The stand on 2012-2020 iMacs is NOT removable. It is part of the chassis. The ONLY method of removing it is to saw it off which is NOT recommended. If you need to transport your iMac use the original box or go to a shipping store and ask them to prepare a box for shipping.


You can also look on Amazon for other shipping solutions for iMacs.

If by "transporting" your iMac, I'm assuming putting it into your car to take it somewhere. I normally use the box that came with it, but if that is not an option, I just place a nice, thick town on the seat/trunk and lay my iMac flag - LCD facing down - on the towel. Never had an issue.


There is zero need to "saw it off".
