Description
Slow Road HomeSome of us long for belonging to the land, for roots in particular and special places where, for reasons usually beyond our knowing, we resonate with the landscape. For those who have lived other places only to discover home in the Blue Ridge Mountains, there is a mystery and allure that draws them there. This pull First describes as a "magnetic resonance in our bones that pulls us toward an altitude, latitude and slant of sun that simply feels right
Some of us long for belonging to the land, for roots in particular and special places where, for reasons usually beyond our knowing, we resonate with the landscape. For those who have lived other places only to discover home in the Blue Ridge Mountains, there is a mystery and allure that draws them there. This pull First describes as a "magnetic resonance in our bones that pulls us toward an altitude, latitude and slant of sun that simply feels right for us like no place else." For such souls "the mountains hold a nutrient that we can not live without." At fifty four, the author left his profession in healthcare to explore where it was that he lived; for a time, this became what he did for a living. The daily discipline of intentional immersion in small wonders close at hand ultimately grew to become the story of the book, a celebration of one special mountain place that seems to have been waiting all his life for the author to find, to know and to share. Slow Road Home a Blue Ridge Book of Days was published by Goose Creek Press in April, 2006. The author's background as naturalist, teacher and photographer inform this collection of more than a hundred lyrical essays and stories, many originally shared with weblog readers in the author's weblog, Fragments from Floyd. Slow Road Home is a book to read slowly as it unfolds through the seasons. Readers have commented that having read through once, they intend to read it again. Another reader states that Slow Road stays by her bedside where "it just makes me thankful and at peace, and I go to bed looking forward to what the next morning will bring." If you live in or long for the southern mountains, the pages of this book will remind you of the unique sights, sounds and smells of Virginia's Appalachian hills and home. Fred First is a physical therapist who practices part time at a clinic near Radford, Virginia and teaches as adjunct faculty for the biology department at Radford University. He lives on the headwaters of the Roanoke River in a remote part of Floyd County, Virginia, with his wife Ann and yellow lab, Tsuga.Binding Type: Paperback

Simple upgrade that actually improves your setup
Color: Black
I didn’t expect much from a laptop stand, but this made a noticeable difference right away. It lifts the laptop to a much better eye level, which helps a lot with posture—especially if you’re working for a few hours at a time.
The build quality is solid. It’s aluminum, has a bit of weight to it, and doesn’t feel cheap. Once it’s on the desk, it stays in place. The rubber grips hold the laptop securely, and I haven’t had any slipping issues.
I’m using it with a MacBook Pro and it fits perfectly. There’s enough space underneath for airflow, and I’ve actually noticed the laptop runs a bit cooler compared to sitting flat on the desk.
Overall, it’s a simple product but very effective. One of those small upgrades that you end up appreciating every day.

I like it just fine. It’s good and it works for me.
Color: Black
It’s sturdy and I like the design. Seems pretty comparable to every other MacBook stand, but I chose this one for some reason and I’m happy with it. The height is not adjustable, so if you want that find another one.

Great computer stand
Color: Gray
These stands are great. We now have two of them. My wife suffers from Carple tunnel syndrome and these stands lesson the effects when typing. They are stable and hold the computer securely.

Weighty and well designed
Color: Gray
The Bestand Laptop Stand is a testament to quality and thoughtful design.
From an ergonomic perspective, this stand truly shines. It elevates my laptop screen to eye level, promoting better typing and viewing to reduce strain on my back and neck.
Another standout feature is the weighty and solid construction of this stand. It's crafted from a single piece of aluminum, which not only adds to the stand sturdiness but also gives it a sleek, modern look. The surface is spacious and accommodates laptops from 11 to 16 inches.
Both the weight of the stand and the silicone treads below and underneath the laptop, and on a metal lip in front, ensure that neither the stand nor the computer move around. The manufacturer claims a 66-pound load-bearing capacity for the stand, and I believe it. This thing is rugged.
The inclusion of a slot at the rear for cables to pass through is a small yet incredibly practical detail. It helps keep my workspace organized and tidy.
Three slots in the stand aid with heat dissipation and are yet another thoughtful design feature that cools my laptop during extended usage.
While the stand excels in many respect, one limitation is its lack of height adjustability. However, if height adjustability is important to you, you’ll find lots of other options for stands here on Amazon.
Bottom line: I like it. Chances are, you will too. The Bestand Laptop Stand is a nice blend of durability, functionality, ergonomic comfort, and attractiveness—all at a reasonable price.

Pleasantly Surprised
Color: Gray
Honestly, I was a little hesitant buying a laptop stand that didn't offer an adjustable angle, but for the price, I couldn't pass up checking this out. I'm very glad I did.
First, this stand came really well packaged. For a $37 stand, I wasn't expecting much, but box and packaging was impressive. After pulling the stand out of the box, my first impression was this was both weighty and well machined. The edges were smooth, there were no imperfections I could find and the space gray color was dead-on.
As far as functionality goes, this is a tremendous improvement form having my MacBook Air sitting directly on my desk; the angle is perfect for my use case, the wiring hole in the back is more than adequate and the whole setup just looks slick. If you're hesitant about buying a cheaper stand that doesn't offer an adjustable angle, don't worry about this one, it does the trick.
