"After a long day of working at your computer, the last thing you want is neck, shoulder, and back pain from poor posture while staring at the screen. You can try telling yourself to sit up straight, but your perfect posture won't last long if your monitor is too high or low. If it is too low, it may be time to DIY a monitor stand to raise it to the proper height."
"Even simple monitor stands often cost between $20 and $30, which may be disappointing for budget-conscious buyers. Luckily, YouTuber @Bertina Inspires shows how to create an affordable monitor stand with Dollar Tree materials. Using the Tumbling Tower game wooden blocks, the Large Decorative Hanging Wall Shelf, two Crafter's Square Wooden Crates, and some leftover wood glue and paint, the DIYer spent only $6.25 to complete the project."
"This is a great starting point, but you should tailor the project to your specific needs so your monitor is at the optimal height for your body, reducing back pain and eye strain. To do this, you'll need a measuring tape along with the other materials to measure the distance between the ideal monitor height and your current monitor height."
An affordable monitor stand can be built from inexpensive Dollar Tree items to raise a monitor to proper height and free up storage underneath. Use Tumbling Tower wooden blocks, a Large Decorative Hanging Wall Shelf, two Crafter’s Square Wooden Crates, wood glue, and paint to assemble a stand costing about $6.25. Measure while sitting with proper posture so the top of the monitor sits at or slightly below eye level (lower for bifocals). Adjust block stacking to reach the measured height. For heavy or expensive monitors, reinforce glued joints with small nails or staples and consider using two shelves for extra support.
