GRIFEMA GB1054 Adjustable Laptop Stand for Desk (7 Angle Levels) – Portable Riser for 10–17.3 inch laptops and tablets
Product description
What it is and why you’d use it
The GRIFEMA GB1054 is a desk laptop stand designed to lift your screen and change the viewing angle. On paper, it’s aimed at the everyday stuff: getting your laptop up a bit so your posture feels less cramped, and making it easier to work comfortably for longer stretches.
Because it’s both adjustable and portable (it folds and comes with a carry bag), it also fits a pretty common UK routine: office or home desk on weekdays, then travel for work, study days, or the occasional desk-in-the-airport type of setup. It’s not trying to replace a full monitor arm setup, it’s more like the “quick fix” riser you can move around.
The essentials: adjustability, stability and heat
This stand offers 7 levels of angle adjustment, with a stated minimum and maximum angle of 10° to 40°. That range is useful because desk comfort isn’t one-size-fits-all: if your current setup has the screen too flat, or you need a slightly steeper view to reduce neck strain, having multiple positions helps you dial it in.
For stability, the design uses a triangle support approach, plus non-slip silicone pads and little feet intended to stop the stand sliding. That matters because a stand that shifts even a little while you type is just annoying (and potentially distracting).
It also has a hollow design to support heat dissipation. This is one of those features that’s easy to overlook, but it can be relevant for laptops that run warm—raising the base can help airflow rather than trapping heat against the desk.
Where it really fits (and a micro example)
It suits you if you regularly use a laptop or tablet between 10” and 17.3” on a desk and want a simple way to improve viewing comfort. For instance, imagine you’re doing a few hours of spreadsheet work: you place the GB1054 on the desk, slide the laptop onto the support, then use one of the angle positions to bring the screen closer to eye level. After that, you’re not leaning forward as much, and the desk layout feels more “intentional” without needing any extra desk furniture.
If you also work away from home, the folded size and bag make it easier to take with you rather than leaving it behind.
Potential limits to keep in mind
Even with a good angle range, it can be a bit too basic if your goal is a fully optimised workstation. For example, if you need fine control over height (not just angle) or you’re trying to match a very specific ergonomics setup, a riser like this may feel limited.
Also, while it’s described as compatible with laptops and tablets in the 10–17.3” range, the best fit will still depend on how your device sits on the stand. If you use a particularly bulky case or you prefer a tighter, more secure placement, it’s worth being a bit cautious.

Mini FAQ
How adjustable is it in practice?
With 7 angle levels spanning 10° to 40°, it’s designed for comfort tuning rather than one fixed position.
Will it work with both laptops and tablets?
It’s stated as compatible with laptops and tablets within the 10–17.3” range, so it should cover many common devices.
Does it help with laptop heat?
The hollow design is intended to promote heat dissipation, which can help reduce the feeling of heat build-up on the desk.
Is it suitable for travel?
Yes, it folds and includes a carry bag, and it’s listed as lightweight and compact when folded.
Should you buy it?
Buying verdict
It’s a solid pick if you want a portable, adjustable laptop stand for everyday desk work, especially if you prefer using angle adjustment to get a more comfortable viewing position. It’s also worth considering if heat build-up is something you notice and you like the idea of airflow while your laptop is raised.
It may not be the best choice if you’re chasing a highly adjustable ergonomic workstation (particularly if you need height control beyond what this type of riser offers) or if your device doesn’t naturally sit securely within the 10–17.3” compatibility range.
For most people, this type of stand is the practical middle ground: better than working flat on the desk, simpler than a complex mounting setup. Just double-check your laptop/tablet size and how it sits on the support before you commit.
