Grovemade launches stunning new line of hardwood and leather desktop accessories

Add as a preferred source on Google

Grovemade, a Portland, OR-based company known for its signature wooden iPhone cases, has just announced it’s latest line of products — and they’re not just phone or tablet cases anymore. This week, the company pulled the veil back on a slew of new desktop accessories, all of which are (surprise!) made from Grovemade’s favorite materials — machined aluminum, high-grade leather, Eastern Hardrock Maple, and Black Oregon Walnut.

“We wanted to craft something unlike anything we’ve ever done in the past and we achieved this by breathing life into our workspace by introducing natural materials to every day desk accessories,” says Ken Tomita, Grovemade’s co-founder. “Your desk is a projection of your personality and the Grovemade team believes we should all project our best.”

First in the lineup is the company’s new Monitor Stand — a sleek wooden platform designed for laptops and standing desks that elevates your screen by four inches to improve posture. And don’t worry if you’re rocking a particularly large and heavy monitor either– thanks to Grovemade’s glue lamination process and hardy materials, these stands can support up to 200 pounds of weight.

Due to it’s elevated design, the stand also provides an extra bit of storage space for other desk accessories, such as the company’s new Keyboard Tray — which, as it turns out, also gives you some extra storage. Underneath the keyboard, the tray features compartments for pens, notes, and any other sundries that you’d prefer to keep out of sight, but still have quick access to.

To make your desktop a bit more comfortable, the collection also includes a Keyboard Wrist Pad that’s ergonomically designed to keep wrists elevated and supported. It is available in Eastern Hardrock Maple and Black Oregon Walnut in combination with an aluminum bottom, and also features black or tan vegetable leather that ages gracefully with time, becoming softer and more distinguished.

And that’s just the beginning. Grovemade also offers a leather mouse pad, wooden desk lamp, plant pot, and a number of holders and cups for common desk items like pens and paperclips. We highly recommend you check out the rest of the collection on the company’s website, since words hardly do the products justice.

Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 Pro review: A reliable kit that’s low on maintenace, high on conveniences
An easy recommendation for anyone who wants a cordless vacuum that is genuinely easy to live with.
Tineco Pure One Station 5 Pro vacuum cleaner

With two young children and two dogs, my floors put vacuums through a real-world stress test every day. Between constant crumbs, pet hair, tracked-in dirt, and everything in between, there’s always something waiting to be cleaned. The Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 Pro solved those those pain points for me pretty well. It can run for over an hour and a half on a single charge, while its base station dustbin capacity outpaces many standard upright vacuums that I've tested over the years.

My smart home experiment has reached its natural limit
Smart-home technology keeps improving, but being easier to automate doesn’t make everything worth automating
Computer, Electronics, Laptop, Smart Home

The first device I added to my smart home was a light bulb. It seemed like the safest possible place to start. I could turn it on from anywhere, put it on a schedule, and eventually work it into routines with everything else.

Then I tapped the button in the app and waited. The delay was only about half a second, but half a second is surprisingly noticeable when the alternative is a wall switch that responds immediately and has never once asked for a firmware update. Using my phone was worse. I had to unlock it, find the app, open the right room, and tap the light I could have switched on several steps earlier.

Google Home's latest update introduces several new features, including Gemini-powered Interactive Storytime. While I’m not sure who asked for the feature, it lets families build original stories about specific topics on the fly, instead of just listening to a known story. 

So what's the big new feature here?
