About
I run our price-to-performance sweeps—finding durable, repairable stands that hit fit windows without overspend.
Core Beliefs
Great value is engineered: spend where it matters, skip the fluff.
Background
In school, I worked from a wobbling shoebox "stand" because the fancy riser I bought dug into my budget and failed within months. Returning it taught me where money actually matters: materials at stress points, hinge design, and warranty. Value isn't cheap; it's engineered trade-offs you can justify.
Perspective
I prefer simple mechanisms and serviceable parts over sleek complexity.
