Pizza-box adjustable laptop riser — cheap, ventilated, collapsible

What you need: an empty pizza box (sturdy), two large binder clips, a ruler or straight edge, scissors or a box-cutter.

How to do it:

  1. Fold the pizza box flat, then reassemble it so the lid is the top platform and the sides form two triangular supports under it.
  2. Cut two identical triangular wedges from the box sides (about 6–10 cm high) and slide them under the front edge of the lid to create an incline — test the angle with your laptop.
  3. Use the binder clips to clamp the wedges to the lid so they don’t slide. Clip one clip on each side where the wedge meets the lid.
  4. For extra ventilation, cut a thin slot pattern under the laptop zone (don’t cut too many holes). The box elevates the rear, improves airflow, and the clips make it stable.
  5. Collapse by removing the clips and flattening the box — fits under a bed or in a drawer.

Why it’s awesome: raises screen height, gives airflow, is foldable and zero cost if you have the box. Works surprisingly well for light laptops.
