FLEXISPOT35in Standing Desk Converter Height Adjustable Sit to Stand up Desk Riser Computer Workstation with Keyboard Tray Wide 2-Tier Desktop Black

This desk is amazing, and the size I chose (28" wide) is especially useful for those with smaller spaces to fill - given it's width, it is probably best suited for a single larger monitor (mine is 24"), or 2 smaller monitors with center bases, situation. There were a number of size options from this brand, so measure carefully and choose wisely.Fit: I have a horseshoe shaped desk that covers a 180-degree arc, 17" deep all around, so it was a challenge to find the right size stand-up desk. I did have to give up a couple of inches of seating area, which was a small price to pay for the added comfort of being able to work standing up. I only had to shift my floor pad out a bit, and scoot my foot rest in, and I was ready to rock and roll.Setup: it was really easy to assemble this desk. One of the screws for attaching the keyboard tray was missing - when I contacted the company, they were very fast to respond (less than a day) and gave me a refund for the cost of purchasing a new one (and for the hassle, very generous). I really like that the mechanism is not powered - one less plug to worry about, and one less piece to add to the build process. The desk comes with a couple of generously sized and adjustable cord loops, so you can wire your equipment however you want. Make sure your cords are long enough to handle the desk at its peak - I purchased USB extender cords just to be sure, and I used them on all but one device. My desk is not against the wall, so I anchored the base of the cords to the leg of my desk, just to keep them from floating all over the place.Operation: the desk goes up and down incredibly smoothly. The flipper lever under the right arm of the upper tray is convenient; I find it best to stand first, then flip the paddle, but that's just because of my cord setup. The rise is fluid and not too fast (not like an office chair, where you're either propelled to the ceiling or dumped to the floor).Functional space: even with my monitor and low-sitting wide speaker bar, there's plenty of room behind my monitor where I keep a dresser tray of things like dongles. There are "wings" on the upper tray that extend toward you - they can each fit a 4" coaster (so my coffee goes up/down with me) with a little bit of wiggle room. I got neoprene coasters, just to make sure they don't slip and slide off the tray when it's in motion. Even with my water cup and coffee mug, I still have room for my phone stand, and I put my charging station behind the monitor. The bottom tray is wide enough for my 18" keyboard and a 5x7" mouse pad on either side. And in the center, the bottom tray is 12" deep, which leaves ample room in front of the keyboard for other things. I have another phone stand there, for times when I have to use it for meetings, but I do have to make sure it's secure when I raise the desk, as it can tumble into the gap if I have it leaning on the upper tray.Additional notes: I looked at a lot of different desks. I originally wanted one that compressed as mostly flat, thinking that would save on space, but it actually meant more of a depth footprint, the one measurement I couldn't sacrifice too much. The fact that the monitor tray sits higher than the keyboard tray, when the desk is all the way down, was actually a benefit: I didn't need the monitor riser anymore. If you don't have a height-adjustable monitor, make sure the 5" rise of this desk will work for you - I did have to adjust the height of my monitor to suit the change. You might want to invest in an anti-fatique standing mat - I got a small one (17x22") that has a handle, which makes it easier to store and grab, and therefore it's more likely for me to use this desk for standing work.Price: I did a lot of research prior to purchase, and this was priced very well compared to the two most popular brands, and it was the only one with the size profile I needed.Definitely an A+

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 was a bit wary about this as the price of this is as much as getting a self rising desk, but I really didn't want to get rid of my desk so I bit the bullet. I'm so glad I did. The hardest part was clearing the desk. I have two monitors and knock knacks and it smooth up and down. I'm around 6ft and I found the height really comfortable. I wanted something to work with a walking pad and this is perfect. If you want to keep your desk, but want it to be a little healthier, this is a great (and rather good looking) solution.

I have the 42” riser with two 24” monitors. It comes assembled except for the keyboard tray. It's fairly steady, but does move a bit when extended. I have this on a desk that is about 20" wide. The only issue is the area for the mouse is small (see photos). I use a Logi MX Master 3S and there's just enough room for my wrist and the mouse. It's about 8" of space. The wrist rest I have hangs off so I'm going to try a smaer wrest/pad. Mouse tracks fine on the surface, so I don't need a pad. For the price, it's a good deal.

Exactly what I needed for my work setup. Easily fits my 2 large displays, my laptop and my secondary keyboard if I choose to use it. First pic shows how I can still use everything in my sitting position and the next is with keyboard on unit. Last is the full height. Super easy to go up/down and stops anywhere in between. Don't put your full weight on it, it's not meant for that but holds the computers perfectly. Wish I'd gotten it sooner.

I was not sure how this was going to be because I thought it was not as expensive as the others. This is so well made and easy to use. I absolutely love this!! Highly recommend!
