Grovemade makes beautiful desk accessories, from laptop stands to pen cups—many of which we’ve tested at WIRED and recommend in our home-office buying guides. These are typically made from wood with metal and felt accents and are crafted completely by hand in Portland, Oregon. That also means these accessories are pricey. So we’re glad to see Grovemade celebrating its 15th anniversary with a sale. It runs through June 9, but a separate retirement sale takes 20 percent off some of our favorites that are being phased out at the end of the month.

This stand is simple, beautifully shaped wood (walnut or maple) and a piece of stainless steel with leather to keep your laptop from sliding off. We recommend adding a separate keyboard and mouse for the most ergonomic setup. It supports up to 200 pounds, should your PC be made of granite. Given its design and size, it’s a great option to elevate your laptop off to the side when paired with an external monitor, giving you a nice two-screen setup. Grovemade has a similar stand for a monitor for $128 ($32 off) in case you need to elevate your big screen.
The laptop riser takes up a small footprint on your desk, whether you work directly on your laptop or need it angled to the side to work on a separate monitor. It’s more metal than wood, but it looks sophisticated and has a felt pad for where your laptop rests. It’s 10.5 inches wide, and it fits my 13-inch Macbook comfortably. It comes in walnut, oak, and maple. There’s also blackened walnut, but that one isn’t discounted.
Grovemade’s desk shelf comes in four sizes, from 18.5 inches (small) to 58 inches wide (extra large) and there’s a small compartment for a tablet or notebook. There’s a desk tray add-on to turn that compartment into an organized, merino-wool-lined drawer, but it’s a steep $144 more. The $192 price is for the walnut model, but oak and maple are cheaper, along with the plywood options and colors.
A desk pad keeps the surface of your desk clean and scratch-free. This one has a cork bottom to keep it from sliding around. We tried the extra-large version, and it covered our entire desk setup, including a second monitor, but there are four other sizes. This linoleum pad comes in 10 pretty colors, and there are leather and wool pads available. To clean it, use a damp cloth.
This is designed specifically for the iPad Pro, but it’s made to hold most tablets at a 20-degree angle. You can place your tablet vertically or horizontally whether you’re working or streaming your favorite show. A hole in the back lets you thread a charger through it.
