Bridge-Style Monitor Riser With Pen Lip

A low viaduct for your desk: a flat 500 mm span carried on two slab-sided legs, lifting the monitor 80 mm and leaving a wide open tunnel underneath. A low profile keyboard slides straight in and out, and a thin lip along the back edge works as a curb so pens and pencils stop rolling off the far side.

Design notes

• Footprint: 500 mm wide by 240 mm deep.
• Shelf height: the top surface sits 80 mm above the desk, with a 15 mm thick shelf and chamfered edges.
• Keyboard clearance: about 65 mm of open height between the legs, comfortably above the 35 mm minimum requested.
• Gap between legs: roughly 460 mm, enough for a full-size keyboard with room to spare.
• Back lip: 3 mm thick and rising 6 mm above the shelf, running the full width.
• Print note: at 500 mm wide it exceeds most print beds, so it suits a large-format printer or a split into joined sections.

Pairs well with

• A cable clip or grommet added along the back for monitor leads.
• Non-slip pads under the legs to keep the bridge planted.
