Just realized my old monitor riser was a stack of books for 3 years before I built one for $8
Ngl I had this beat up paperback collection holding up my second monitor since like 2018. It wobbled every time I typed but I just got used to it. Last week I finally grabbed a 2x4 from Home Depot for $4 and some screws I had laying around and made a proper L shaped riser in like 20 minutes. Works way better and honestly looks kinda cool with the dark stain I put on it. Kinda mad I waited that long. Anyone else have a ghetto setup they just tolerated for way too long?

Yeah, @perez.thea, that "cheap riser cracking the monitor veneer" thing is a real worry. I've seen those basic plastic ones warp after a few months of heat from the monitor. Best to just get a solid wood or metal stand if you can.
