Problem: So this Lazy Old Geek finished up my bed frame with lots of storage. Being Lazy and Old, I like to lie down more than sit up and being a Geek, I like to surf the internet and play on my laptop. AHA! I need a laptop stand. Well, a quick search and I find another Instructables that is very close by ‘jumpfroggy’.

JumpFroggy’s is much better looking and robust then mine. But it’s also similar so I will focus on differences, development problems and solutions.
This would be great for students on a tight budget, who need an alternative to a desk chair.

Signing UpStep 1Attaching Velcro to laptop
I put this step first because you may decide you don’t want to do this Instructable. Turn over your laptop and find two areas along the sides that you can put two strips of Velcro. Stay away from anything that looks like ventilations holes. Try to stay away from screws and access plates but not so critical. The strips should be parallel to the sides and about eight inches long. Attach the double sticky Velcro softer side to the laptop and measure how far in from the sides the tape starts.
If you don’t want to do this step, you should look for a different way to attach the laptop or alter the design or search for a more suitable design.

I've been using my stand for several years and still like it.

I borrowed lots of the design from web searching but liked the idea of using PVC as something I with limited mechanical skills could build and afford.
