Show WayWinner of a Newbery Honor Soonie's great grandma was just seven years old when she was sold to a big plantation without her ma and pa, and with only some fabric and needles to call her own. She pieced together bright patches with names like North Star and Crossroads, patches with secret meanings made into quilts called Show Ways maps for slaves to follow to freedom. When she grew up and had a little girl, she passed on this knowledge. And generations
Winner of a Newbery HonorSoonie's great-grandma was just seven years old when she was sold to a big plantation without her ma and pa, and with only some fabric and needles to call her own. She pieced together bright patches with names like North Star and Crossroads, patches with secret meanings made into quilts called Show Ways -- maps for slaves to follow to freedom. When she grew up and had a little girl, she passed on this knowledge. And generations later, Soonie -- who was born free -- taught her own daughter how to sew beautiful quilts to be sold at market and how to read. From slavery to freedom, through segregation, freedom marches and the fight for literacy, the tradition they called Show Way has been passed down by the women in Jacqueline Woodson's family as a way to remember the past and celebrate the possibilities of the future. Beautifully rendered in Hudson Talbott's luminous art, this moving, lyrical account pays tribute to women whose strength and knowledge illuminate their daughters' lives.

Beautiful, Solid Real Wood Wrist Rest
Color: Walnut Wood, Size: Large
This wooden wrist rest feels premium and the finish is super smooth — it’s noticeably nicer than foam or gel pads. Real wood looks great on my desk and still feels comfortable during long typing sessions. Definitely worth it if you want something stylish and functional.

Sturdy Dual Monitor Riser with Great Storage and Desk Space
Color: Oak
This monitor stand seems like a really strong option if you want both better screen height and more desk organization. The biggest pros are the extra-wide 42.5-inch size, built-in drawers, and sturdy construction—listings say it can hold up to 99 lbs and is designed to support two monitors while freeing up space underneath for a keyboard and accessories. Reviews and product descriptions also consistently highlight the ergonomic benefit of raising the screens to a more comfortable level. The main downside is that stands like this take up a decent amount of desk depth, so you want to make sure your desk has enough room before buying. Overall, it looks like a great choice if you want a cleaner setup, dual-monitor support, and extra storage in one piece.

Monitor stand that stands up!
Color: White
This monitor stand is absolutely perfect. It gives back inches of desk space and provides additional storage with the shelves and 2 small drawers. Assembly was simple and the stand is sturdy and looks great. The profile is low enough that your monitors are not too high up from your laptop/keyboard. Definitely a game changes for the home office!

Great Monitor Riser/Stand!
Color: Oak, Color: Oak
I’m so happy with the way it turned out!! Easy assembly in about 15 min. It’s so cute and you can customize if you’d like the drawers to be on the left or right side. I just noticed a slight deviation in material dimensions so it looks a little off. But it’s still functional!

high quality and sturdy !
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
if you’re thinking about it, get it! i splurged to get this, but it’s so nice. it’s high quality and sturdy, plus it helps a lot to organize and keep things neat. putting it together was just like an ikea item and took much longer than i thought- around ~30-45 minutes, but it was worth it. i wanted a stand that would be able to fit my 2 monitors, and this is perfect. i’ve had it for over 6 months now and it still looks brand new! it really upgrades your desk space and makes it feel nicer. 10/10 recommend
