Typically, I’m OK with just a regular stand, but there’s no denying the value in making more use of the space you’re taking up anyway. Specifically as it relates to me, I have an older HP ENVY 27-b114 AiO PC as one of my secondary systems that I both need to raise up as well as increase the accessibility of its USB ports. This 3M stand offers 3 USB 2.0 (white) ports and 1 USB 3.0 (blue) port as part of its hub from one USB 3.0 cable. Of course, you can still plug the cable into a USB 2.0 port, but won’t get the full speed or bandwidth you can from using a 3.0 port.

The height is adjustable with simple snap-in risers from 2.7 inches to 3.9 inches. There’s 18.4 inches of space between the legs, which take a good bit of force to pop in, but are quite stable once fully inserted. All of this room is handy, of course, and is particularly useful for how I want to use it as you can see in the photos. While I’ll never hit the weight limit of roughly 33 lbs., it’s nice to know it can withstand such a load.

The USB hub itself works well, with no issues in my testing. Throughput is consistent with my expectations for each of the port types.

If you’re looking for a quality monitor stand that does just a bit more, the 3M Adjustable Monitor Stand with 4-Port USB Hub does a good job at a reasonable price for this type of product.
