (nor most expensive) but it looks better than the cheap/er ones. What you see in the photos is exactly what you get.

I bought two of these for my WFH desk and they’re perfect. Just enough space underneath to tuck in my laptop after hours and a notebook. Haven’t had much use for the USB ports yet but I’m sure I will eventually.

Lightweight, slim and fits my monitor great.

It is a functional monitor stand; however, the charging aspect is a complete joke. It says on the bottom that the input is 2.1 amps at 5 volts. Each individual USB port only charges at 2.5 watts. That is a joke even for 20 years ago. I recommend it as a stand only, and the product adds zero value for the USB ports.

I really like the light wood tones of this riser stand, giving it a modern feel with total functionality. It’s the perfect height for eye-level and the built in USB ports are a huge plus! It’s been great in our office!!

This is a simple riser with usb ports. It doesn't raise my monitor that much higher, which is why I knocked off a star. Some drawers would have been nice in the negative space. It is solid, holds my monitor up just fine.

The monitor riser stand has a nice simple aesthetic and it seems sturdy enough. I like the wood finish but find the plastic parts to cheapen the look slightly. It raises my monitor just as I needed and gives a slight bit of space underneath to tuck away a small keyboard and accessories when I need desk space. The USB ports were finicky when trying to charge my phone and I probably won't be using them for that reason. I would recommend the stand for its basic functionality but would be cautious if you need the USB functionality.

The North monitor stand riser is great for all desks. This stand has four built-in USB-A ports. It came with the stand, instructions, and a C-cord to plug in the stand. The quality of this stand is very sturdy! It comes in a very nice light-colored wood. The bottom of the stand legs have grip pads, which prevent them from slipping. I definitely recommend this stand!

I really like this monitor riser. It has 4 USB ports, so I can easily plug in everything I need to. It’s very sturdy, a great quality, and helps create space with my computer. I can store my keyboard under it when I’m not using it, saving space!

Love this, my understand it makes my monitor a perfect eye level. I thought it keeps an area underneath the monitor so I can store post its and my note pad. Having the USB board on the side, makes it so much easier with less cords and more organized and clutter free on my desk

A monitor stand is just what I needed to WFH. It eases my neck and back pain from constantly leaning downwards and also helps my eyes as they’re able to look into the monitor at a more straight angle. There are also 4 USB-A ports physically built in to the stand which makes for great multi-use; It’s great! I also love the sleek and modern wood color and design. Highly recommend!

This thing feels cheap. The USB situation is a big letdown: you only get 4 USB-A ports, no USB-C output ports to actually use, despite there being a USB-C input. Crucially, there's no power supply, meaning poor power management. Don't expect to charge anything fast or get any Thunderbolt action. It's really just a basic stand.

This is a simple monitor stand. It will raise your monitor height by roughly 3" and provide 3 USB-A ports to charge your devices. It is a nice light wood tone and would likely blend into any setting with style. That said, there are two issues with it: 1) power and 2) adjustability. On the power front, it consumes power via a USB-C plug. There is an adaptor cord provided, but all this does is limit the power throughput. The other issue is that devices are increasingly using USB-C plugs, not USB-A plugs. USB-A plugs have a power limit, so your attached devices will charge very slowly. On the adjustability issue, there is no adjustability. If you need just over 3" of height, this is for you. If you need more or less, this is not for you.

I think that this is a really great monitor stand. It was easy to set up. I really like how it comes with a usb spot on the side. You can turn it either way so the usb is to the left or right. It fits perfect for my iMac computer and it would be great for any other small computer as well.

The riser creates a space to put a phones, pens, notebook, etc. which is great if your desk doesn't have a drawer. The USB port is helpful for charging multiple devices in one spot. So convenient! It much longer than I expected. It fits my laptop and mouse with a bit of wiggle room too. The color is a standard natural wood and pairs well with a white desk.
