FLEXISPOT Standing Desk Converter 40in Sit to Stand up Desk Riser Height Adjustable Computer Workstation with Spacious 2-Tier Desktop Black

Good news travels fast, especially theough the office grapevine! Since I set this up in my office, coworkers who have never even spoken to me have stopped by my office to see my new desk riser. Everyone remarks on how beautiful the brown wood tone color is. I agree. It is striking. I chose it because it's a beautiful color, and will not show dust as much as a boring black one. I will mention, though, it is a textured surface, that mimics real wood, so is not a good writing surface. My coworker has a black one that looks smooth at first glance but, she pointed out to me that it is not really smooth either. It has really tiny "pimples". So, it's not really a complaint, just an observation.It weighs about 45 pounds and is in a long box that's rather awkward for one person to carry. It actually has a note on the box that it requires a 2-person lift, but I'm not the type to ask for help and nobody was offering their assistance, so I managed to get it from my car into the office by myself. The handles on each end of the box were a tremendous help with that!Our IT guys had offered to help with setup, but we had a huge internet outage that day so they were busy. Patience is not a virtue I possess, so I set it up myself. Since it basically was delivered fully assembled (hence the huge box), setup was a breeze. I am an out-of-shape middle-aged woman with shoulder issues so my coworkers were shocked that I was able to move it and set it up by myself. I am mechanically-inclined, but that wasnt really a necessity as the only thing I needed to do was insert the keyboard tray into the slot on the bottom of the main component. There is a clasp on each side to lock the tray in place, so it doesn't slide out unexpectedly but that step isn't even necessary in my opinion, which I see no situation where a keyboard tray sitting on a flat surface would slide out on its own.By the way, the keyboard tray is NOT retractable - as in, it doesn't slide in and out to quickly/temporarily use your desk as a writing surface. It is, however, easily removable so you can pull it out and stash it to the side if you need your desk surface for an extended period. Then easily insert it back into its slot when you need the keyboard again. So, it's either in or its out - no in-between.It is easy to adjust from sitting to standing height by squeezing the lever on the right side of the riser to activate the hydraulic lifts. It is a smooth, controlled movement - not jerky at all. I'm 5'6" tall and it goes higher than I need it to be. It can be adjusted to go all the way down, flush with the desk, so I can comfortably rest my wrists while typing in the seated position. I purchased the 40", which comfortably fits 2 monitors, with room for a small fan in between.Before ordering, my office's IT manager sent me links to 3 risers he recommended from Amazon. This was one of them. He recommended a 42" to fit the dual monitors, but I went rogue and ordered the 40" because I measured my desktop and found the 42" would extend slightly beyond the edge of my desktop. I thought that would be uncomfortable. My coworker has the 42" - it does hang over rather edge a bit, but she says that doesn't bother her at all. Now my IT guy is telling me I should have ordered the 42" because they are going to be adding a laptop dock to my set up within the next year so I might need the extra space. I thought about exchanging but #1- it seems like too much trouble to box it up after having already set it up with all my monitors and other accessories AND disposed of all the packing materials, and #2- the 42" doesn't come in the brown wood tone color. So, I'm keeping the 42" brown one. According to the product photos, a laptop can be set up on the keyboard tray, so there's that option. Or, I will bring the brown one home for personal use, and buy a second one of this item (but in the 42" version) for my office.Shipping was slow, but that was disclosed during the ordering process prior to checkout. Trust the date they give you, even if it seems like a ridiculously long time for delivery. It took about a month for mine to arrive, but it arrived well-packaged and free of damage. The huge outer box is sturdy, and has made a great "playpen" for my cats!

I have Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and frequently need to stand up while I'm working. My previous standing desk system broke down after about 6 years. I found this one and it looked like it would do the trick. Got it home and it was incredibly easy to set up. It rises a good amount for me, putting my dual monitors at eye level when raised. I actually have overloaded it by putting a bracket and 3rd monitor in the middle (see picture). I have to help it raise up by hand because I have it overweight, but it goes up and stays up just fine. Without the 3rd monitor, it goes up and down just fine on its own. It's a very sturdy unit. If you need a raising desk, this is a perfect one to try.

I have a smaller desk, the Veridesk wouldn't fit. This is a perfect substitute, at 1/4 the price. The bottom shelf is deep enough for my laptop, I have two 24-inch monitors on the top shelf (slightly angled, but they fit nicely). When in the lowest position, the bottom shelf sits flush on my desk (excellent engineering and design).It also goes up and down smoothly, no issues there. You can stop it at any point from low to high, so you can find your perfect comfort zone. I have had it for two weeks, time will tell if it holds up, but all indications are that it will.Only complaint (minor), it does shake a little when typing. But it's not annoying and it's not a distraction. All in all, a great option for a stand/sit desk. Highly recommend.Only

This is a great standing desk converter. High-quality and easy to use, goes up and down very easily and it looks great. If you’re using a monitor and a laptop, you do need to put the monitor in the middle rather than on the side otherwise it wobbles a bit when you type. But that is solved by having the monitor centered and the laptop off to the side. I had a few issues and delays with shipping; it came direct from the manufacturer. I had to get in touch with their customer service several times. That part was frustrating but customer service was great. They responded quickly each time I had to reach out.
