Rodin Large Monitor Stand A212 - 42.5" White

I bought this after reading a review mentioning grovemade. I too see all the setups using these £300+ grovemade desk shelves and wanted something similar for a fraction of the cost.

This has a super cool design, was relatively easy to build and looks great overall.

However I have to say despite measuring, I still didn't fully realise how big this bad boy is. Something I didn’t fully think through was the height of it.

For reference the monitor on the left is the 28” Odyssey monitor from Samsung and on the right is a 24” Acer Nitro monitor, both of which are on Vesa arms clamped to the desk.

In the image you can see my vertical 24” monitor is only JUST high enough to sit above the shelf, like the arm its mounted on physically can’t go any higher for there to be a gap between the monitor and shelf.

So definitely something to bear in mind if you’re looking for a similar setup - mainly if you’re looking to still mount your monitors, if you just want to sit them on their stands on top of the shelf you’ll probably be fine!

All other dimensions are fine, I’m using the IKEA UPPSPEL 180x80cm desktop so I have ample space in front of the shelf and to the sides.

All in all very happy but also very lucky that the monitors just fit the way I wanted. Would recommend! ⭐️

A very nicely packaged arrival landed on my doorstep and I quickly set about assembling it. Very easy and took me about 5-10 minutes. It's very sturdy and heavy so won't slide around. Perfect for adding a bit more sophistication to a desk space and provides lot's of useful storage space. Love everything about this. Great quality bit of kit.

Based off the only feedback of this product I tried my luck and wasn’t disappointed. The stand arrived in good time and condition. Was surprised and delighted with how well packed it was. With everything I needed to put it together (including the tools) along with clear instructions on how to put it together. Went together nicely and looks really good, it has really helped get my space clear and tidy!

Grovemade have released a niche line of desk shelving units that are upward of £300 upon receipt here in the UK after import taxes & duties paid. I’ve been searching for a similar alternative ever since. At a third of the price, look no further!

I was initially apprehensive seeing as this is the first review of the product, I didn’t have anything to go on. Deciding to bite the bullet, I was pleasantly surprised. A large box arrived with the panels inside that were very well packaged with shipping foam rather than polystyrene. The instructions provided are printed on a A4 booklet, with clear and large diagrams.

After unpacking the parts, the build was a breeze and took 45mins approximately.

A few tips: try to have a second pair of hands to push down the bottom panel when screwing in the 8 screws to the interior dividers. Without help, ensure you press down with your free hand as you screw in with the other (this may require a little force). The screws will then pull the panel flush, otherwise you’ll have a 2-3mm gap! Try and use your own Allen keys if you can - this will help immensely as the smaller key is under an inch in length.

Other than the one small Allen key, I don’t have any gripes whatsoever. I was left with arguably a better looking and more modern monitor stand.

THE BOTTOM LINE - As someone who works from home full time, I needed a sleek unit to fit under my monitor that is on a vesa mount to use for storage. Fenge have done an exceptional job in delivering a modern, reasonably priced unit without sacrificing build quality.

I can fully recommend this product and confidently say; Grovemade is no longer the standard! Buy it and don’t look back.
