Top 7 Best Tablet Floor Stands Compared
#1 CTA Digital Gooseneck Floor Stand – Top Pick
WHY WE LIKE IT: The CTA Digital Floor Stand offers a wide range of flexibility with its metal gooseneck. Light, sturdy, very easy to set up and the best overall in terms of both quality and affordability, this floor stand completes the search for those looking to maximize function and durability for price.
- 12-inch gooseneck
- Doesn’t block any ports
- Telescoping pole for easy height adjustment
- Tablet holder is plastic
- Gooseneck is hard to bend
CTA Digital’s floor stand’s quality, affordability, portability makes it our top choice. It supports 7 to 13-inch devices. The tablet is secured at the corners, offering unobstructed access to its ports, cameras, and buttons. We also love the attachable storage cradle that can hold external battery packs.
Flexibility is one of the best things about this tablet stand. The metal gooseneck allows you to adjust your tablet’s position in more angles than any of the other stands we tried. It’s worth noting that the gooseneck is not as easy to bend, but makes it especially durable. It only weighs a little under 5 kilos and has an attachable swivel caster for movability.
#2 LEVO Deluxe Tablet Floor Stand – Honorable Mention
WHY WE LIKE IT: The LEVO Deluxe is an elegant, high-end tablet floor stand with a heavy-duty structure, a highly adjustable stand and a swing-arm. It’s best for those looking for top quality despite a higher price.
- 5-axis swing-arm for easy positioning
- Sturdy base keeps the device from falling over
- Sleek-looking anodized aluminum finish
- Expensive
If money was no object, go for the LEVO Deluxe. It’s built with high-quality materials such as an anodized aluminum finish that looks as great as it functions. Its heavy base weighs 20 pounds, so you know it won’t topple easily.
This is a heavy-duty tablet floor stand that can endure frequent daily use. You can easily switch your tablet’s position with its 5-axis swing arm and flip lever height lock. The height is also easily adjustable from 30-56 inches. It’s compatible with devices measuring 13 inches and below. However, because of its weight, it’s not as portable, though its wheels allow it to move around a room easily.
#3 Mount-It! Secure Tablet Floor Stand – Best for Public Spaces
WHY WE LIKE IT: With restricted access to the power and volume buttons, the Mount-It! Secure Tablet Floor stand will keep your device safe from theft. Users won’t be able to play around with your tablet, which makes this the best tablet floor stand for security and for public use.
- Ideal for public places
- Provides excellent security
- Can bolt the base to the floor
- Not for home use
- Height is not adjustable
- Mount-It’s conspicuous logo
Mount-It!’s tablet floor stand is intended for public use and has excellent security features. You won’t have to worry about anyone stealing your iPad with its key-locked enclosure. You can bolt the base to the floor for added security. There’s also a document holder tray for flyers and brochures.
You can easily tilt your device and rotate it at 90 degrees, from portrait to landscape. Its height is at 42.75 inches, which isn’t adjustable. Mount-It!’s logo can also be distracting. These are minor gripes though, and while it doesn’t have the flexibility of other tablet floor stands, this is the one to buy for the maximum security of your tablet.
#4 idée Height & Angle Adjustable Floor Stand – Best Value
WHY WE LIKE IT: The idée Floor Stand has a sturdy metal base and offers a wide range of flexible adjustments. With a clean design and high-quality materials, this tablet floor stand offers the best value for its more otherwise more affordable price.
- Great adjustability
- Sturdy base
- Some parts are made of plastic
With this floor stand, we particularly loved the sturdiness of the base and the device holder. Its floor base weighs at 9.6 pounds, and it’s relatively heavy so can hold still even when you’re typing on the tablet. Both its holder and its arms are also 360-degree rotatable with its height adjustable from 22.1 to 34.3 inches, so you can easily adjust it at different heights and angles to suit your requirements.
Its design is a matter of preference. We like its clean, white look, but we’ve heard others say that it looks like a piece of hospital equipment. Either way, for mid-range floor stands, this is a great choice.
