For a summary, see [llms.txt](https://stood.it/llms.txt) --- ## About stood stood is a European micro brand born in 2015 in Piedmont, Italy. The brand designs and manufactures minimal, eco-friendly wooden stands from FSC-certified European beech wood. Every product is handmade in a small workshop — CNC-cut from European beech plywood, then refined and polished manually by hand. The brass stamps used for burn-stamping the logo are made by Italian artisans. The brand philosophy is simple: affordable, well-designed, sustainable accessories without corporate hype. stood is modern, minimal, artsy, handcrafted — an indie micro brand, not a corporation. ### Why beech wood? European beech is a hard, dense, durable wood that's ideal for everyday objects. FSC certification (Forest Stewardship Council) means the wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests — forests that are maintained for biodiversity, productivity, and ecological processes. Beech is naturally light in colour and takes well to finishing, making it beautiful in its raw state. ### Why Italy? The workshop is located in Lequio Berria, a small village in the Langhe hills of Piedmont, Italy. This region is known for its artisan traditions. Proximity to European beech forests keeps the supply chain short. All production, finishing, quality control, branding, and packaging happens in-house. ### Key Facts - Founded: 2015 - Location: Via San Michele 18, 12050 Lequio Berria (CN), Piedmont, Italy - Materials: FSC-certified European beech wood - Production: CNC-cut, hand-refined and polished in-house - Shipping: Worldwide (EU, US, Asia and beyond) - Website: https://stood.it - Contact: info@stood.it - Languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Swedish --- ## Products — Complete Specifications ### A Wooden Laptop Stand — €22.00 - URL: https://stood.it/products/laptop-stand - Category: Home + Office - Material: European Beech (FSC-certified) - Description: A laptop stand made of two simple parts of beech wood that assemble into a cross.

Handmade from FSC-certified European beech wood in a small workshop in Piedmont, Italy. Designed for ergonomic comfort and sustainable living. Ships worldwide. **What are stood stands made of?** All stood products are handcrafted from FSC-certified European beech wood. The design uses two wooden parts that assemble into a cross, with a silicone band to secure your device. Materials are eco-friendly and sourced from responsibly managed forests across Europe. **How does the laptop stand work?** Two beech wood parts assemble into a cross shape, creating a natural 15° tilt. When not in use, disassemble and attach to your laptop with the included silicone band for transport. **What is the 15° ergonomic angle?** The cross-shaped design creates a natural 15° tilt that improves typing posture, reduces neck and wrist strain, and helps with laptop airflow and overheating. ### Products **What laptops does it work with?** The stand works with all laptop models from 10 to 15 inches. Choose Slim for laptops up to 2 cm thick (MacBooks, Dell XPS, Surface Laptop), or Big Boned for thicker laptops from 2.4 cm (ThinkPads, gaming laptops). **Which variant should I choose — Slim or Big Boned?** Measure the thickest part of your closed laptop lid. If it's up to ~2 cm → Slim. If ~2.4 cm or more → Big Boned. The Slim fits all MacBook models and most modern ultrabooks. The Big Boned fits thicker or older laptops. **Does it work with MacBook Pro 14/16?** Yes. All MacBook models (Air, Pro 13, Pro 14, Pro 16) fit the Slim variant perfectly. **Can I use it without the silicone band?** Yes. The silicone band is included for transport (keeping the two parts attached to your laptop lid). The stand works independently without the band when assembled on a desk. **How do I care for the wood?** Keep the stand dry and avoid prolonged direct sunlight. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth if needed. European beech is durable — with normal use it holds up well. **What's in the box?** Each laptop stand includes: 2 beech wood parts (burn stamped), 1 hi-quality silicone band, 4 laptop stickers, and 1 instructions paper.
