Is a wood monitor stand better than metal?

Wood stands offer warmer aesthetics and naturally dampen vibrations. Metal stands are typically lighter and thinner. For home offices where aesthetics matter, wood is the clear winner. For industrial or minimalist setups, metal may be preferred.

How do I care for a wood monitor stand?

For oiled finishes (like Grovemade), reapply wood oil every 6-12 months. For lacquered finishes, wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid placing hot cups directly on wood surfaces. Use coasters to prevent water rings. Dust regularly to prevent buildup in the grain.