#5 T-SIGN Tripod Stand Mount – Best for Portability
WHY WE LIKE IT: The T-SIGN Tripod Stand Mount comes with a foldable floor and a carrying case while also being among the most affordable stands that we tried. With its very light weight, this one takes the cake for those who need to move their tablet stands around.
- Affordable Price
- Portability
- Limited Flexibility
- iPad Pro 12” won’t fit
It’s a tripod, so it won’t compare to the sturdiness of the other tablet floor stands, but we love that it’s lightweight and easy to carry around. It’s made of aluminum and has a collapsible design so it easily fits in the bag that comes with it. You can rotate your device 360 degrees, and it also has a remarkable height range from 20.5 to 50 inches.
It can only fit devices 7 to 12 inches in size so the bigger iPad Pro model won’t fit here. However, at its price, it’s still worth buying not just because of its portability, but because it also comes with freebies like a carrying case and a phone stand.
#6 SAIJI Tablet Stand Holder – Best Budget
WHY WE LIKE IT: The SAIJI Tablet Stand Holder has an elastic gripper that makes it easy to place and remove your device, serving its intended function at a very affordable price. It’s the best budget tablet stand holder in the market.
- Wide compatibility
- Easy to put your device in
- Beautiful design
- No arms
- Poor adjustability features
We like how effortless it is to place the tablet in the holder thanks to SAIJI’s stretchable design. Its aluminum alloy stand and white-colored base look simple yet elegant, especially for a fairly cheap floor stand. Its lighter weight also lets you can place it on tables.
Though its elastic gripper can hold devices from 4 to 13 inches, its main limitations are its adjustment ranges. Its height can only be adjusted from 12 to 19 inches and it has no arms. Its bottom does have a fixed-point slide and its clip supports 360-degree rotation, so it still offers some flexibility. While it doesn’t have arms nor CTA Digital’s gooseneck design, which drops it a notch, it’s still very much worth its price.
#7 LEVO G2 Essential Tablet Floor Stand – Best Lightweight
WHY WE LIKE IT: LEVO’s more affordable tablet floor stand, the G2 Essential retains much of its pricier sibling’s best features like the multi-axis swing-arm and elegant design while weighing much lighter. It’s an excellent alternative to the Deluxe edition.
- 4-axis swing-arm
- Elegant design
- Lightweight
- The base doesn’t fit under most sofas
The LEVO G2 Essential is a great alternative to those who want a high-quality tablet floor stand without breaking the bank. Like the LEVO Deluxe, the G2 Essential is made of high-quality materials with an elegant design. Like the Deluxe, its sturdy aluminum frame is built for heavy-duty use.
While it doesn’t have the heavy base and wheels of LEVO Deluxe, its V-shaped base still works well. Its light weight also makes it easy to move around the house. It has a 4-axis swing-arm instead of five, but it’s still enough for a decent range of flexibility. Its height adjusts from 26 to 43 inches and can hold tablets and smartphones 12 inches or less with its quick-release four-side clamps.
How We Decided
If quality were our only criteria, our list would’ve ended up with only the priciest tablet floor stands. However, we wanted to include tablet floor stands for every budget range, so we reviewed products from the most affordable, to the mid-range, to the high-end ones.
Combining quality with affordability was how we came up with the list. Tablet floor stands that were cheap but quickly broke or couldn’t sustain holding the device for long hours didn’t make our cut.
Adjustability was another deciding factor. Other brands weren’t included because of their more limited height and angle adjustability. We also didn’t include stands that were more expensive but had qualities that you can find from low or mid-range tablet floor stands.

The Most Important Features to Consider
Tablet floor stands are not the most sophisticated devices, so it’s relatively easy to choose a great product as long as you keep an eye on the following features:
- Sturdiness – A flimsy stand that easily topples defeats the very purpose of this device and isn’t worth your money.
- Tablet holder strength – This is crucial because you wouldn’t want to risk your tablet sliding out or falling from the holder.
- Flexibility – How much you can adjust the position of your tablet matters. The more flexible the movement range is, the more it will serve its purpose.
