\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yesterday, I had to make a pilgrimage to IKEA. As I walked into the main entrance of the showroom, I noticed this display for the Isberget tablet stand.<\/p>\n

Of course, I din’t see a tablet stand; I saw a potential radio stand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I snapped a couple of shots and meant to go back and purchase one, but I forgot to do so.<\/p>\n

The stand is quite large and I imagine it would accommodate almost any portable (save, perhaps, a beefy model like the RF-2200 or Eton Field). The lip at the bottom of the stand is not deep, but I\u00a0believe it would be adequate for most applications.<\/p>\n

Color choices are white and blue.<\/p>\n

At $2.99 US, I feel like it’s a good deal. If you don’t have an IKEA location near you, the Isberget\u00a0can order one online, but shipping is very steep ($10!)–much better to stop by your local IKEA.<\/p>\n

I wish I would have remembered to purchase one yesterday.<\/p>\n

Have any Post<\/em> readers used the Isberget as a radio stand? Please comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
