About Simple Houseware
Simple Houseware is a home and office storage brand based in Des Moines, Iowa, built around one idea: everyday clutter problems deserve practical, affordably priced solutions. The line runs across kitchen storage bins, closet and cabinet organizers, laundry sorters, and rolling carts, and it carries that same organization-first thinking onto the desk with its monitor riser lineup.
Its Dual Monitor Stand Riser with Drawer is the clearest example: a platform built to span two displays at once, with a pull-out drawer split into up to 9 compartments plus a built-in phone and tablet slot, so the desk accessories that would otherwise clutter the surface move underneath it. It ships in multiple finishes (black, oak, rustic brown) and is sold direct as well as through Amazon and Walmart, and in our own testing it's the only riser on our monitor stands list purpose-built to organize a dual-monitor desk rather than just elevate a single screen.

Simple Houseware products we rated highly
Simple Houseware Desk Dual Monitor Stand Riser with Drawer
One of our top picks for dual-monitor desks. Fully extended, its platform spans 45 inches to hold two displays side by side, and the pull-out drawer's 9 interior compartments plus a built-in phone and tablet slot give a desk organizer's worth of storage directly under the screens — functionality no single-monitor riser on our list offers. It carries a 4.6-star rating across more than 4,000 verified reviews.

- Purpose-built for dual-monitor desks — a 45-inch fully extended platform is sized to hold two displays side by side, not just widen a single-monitor riser.
- Storage built into the riser itself — a pull-out drawer with 6 removable dividers creates up to 9 compartments, plus a dedicated phone and tablet slot, consolidating what would otherwise be a separate desk organizer.
- Validated at scale — 4.6 stars across 4,000+ verified reviews on the dual-monitor riser we feature.
- A focused home-organization brand — Simple Houseware's kitchen, closet, and laundry storage lines share the same practical, compartmentalized design approach it brings to the desk.
