I got a roost when they launched, still have it, practical and durable, I imagine I'll always have it.
The problem with this paper one is that the paper will wear within a couple of years, and if you spill your coffee on it or anything like that or put it down on a coffee-ring stain, it's straight in the bin.
I fail to see the value in something made from recyclable that is essentially disposable rather than a roost which can be made from recycled plastic and last forever.
The roost also only cost about double to triple this to buy.
EDIT: I see the roost is quite a bit more expensive now, but longevity and ergonomics wise I'd say still well worth it.
- gruez 2y agoWhy is it so expensive? It looks and functions exactly like a dozen other similar stands on aliexpress.
- scarface_74 2y agoI’m not going to buy a knock off good from Aliexpress for a product that I have used everyday for the past two years across over two dozen cities.
- daanavitch 2y agoThe Nexstand is the most popular alternative, it's around 30 dollars.
- alias_neo 2y agoHonestly, I don't know, I bought it a decade ago when it launched. It was a fair bit cheaper, I want to say more like $60, I suppose "inflation" is the reason. EDIT: 2016 I bought my roost stand, it's still good as new.
