5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Solution for Home Office Back Pain!

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } 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.

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 notepadPractically 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!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's solid, smaller than I thought, needs a bit of effort to push down but would recommend

Its solid and it works well. A bit stiff to push down. It's big but just fits monitor and laptop. One thing that would make it better is if the ledge for the keyboard slid in. It doesn't and sticks out proud of the main shelf all the time. This shelf also just fits keyboard and mouse with no room for a mouse mat. I would recommend despite the niggles.

This was a perfect purchase for something it probably wasn't originally intended for. It was the solution for building my small music studio without using large stand-alone keyboard stands. Easy to put together and easy to adjust height. Good product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend

Bought for a member of staff at the office. Excellent rising desk. Good quality

5.0 out of 5 stars Cost effective and robust

Very easy to assemble, and seems pretty sturdy. Hydraulics to lift and lower work well and are adjustable if you want it to go up / down faster.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Desk Upgrade!

This was much cheaper and easier than replacing my current desk with a standing one. Been using for months supporting two monitors without issue, the height adjustment is really easy and lightweight to use.Was also fairly easy and quick to assemble.

LOVE. With caveats. But LOVE.

Said keyboard/mouse platform is shown to hang over the edge of your desk. So what is the everloving purpose of putting those cushiony pads on the bottom of a thing that is going to hang over empty space?My home-office desk is *just* deep enough that with the "back" of the riser on the edge opposite where I sit/stand, one of those cushiony buffer pads hits the top of the desk when I have the riser fully collapsed, and it feels super sturdy (and I have the wire from my keyboard to my docking station running straight down the middle, and it doesn't get pinched or snagged at all).Still, there are two more of those beautiful, soft, cushiony, under-the-keyboard-platform padded little guys just hanging out over the void, just dangling their beautiful little bits over my knees and questioning their purpose in life.Otherwise, I'm super happy with the space provided and the sturdiness. I'm sorry to see the reviews that show significant wobbling with little amounts of pressure, because that has not been my experience at all. My unit is super sturdy, so I feel like those disappointed in this area might have gotten something defective.In terms of the space itself: note my pic showing my monitors. These are unreasonably massive monitors provided by my employer. The kind of massively massive monitors that make you feel like you're getting sucked into Tron with an obligation to fight for the user. But there's more than enough space for them to fit comfortably, even with their individual stands.Said keyboard/mouse platform is where I am only very slightly disappointed. Note the pic of those two pieces of hardware: that's a standard, American-blooded, Chinese-made, Wal-Mart-bought mousepad, and fitting it in comfortably requires angling the keyboard a bit. It actually works perfectly for me, because I like that keyboard angle. But you should note the dimensions. I got the 32" model based on the constraints of the desk I'm using.One of the things I love the most about this device is that it's considerably smoother to raise and lower than the sit/stand device I had in my company's office before we all started working from home. That one that my employer provided was, yes, made by THAT sit/stand company we're all thinking about.Ok, I'll just say it: it was a VariDesk, and their closest comparative model costs almost four times as much as this sweet little baby.In terms of vertical dimensions, I'm 5'10", and when I pull my VIVO guy up to my ideal standing height, there's a lot more room to go from there.So overall, I couldn't be happier. I would recommend this unit to everyone from my best friends to my worst enemies (because everyone deserves a comfortable workspace).The packaging is unclear regarding where VIVO's stuff is actually made, but they provide actual US-based customer support contact info. So if you have an issue, it seems to me that this is a MUCH better option than the motorized sit/stand desks where tons of people have left frustrated reviews because something broke and it took them months and months to get a customer-support response from someone in China.I guess that sums it up. Just basically, buy this kind boy and live your best work life.

Great!

Really like this stand attachment. I would highly recommend. So much cheaper than other ones I’ve seen with now downside

Great, especially for the price

B. · 23 October 2023

I'm using this with a dual monitor mount (https://www.Bolo.com.au/gp/product/B009S750LA/) for which it has a predrilled grommet hole. It's big enough to fit the two monitors, MacBook Pro (closed), large power board, and Thunderbolt dock. It's solid, steady, and easy to raise and lower. I'm actually surprised just how well it works, and it's comfortable enough to use that I find myself standing at it all day now.One wish for improvement: I'd like to be able to adjust the keyboard shelf backwards and forwards - it's not quite in the right place for me when the desk is lowered to the sitting position.

Cumple con lo descrito

Excelente para tomar reuniones de pie, estirar un poco el cuerpo 10/10

Perfect!! Just what I needed!

R. · 29 October 2022

I’m actually quite surprised at the quality of this product, it far exceeded my expectations! Working from home and sitting down all day fatigues my muscles and this converter is perfect. Easy to assemble, lifting and lowering it is a breeze. The only improvement I would suggest is the ability to roll the keyboard stand under the desk instead of having it protrude all of the time. I wish the keyboard stand wasn’t stationary and had the ability to retract in and out of the desk but other that that, I love it!
