VIVO Standing 81 cm Desk Converter, Height Adjustable Riser, Sit to Stand Dual Monitor and Laptop Workstation with Wide Keyboard Tray, Black, DESK-V000K

I have been looking at standing desk options for quite some time, but could find nothing that gave me the required space, the option of converting my existing desk was a solution at the fraction of the cost of buying a replacement desk. On delivery I was surprised at how heavy the convertor was, it is very sturdy and robust. Assembly is extremely easy - four screws secure the keyboard shelf in position, fit the rubber feet and you're ready to go! Cut the cable tie holding the shelf in position, with no weight on it the assembly rises like a rocket - scared the living dayights out of me! By the time the shelf is loaded with a monitor, laptop and odds & sods etc the rate of rise is more sedate! Raising the convertor is achieved by operating a lever on the right hand side - you therefore need to make sure there is clearance on the right-hand side of the convertor to access the lever easily - 3 to 4" is sufficient. Lowering the convertor is achieved by operating the lever and pushing down on the convertor monitor shelf, there is a latch on the right of the convertor to secure the assembly on the fully down position. In the raised position the convertor is very stable - even at maximum height it would require considerable effort to knock it over! The keyboard shelf is a good size - large enough for a full size keyboard, mouse and A5 notepad Practically in everyday use it is great - so much easier and relaxing to be able to stand and move around particularly when in meetings and still be able to use the keyboard/mouse and take notes as required. Great buy - only regret not buying this earlier!

As someone who spends long hours at a desk and has been struggling with a bad back, I decided it was time to invest in a standing desk solution. After some research, I opted for the VIVO 107 cm Desk Converter, and I am absolutely delighted with my purchase. I'm giving it a full 5 stars! From the moment it arrived, I was impressed. The setup was incredibly straightforward. I was a bit worried I'd be spending my afternoon with complicated instructions and a bag full of screws, but it was practically ready to use straight out of the box. All I had to do was attach the keyboard tray, which took less than 10 minutes. The main reason for buying this was to have the flexibility to switch between sitting and standing, and I'm hoping this will make a real difference to my back pain. The mechanism for raising and lowering the desk is brilliant. It's assisted by gas springs, so it requires very little effort to lift, even with my large monitor, laptop, speakers, and other bits and pieces on it. A simple squeeze of the handle on the side, and it glides up or down to the desired height smoothly and quietly. The build quality feels really solid and stable, both in the sitting and standing positions. There's no wobble, which was a key concern for me. The surface area is generous; as you can see from my pictures, it easily accommodates my widescreen monitor and laptop, with plenty of space left over. The separate keyboard and mouse tray is also a great feature, as it keeps my typing posture comfortable and ergonomic. Overall, I can't recommend this desk converter enough. It's a high-quality, well-designed, and easy-to-use piece of kit that has transformed my workspace. If you're looking for an affordable and effective way to create a sit-stand setup, look no further.

Ridiculously easy to assemble, literally 5 mins. Very easy to use, height is perfect on this one when i am standing up (i am 6ft). One down side is the Keyboard tray is FIXED once assembled. If this was foldable or could slide this literally is a 'move anywhere' work station. I woild have no problems putting this in when working away in hotels etc. It does say can use two monitors, well they would have to be small, i would say max 15 inches each. Overall delighted!!!!

The desk converter works well and raises high enough for comfortable standing use. The wood style finish looks great in person - more like a real desk than a typical plastic riser. The lifting mechanism is smooth and quiet, and easy to operate with one hand. The only weak point is the keyboard tray. It’s a bit wobbly since it’s attached with small screws, and you can’t adjust its height independently – it always stays about three inches below the main surface. Still, for the price, it feels sturdy and well-built overall. I'd say it's good value for anyone wanting a functional standing setup without spending hundreds.

It's not perfect, but still gets five stars for doing a great job at a very reasonable price. The good: well designed and hydraulic arm and cable seem to be sturdy and function well. Easy to use at different heights and also to close and store. Not so good: 1. Shelf for keyboard doesn't retract, so sticks out a lot and gets in the way. I have removed it (you have to screw it on anyway when it arrives) and just put my laptop stand on it (and monitor stand too when needed). I'm over 6 ft and this works fine. 2. Surface of the desk is shiny - things can move or slip off it easily. If facing a window light/sunshine/glare reflects off it. Also worth noting - it takes a bit of welly to get the desk down because of the hydraulic arm. So if you are short and frail this may not be the best option for you. But overall I think it's fab!

Love it. It's sturdy, no movement when you type. Assembly was fairly easy. Perfect for working from home and goes well with walking treadmill. Easy to transition up and down. The wood effect is nice too.

Great item, easily adjusted, nice finish on the material. One thing (my personal opinion) would be a tiny bit more support for the bottom shelf.

Great piece of kit that transforms an existing desk. Easy to assemble and even easier to use.
