  • Wooden Dish Racks: This bamboo storage rack is originally for storing baking trays and dishes. However, teachers know how to improvise, and they are using it in the classroom for storing classroom laptops. At the time of writing this post, one set of these only cost $6.99 and the multiple sets are discounted.

  • Triangular Metal File Organizers: A triangular organizer is very low profile and ergonomic. It would give a minimalist look to your laptop storage area. To prevent the charging cords from tangling, just zip-tie each cord to one of the top rungs of the organizer. This will keep them permanently separated and sorted for charging. This stand comes in a pack of two, that's enough storage for fourteen laptops. There's also a similar single stand with ten slots and it's a stand-alone item. Both sizes are also available in gold tones if you prefer.

  • Wire mesh laptop organizer: This mesh organizer can be hung on a wall or stand on a countertop. One of these stands can hold five laptops. If you want to mount on a wall, bend each slot upwards to prevent the laptops from sliding off.


  • Metal horizontal paper sorter stand: The shelves on this metal stand are almost horizontal, they tilt upwards a bit. This is a good thing for keeping the laptops from falling out. It comes in black and silver.

  • A wall hanging metal organizer: The best feature about this hangable laptop organizer is that it has open sides for the charger cords to be plugged into the laptops from either side. It can be placed along the back of a countertop where it can be fastened to the wall.

  • Bamboo paper tray: This paper tray has a lot of laptop storage potential. It is both sturdy and rigid enough to hold electronic laptops without bending or tipping over. This sorter has five slots and the seven slot version only costs one dollar more.

All of these laptop stands are made of metal or wood. Corrugated wood and cardboard are to flimsy for storing laptops. So, you can see that it is possible to get durable and affordable storage sorters for classroom laptops. One tip to apply to each of these storage stands is to apply hot glue along the inside base and along the edges of the slots to prevent the laptops from getting scratched and to give them a softer base to stand on. More ideas will be added soon.
