Tools you may need
- None (most models)
Steps
- Clear the desk spot and set the riser base level.
- For adjustable columns, preset the height so the screen top meets eye level.
- Seat the monitor or laptop centered on the platform.
- Test stability with a gentle push, then route cables through any cable channels.
Maintenance
Re-tighten column collars yearly; wobble means the lock ring has backed off. (Suggested interval: every 1 year.)
