This laptop stand is not actually "made" from anything ... it is just a re-purposed Fellows model 21100 booklift. When used as a booklift, the narrow ledge is nearly horizontal, when used as a laptop stand, the narrow ledge is vertical. I did this to add cooling but got a bonus in a much better angle for my wrists and much better visibility. Since I already had the booklift, this was a no-money deal.

This is the usual orientation for the booklift. It's good for holding books, but lousy for holding a laptop.
