Grovemade’s sexy new laptop stand will give you wood at your desk

Grovemade may have gotten its start making high-end wooden iPhone cases, but this Portland-based outfit is no one-trick pony. Over the past year or so, the company has been branching out and expanding its product offerings, making everything from wooden timepieces to desktop accessories. Today, they’re back with yet another sumptuous slab of wood — a hardwood laptop stand.

Similar to Grovemade’s previously-released Monitor Stand, the freshly-announced Laptop Stand is crafted from multiple sheets of wood veneer bent into a graceful, forward-leaning curve. This angled platform boasts ample surface space, raises your computer for improved ergonomics, and creates an area underneath for stowing desktop accessories.

“Bringing increased function and order to your desktop, the Laptop Stand is the perfect complement to any work or home office, making for a distinctive and comfortable way to help you work, watch, or play,” says Ken Tomita, Grovemade’s co-founder. “The Laptop Stand’s unique design, molded and shaped from several sheets of wood, lends a welcoming aesthetic boost to your workspace.”

As you’d expect, the new laptop stand is made from Grovemade’s favorite materials — Eastern Hardrock Maple and Black Oregon Walnut. And that’s not all. For added functionality, each stand also features a precision cut aluminum stop, lined with premium, vegetable-tanned leather, to prevent your laptop from sliding off the stand.

Universally compatible with all laptop models, Grovemade’s Laptop Stand retails at $119 and is available starting today on Grovemade’s website.

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams
Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
