Winsome might be the number one name when it comes to printer stands, but they’re not the only company that can design a high quality product. While the printer stand that’s right for you will have a lot to do with your specific priorities – space, durability, sturdiness, mobility – there are always going to be some stands that are built better than others. The amazing thing about this industry is that the best products often cost the least. This is an odd occurrence, considering the materials used to build the stands are often the same. It’s possible that size is a factor, but a good printer stand is one that can fit a lot without taking up much space. Regardless of the reason why the better stands cost less, it’s better for the consumer.
The printer stand we’ll briefly review in this article is the SAF 1856BL Safco Scoot Desk-Side Printer Stand. While this has been a relatively popular item, shortening the name to something like ‘Safco Desk-Side Printer Stand’ might have helped. It’s a good thing these mostly sell online. No one is going to walk into a retail store and ask a clerk for an SAF 1856BL Safco Scoot Desk-Side Printer Stand. They’d probably have to write it down to get it right. The good news is that the name is the worst part about this product, which is more than can be said for many other printer stands.
The Safco Scoot Desk-Side Printer Stand (we can shorten it a little) has a list price of $185. That’s pretty steep for a printer stand. While that price can still be justified, you’re better off buying at Amazon, where it sells new for $109.95. This is a perfect example of getting a lot for a little when it comes to printer stands. The dimensions for this product are 26.25 x 20.25 x 26.25 inches. It weighs 42 lbs. It comes in black only, will match almost any room, and is attractive. It’s also extremely mobile, making it best suited for those who are constantly on the move. Based on its size, it’s also great for freeing up desk space. A folder pouch on the side is a nice bonus. There’s a ton of space on the bottom, easily enough room to hold a printer on the top, and a small inner shelf toward the top that’s perfect for storing accessories.
