Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Measure and mark bamboo poles: Cut two poles to 40 cm for the rear legs, two poles to 25 cm for the front legs.
2. Cut the bamboo slats or panel to 30 cm length and 25 cm width to create the laptop platform.
3. Sand all cut edges and surfaces to smooth out splinters.
4. Arrange the legs: Attach the 25 cm front legs and 40 cm rear legs on each side at an angle of about 70 degrees, using screws and wood glue to fix them securely. The rear legs should be longer to provide the angle and raise the laptop.
5. Attach the bamboo platform horizontally on top of the legs, securing it with screws and glue. Make sure the platform angle tilts slightly backward for ergonomic viewing.
6. Fix non-slip pads under the legs to prevent sliding on the balcony table.
7. Optionally, apply wood finish or varnish to protect the bamboo from moisture.
8. Let everything dry and cure as per glue and varnish instructions before placing your laptop on the stand.
9. Place the stand on your balcony table and set your laptop on it, using an external keyboard and mouse as intended.
