Rostmary Wooden Cell Phone Holder Tablet Stand for Desktop – Ideal for iPhone, iPad, Samsung, Tablet PCs, eReaders, Artwork, Make-up Mirror, Photo Frame Stand – Lightweight Docking Station

I am using this as a "now playing" stand. Works great for 7" music albums but your 10" ones won't fit on.It looks good, got a charming natural touch and it is pretty stable.

Sturdy and looks great

One of the legs came off. I need to glue back on. I do like the natural look and feel of it.

I am extremely happy with this purchase, and it comes with an unexpected surprise (more on that later). First, however, I commend Rostmary Gifts for outstanding customer service, which deserves more than five stars. I ordered two of this item one each for my office and kitchen, but received only one. I contacted the seller, and received a prompt reply, and a second holder was shipped out and arrived within a few days.Second, this little holder, although lightweight, exceeded my expectations. It was tightly packaged in a small box, protected with shred, inside a second small box. My first impression was not entirely positive because it was small and felt too lightweight for the price. There is an old saying that "good things come in small packages", and that applies to this holder! I will be buying more for gifts for friends' birthdays coming soon.I own a 5V J.C. Power 1000 external charger that I love and take with me when I leave my home or office (I have given many as gifts), but I needed the convenience of a charging "stand" so my cell phone would be upright for viewing in my office or in the kitchen.This was the fifth cell phone holder I purchased to accommodate charging my Blackberry Classic with a Stilgut book-like leather case (I am a Blackberry hold-out :). The first two were metal and were supposed to "auto charge" back to back with my phone through the thickness of the leather case while the USB cable was attached to the bottom of the device. Neither one charged at all, even with the front cover of the case hanging open, and even when the case was removed, which was inconvenient anyway. Both were returned.The third model also was metal and had a cylinder that snapped into grooves of another cylinder for adjustable height options, but the lowest height was too high for comfortable viewing. It, too, was returned. The fourth model had a fixed micro-USB port at the bottom of the device wherein my phone's micro-USB port was to fit into. No amount of adjustment made it work with or without the leather case (as a side note, I read countless complaints about those fixed micro-USB ports that when pulling the phone out of them, sometimes the port came with it and remained attached to the bottom of the phone). The fourth one also was returned.This little wooden holder from Rostmary Gifts has a nice wood stain with no rough edges (this review does not give me an option to attach a photo). My Blackberry sits at a perfect height and angle two inches from the desktop. Also, I don't need to remove the book-like case leather case, and the front cover can fold behind the phone, which is how I use it. A huge convenience is that when I plug the micro-USB cable into the bottom of my phone, the wooden stand leaves plenty of space (2" verticaly) that puts no tensio on the cable or stress on the port.Saving the best for last, the surprise is that when my phone is upright, I have a consistent 4-5 "bars" of reception (my carrier is AT&T). When my phone is flat on my desktop or on the kitchen countertop, I am lucky to see three bars, so people say I am "cutting out" of the conversation, or they hear an echo. I do have many windows in my office and home, so I don't know what the reception would be like in a basement or room with four walls and no windows.If Rostmary Gifts reads this review, my only (constructive) comment is to place tiny rubber or silicone (rather than plastic) discs on the bottom in four places to prevent the holder from easily moving around when reading a text or making a call-back.I highly recommend purchasing this item.

Solid wood stand

I like this stand even if it has a few problems. The one I recieved wobbled on a flat surface, I had to add a stickers on the bottom to even it out. You do have to be alright with the same angle all the time - but it is good for being able to loop a charging cord through it, best feature besides the nice wooden aesthetic.

I am very happy with this! I didn't buy it as a phone stand though. I wanted it to hold/display a crystal I purchased as a gift. The crystal is oddly shaped, with dimensions and weight very similar to that of a cell phone in a thick case. This completes the gift perfectly. It is lightweight, but I don't see this being a problem as long as the crystal is kept away from areas of high activity. I was afraid the stand would look cheap, but it really doesn't, not at all. Glad I bought it!

Pros: As shown, I can easily stand my phone upright with both charger cord and headphones plugged in, no fussing around, which makes this a shockingly rare design. While very lightweight, it is also well structured at no risk of falling over. I love its minimalistic, handmade wooden look. Nice stain color. And it's obviously very affordable.Cons: It arrived with one of the arms having dislodged from its socket, but it was no trouble to fix with superglue. It also could've been sanded a bit smoother; I can feel the wood is slightly coarse, but it won't scratch my desk, at least. I might put some felt dots on the bottom someday just in case.Overall, minor flaws like these are to be expected in a cheap product, and these are insignificant compared to the outstanding design, so I think it'd be unfair to rate this product any less than 5 stars. I highly recommend it.
