Grovemade’s sexy new laptop stand will give you wood at your desk

Grovemade may have gotten its start making high-end wooden iPhone cases, but this Portland-based outfit is no one-trick pony. Over the past year or so, the company has been branching out and expanding its product offerings, making everything from wooden timepieces to desktop accessories. Today, they’re back with yet another sumptuous slab of wood — a hardwood laptop stand.

Similar to Grovemade’s previously-released Monitor Stand, the freshly-announced Laptop Stand is crafted from multiple sheets of wood veneer bent into a graceful, forward-leaning curve. This angled platform boasts ample surface space, raises your computer for improved ergonomics, and creates an area underneath for stowing desktop accessories.

“Bringing increased function and order to your desktop, the Laptop Stand is the perfect complement to any work or home office, making for a distinctive and comfortable way to help you work, watch, or play,” says Ken Tomita, Grovemade’s co-founder. “The Laptop Stand’s unique design, molded and shaped from several sheets of wood, lends a welcoming aesthetic boost to your workspace.”

As you’d expect, the new laptop stand is made from Grovemade’s favorite materials — Eastern Hardrock Maple and Black Oregon Walnut. And that’s not all. For added functionality, each stand also features a precision cut aluminum stop, lined with premium, vegetable-tanned leather, to prevent your laptop from sliding off the stand.

Universally compatible with all laptop models, Grovemade’s Laptop Stand retails at $119 and is available starting today on Grovemade’s website.

You would think that at this point, people would be using stronger passwords. Sorry to disappoint you, but according to NordPass' annual list of the world's most popular passwords, the unoriginal choices are a letdown.

123456 is the back-to-back champ for the most common and easiest password. But on the bright side, at least "password" doesn't have the No. 1 spot like it did in the past. The remaining top spots go to passwords such as:
