This Hand-Carved Wooden MacBook Stand Is Gorgeous, But Is It Really Worth $400?

Like an idiot, I just last week gave The Lady my old aluminum MacBook to replace her dying plastic one. And now I see the Vool, a MacBook stand so gorgeous that I want to buy a can of silver spray-paint to somehow steal back my old MacBook without her noticing.

The pine stand is curved to hold the MacBook when open or closed, and you can either use it alone on your lap or as a desktop raiser-stand along with a keyboard and mouse (both of which can be stowed inside when not in use.

I was ready to order one, until I saw the price: €300, or $400. Ouch. For that I could buy The Lady an iPad mini.
