Targus PA230U Compact Universal Monitor Stand 
2008-07-29
The laptop and docking station fits underneath the monitor stand with room to spare. It works very well. The only issue I have with it is, the stand is not adjustable. I have it sitting on a normal height desk. I am tall and it is still higher than it should be. I find that I am looking up at the monitor instead of level.
Targus PA235U Universal Monitor Stand - Black

Excellent product! Perfect fit. I'm very happy and my desk area looks very well put together!!
great for my 17" LCD 2007-07-19
i would estimate that this would be perfect for an LCD monitor up to about 21". above that, considering that this thing is 100% plastic, the bottom support beam would probably crack if the monitor tilted too far to either side.
It gets the job done for me because all i really wanted was something to lift my monitor about 7" without having to use a shoebox or phonebooks. and now i also have some storage space for my extra desk junk.
Great for the money! 2007-07-09
Very functional design. Be sure to measure your laptop though. My IBM ThinkPad barely fits because of the width.
Sturdy but not versatile 
2007-06-27
The good news is that it's made of strong rugged plastic supports. The bad news is that it's not very versatile, meaning you can't raise or lower it without dismantling it, you can't tilt and if you secure it tightly like it should be, it doesn't swivel.
The middle tray is practically useless. The size and shape are pointless. It may hold pens and pencils but not a normal size keyboard for storage. The could have designed this feature to be of more practical use.
I quit using mine, put it in the closet and found a laptop riser from Fellowes that suits me fine.
This product works ONLY as a monitor stand that allows you to raise your small crt or flatscreen up a little. It doesn't work well with laptops in my opinion.
Nice but not that great 2007-06-20
The Targus 6-inch tall computer monitor stand featuring a built-in, wheeled slide out tray that gives you quick and easy access to all ports, drives, bays, and PC Card slots through its open architecture design. The Targus computer monitor stand features the same shape and design as the current 8 inch tall monitor stand, yet it can still hold up to a 100 lb monitor, setting it at an ergonomically correct height allowing up to an extra 1 1/2 square feet of valuable desk space.
Great monitor stand 2007-05-14
I was looking for something I could put my monitor on with room underneath for my laptop, and this one is great. Even if your computer needs to be opened slightly for it to work, it still fits. There's even a tray to slide the laptop out, although the cords do get in the way, making this difficult. The stand is very sturdy so I'm not nervous about putting my monitor on top of it. The only drawback for me is that I'm short and the stand raises my monitor a bit higher than I'd like. It has extenders to raise the stand even further, but it would be nice if it had shorter legs, too. Otherwise, it's great, and gives me a lot more room on my desk.
Inaccurate discription

This stand was returned because the description said it would hold up to 50 pounds. It would not hold that nor anywhere near that amount of weight.
Targus monitor stand = great buy 2007-05-05
Love it. Am using it with the extra extended height/legs. I use it to place a regular 15" LCD on top, and store my laptop and dock underneath. Looked a bit bulky/big at first, but after a few months of working with it, the large size makes it easy to accomodate monitors of many different sizes. Have greatly reduced my neck strain at work, no longer looking down at the screen on my laptop.
I'm using it right now. 2007-02-23
My laptop has a 15" screen, and has great resolution. My company was going to give me a CRT as the monitor with the docking station. Now my laptop screen is at the right height to see, and I won't get eye strain from a CRT. One unexpected benefit is that now, the laptop keyboard is at the perfect height when I'm standing, showing something on the puter to a coworker. It also pivots quite well. Save the money on an extra LCD and get this!
