These canvas panels/boards are exactly what I expected. They are stable to work with and easy to frame.
Great quality and excellent value for money. . Speedy delivery too. I have just ordered them again!

This is a very nicely built iVanky USB-C hub.
Packaging is reminiscent of an apple product, nice unboxing experience, well packaged.
Product itself is solid, nice heft to it. Power brick is hefty as well.
With this hub, the dual USB connector provides power to the Macbook as well as 4 USB 3.0A ports 2 on the back and 2 on the front, Micro SD and SD cards, 3.5mm audio out a USB C port AND the USB-C PD port is a nice quick charger that provides power delivery.
I hooked up my phone to it and quick charging works.
Ethernet port on the back as well.
What’s also nice with this type of hub is that it provides power directly instead of having to hook up your macbook charger to it as a passthrough and will provide power for other devices.
And unlike larger docks, it is also small enough to toss in a backpack as needed.
Personally I use this as a desk docking station and have the portable 7 port iVanky hub for travel.
Build quality like I said is solid, the housing has a very nice glossy piano black finish.
Everything is plug and play, ethernet, HDMI, audio, everything is detected automatically.
I’ve tested this on 2 different Macbooks, a 2020 16 inch Macbook Pro with dGPU (intel version) with MacOS Catalina and on a 2017 Macbook Pro 13 inch with MacOS Mojave.
The thing that I normally check for with any kind of hub or docking station device that is how display signals are handled.
And what I like most about this docking station is that it sends HDMI at 4K 60Hz in native mode.
In the pictures attached, on the 16 inch MBP with dGPU all 3 display signals are native MacOS
On the 13 inch because it doesn’t have a dGPU, the iGPU handles 2 native and the other 4K signal is non-native.
Also bear in mind Catalina vs Mojave.
But overall, this dock is great for the price, great quality, plenty of ports and a good alternative to other ones in a higher price bracket.
iVanky has always delivered high quality products at competitive pricing and this is no different. Awesome gadget here.

Not for lack of trying, I wanted to use my PC’s monitors with my work computer, which is a Macbook Pro i7 2020. Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware – and no YouTube video or help article was helpful – that you need to consume two USB-C ports to have two distinct external monitors. I had tried three different single USB-C “docks” to no avail. Finally, with this iVANKY unit, I simply plugged it in and it’s both powering my laptop and sending a unique signal to my two monitors (as noted in the title) and the Macbook itself has it’s own unique signal to the screen. That means I have an A, B, and C monitor. I only need two, but I’ll take three. It’s working… finally. Why Apple makes this so hard I will never know. With a Windows computer, you can easily daisy chain USB-C monitors or connect to a single dock.

Lovely set of canvas, ideal for teenage daughter who loves doing arty crafts stuff. Great range of sizes for a good price. Definitely will buy again

This product is nice and compact, seems to have a very nice build quality, and allows me to connect an external display to my laptop. I’ve been using the device with no problems for the last week or so and it is performing well. I am currently running an external monitor and an ethernet connection to my laptop, all the while it charges at the same time! This will definitely make my work from home life way easier. I recommend this product a bunch. The only downside of this wonderful product is that it takes up both USB-C ports on the side of my laptop, without any room to spare. If your Macbook has 4 USC-C ports, then this will not be a problem. Anyway, it seems like Ivanky thought this through and added two USB-C ports to the dock.

I do a lot of large paintings, but wanted to scale down and create more intimate images that draw people in. This collection of sizes allowed me to experiment without breaking the bank. Took acrylic and oil very well.

I’ve had this for over a month. When it works, it’s great! I’ve got a 2021 macbook pro 13-inch with two 2560×1440 displays. Everything is plugged in that I need, and I’ve still got a port or two left. Things plugged into the docking station: mouse, keyboard, 1 monitor(hdmi), logitech web cam, usb mic, ethernet. (The second monitor is plugged into the side of the macbook via usb-c/thunderbolt cable.
The thing itself is pretty sleek looking. It has a rubber bottom so it doesn’t slide around, has two plugs that plug in easily to the side of the macbook. It has a HUGE power supply almost the same size as the dock itself.
Everything works for a while, but the network stops working after a couple days and I have to power cycle the dock to get it working again. For now I have another usb dongle plugged into the ivanky with the ethernet plugged into that, and that has been working just fine (it’s what I used to use, another brand 3 port usb+ethernet).
Sometimes the mouse and keyboard won’t work after the machine has been sleeping over the weekend, also fixed by cycling the power.
Very rarely one of the monitors will go off and come back on. Not sure if that is the dock’s fault or not.
I have emailed Ivanky to see if they have a firmware update. I’ll try to remember to update here if I find a solution.
UPDATE: Ivanky sent me a driver update which helped the network problem. Later on I wiped the computer when starting a new job, then the update was no longer on their site, but it doesn’t seem to have mattered. My internet has been working fine through this hub since the reinstall.
My mouse occasionally (less than once a week) doesn’t have power after waking the computer from sleep, so I unplug/plug it and it’s fine.
