The laptop stand features an adjustable height mechanism. To adjust the height, locate the adjustment points on the leg frames. Press the release buttons or loosen the knobs (depending on the specific design) and slide the inner tube to your desired height. Ensure the mechanism locks securely into place before placing items on the stand.
