Here's a typical VESA-attached stand. This one came pre-attached to the XP-Pen Artist 22 Plus. It is my favorite VESA-attached stand because the wide lever is easy to reach and operate.
VESA is a standard to mount displays to various things using screws. More here: VESA
Here is another stand from Huion. This was works fine, though I find its level a little more diffucult to find and use.
These stands attach to the back of tablet via screws. Because they are VESA compatible, they work with any drawing tablet that is VESA mountable.
Some people have had success with the Ergotron Neo-Flex Stand. See this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/wacom/comments/1b527hs/finally_found_a_stand_for_my_cintiq_pro_27/
It's important to match the stand with the height of the pen display. A stand designed for a smaller pen display will have its angle adjustment lever in a position so that it is convenient to reach by putting your hand over the top of the display. However when used with a large display that lever may be much more difficult to reach.
here are the key features:
They are height/angle adjustable
Some can vary the angle continually and you can lock them into a specific preferred angle
Some only support 1 or two angles
They have a "lip" at the bottom to help secure the tablet
The tablet is not attached to the stand
They have rubberized surfaces on top to prevent the tablet from sliding off too easy
They have rubberized surfaces on the bottom to prevent the stand from moving around on the desk
These stands are simple and inexpensive, but beware that since the tablet is not secured to the stand, it can be easy to knock the tablet of the stand.
Stand options:
I use the Huion ST100A stand with my Huion Kamvas Pro 19
I use the VIVO Pneumatic Arm Monitor Desk Stand (STAND-V100R) with y Cintiq Pro 22. my notes on this stand
I am very happy with this stand. It makes it easy to use my pen displays as a monitor and then put them in a position that is convenient for drawing. See the photos at the bottom of this document for some examples of what it looked like with a 22" pen display attached.

It does support VESA mounting.
The stand comes in several pieces. The package comes with the screws and two hex wrenches.
Putting it together is not difficult. And the user manual is clear on what to do.
You will need a Philips-head screwdriver to attach it to a pen display with the provided screws.
Like all stands and arms thee is some wobble if you press on it. This is normal and was not a disappointment.
However, there is a good range of motion and adjusting so that the bottom edge of my 22" pen display touches the desk helps tremendously in stabilizing it.
Tensiona adjustment
The tension on the arm is adjustable with one of the provided hex wrenches. I turned down the tension to work with my 22" pen display.
The base was surprisingly heavy.
I attached the table with the screws and used the washers in this way because I thought it would be a more secure fit.
This is where the tension is adjusted.
The rotation on the stand goes about +/- 45 degrees
This is about as high that the display can go.
With my 22" display I could lower it such that the display could securely rest on the desk.
It can be tiled back. I was able to keep the bottom edge of the displayt securely on the desk up to 35 degrees.
But at angles greater than 45 the edge of the display could not touch the desk.
Here are some more extreme angles.
The Sketchboard Pro for iPads provides a stand which integrates the iPad into the surface. I use it occasionally for when I paint on my iPad.

Some notes
It is a little expensive for what it is, but I do enjoy it.
Comes in different sizes to fit your iPad
Still leaves space for charging the Apple Pencil 2 and a USB-C cable connection
iPad relatively secure in it in normal use. But I would not suggest holding it upside down to test whether the iPad will fall out.
The extra bezel area is nice. At first I thought it was going to be too big. But it's very comfortable.
