DIY Monitor Stand

The challenge:  Find my friend a stylish monitor stand / notebook dock.  It was harder to find than I thought.  A trip to Staples, Office Depot, and Office Max turned up bulky plastic eyesores that would have taken up too much desk space.

Plan B: Design a stylish monitor stand / notebook dock.  The Container Store came through with some unusual components, that when combined - create something unique and functional.

What you'll need:

4-Bottle Iron Stacking Wine Rack [10049050]

10-1/8" x 9-3/4" x 10" h

$19.99

Wing Glass Shelf [10049930]

8" x 24" x 1/2" h

$16.99

Clear Dot Adhesive Surface Protectors

-Available at retail, but I couldn't find them online.

Assembly is a breeze - attach the adhesive protectors over the pin holes on the top of the wine rack and center the glass on top.  The weight of the glass is enough to keep it in place.  Rubber ducks are optional.
