The Jelly Comb monitor stand is the $20 desk riser with a personality: width-adjustable legs, a phone cradle, a (comically) tiny drawer, and a look that’s more fun than office furniture has any right to be. Our review, re-checked for 2026 — what it does well, what the drawer photos don’t tell you, and when to spend your twenty dollars elsewhere.

It comes in black and white, and the white is the one to get — it carries that playful jelly vibe the brand name promises, modern and fun at once. The black unit reads noticeably more cheap-plastic; we’d skip it.
What makes the Jelly Comb monitor stand unique?
Desk risers are stationary by nature — no repositioning, no height changes, none of an articulating arm’s tricks. The Jelly Comb shares that limitation but offers one genuinely useful adjustment: width. Four configurations stretch it from 16 to 20.5 inches, wide enough for larger laptops, and you can choose which side gets the little drawer and which gets the phone holder. It won’t adjust in height like some rivals, but it lets you decide how much workspace it spans.
It also has a tiny drawer
Emphasis on tiny. The ads show a small drawer; reality is smaller — pens, pencils, a charger, and that’s the inventory. It’s auxiliary storage for very small items, nothing more. Do not buy this stand for the drawer; you will be disappointed, and we’d rather you hear it from us.
What we liked the most
- The upright cell phone holder is genuinely handy if you work phone-and-laptop simultaneously — notifications visible, both hands free.
- It’s versatile and portable: with adjustable width it moonlights as a notebook holder or a mini TV stand.
- Adjustment is dummy-proof — pull or fold the legs, no manual required.
- The space underneath stores (shorter) keyboards and mice, doubling as a dust cover.
- The 55-lb capacity is honest: stable, no wobble, monitor firmly planted in our testing.
What we hate about it
The phone holder rejects chunky phones and most cases. Both the holder and the drawer are the flimsiest parts of the unit — thin material, and the drawer neither opens nor closes smoothly. And while ours arrived clean, a notable number of buyers report shipping dents; the packaging could try harder.
Overall
As a widen-your-workspace riser, it’s decent: stable, no tipping, and chic in white. The price is the whole verdict — we paid about $20 on sale and that’s the fair number; at the $30 some merchants ask, walk away. It compares closely with the Klearlook riser (also length-adjustable), but the Jelly Comb offers more configurations and a wider deck. One 2026 note: Jelly Comb is an Amazon-native peripherals brand whose listings rotate frequently — if the riser isn’t on the shelf the week you look, the LORYERGO and similar risers in our Loryergo review cover the same brief.
What about the Jelly Comb ergonomic laptop mount
The riser’s weakness — width-only adjustment, no height — is exactly what the brand’s ergonomic laptop stand fixes: nine height configurations, real ergonomic positioning, and an elevated design that lets air circulate under the laptop so it runs cooler, possibly sparing you a cooling pad entirely. Two phone holders (one per side) sweeten it.
The trade-offs: capacity drops to 22 lbs, the width is fixed, and it fits laptops up to 17 inches. Stability is solid, and the mint green colorway is peak Jelly Comb — cool, hip, young. That aesthetic is the brand’s common denominator: every unit perks up a desk.
Final Say
The Jelly Comb desk riser is a simple, honest solution for elevating a laptop and widening a workspace — functionally similar to the LEXVSS stand, with matching capacity. It is not a storage solution, whatever the ads imply: the drawer is a tray with ambitions. For a basic ergonomic lift at a basic price, it suffices happily; for real height adjustment, step up to the brand’s laptop stand or to a proper monitor arm when your setup graduates.
