Abstract
A foldable monitor stand includes a top panel, a bottom panel, a support panel, and a base. In an unfolded state of the monitor stand, the support panel is rotated around several hinges to maintain a first angle with the bottom panel, the bottom panel is rotated around one or more hinges to maintain a second angle with the base, and the support panel maintains a third angle with the base. The top panel is connected to the bottom panel. A sliding clip is configured to slide through a tray connected to the back of the top panel. The sliding clip and a shelf connected to the front of the top panel are configured to hold a monitor. The base and the support panel extend backward and are positioned behind the back panel, allowing a laptop to be placed directly below the monitor without placing the laptop on the base.
