Adjustable Height Standing Desk Converter | 32" Wide in Black Includes Anti-Fatigue Mat | Fits Dual Monitors with Retractable Keyboard Tray

I am very pleased with this purchase, at $170, it was a healthy decision. I have used automated standing desks for years, and prefer a Jarvis model 48" desk for work - though they can cost around $600. I am currently away from my home office for several months, and refuse to hurt my back from seating while working, however, Im not going to drop a huge price on another standing desk. The House of Trade Standing Desk is a perfect replacement for my situation, and I imagine most people will be satisfied with it. I have a 27" monitor and huge 20" laptop very comfortable situated on the 32" HoT Standing Desk devive, and I love how easy it is to swap from standing to seated mode. The lack of electrical parts is a huge bonus, the air-powered mechanism is so simple! It works flawlessly and virtually effortlessly (though 2 hands are required for adjustment). I am already reccomending this product to many friends who are leery of spending big on a standing desk. I really like where the keyboard tray sits. The only qualms I have are as follows: the keyboard tray is not really big enough for a mouse as well, though I compensate by turning my mouse sensitivity up super high so I barely have to move it to travel across two screens (which is probably healthier for wrists anyways). The keyboard tray needs a little lip on the back - its very easy to knock the mouse behind it, which will damage the mouse over time. Also, its very easy to get wires squished on the sides of the desk when going from standing to seated mode, though its not a problem if you simply remember to guide them towards the back before you go to seated mode (just dont do it in a hurry, be patient with wires and its fine). I think they just need to add a little hook for wires to force them to come out the back, and a lip around the back of the keyboard tray for mouse protection, and this device would be perfect.

I got this so I could avoid all the lengthy sessions of working while seated. [Remote IT worker]. I really like it ... a lot.One caveat though, I haven't yet used it while seated - so I can't report on the ergonomics/usability in that configuration. It does move up/down easily and locks in place firmly, in its preset positions. Mine went all the way up and stayed there [so far]. The main reason I haven't tried it seated is I have it on a counter top that has some wall mounted shelving behind the monitors & this unit needs a little bit of room behind it to descend. This is not a product defect - if that hard mounted shelf wasn't there [and it won't be for long]: it would drop easily. I could still drop it by pulling the monitors all the way forward - just haven't done that yet.* Setup was a total breeze: unpack it, place & position it where you want, put stuff on it and go.* Well built, sturdy and really important to me: very stable - especially the keyboard tray, which doesn't slide in or out or bounce while in use.* Attractive. Prior to receiving it, I had the back woods version: two monitors up on tidy cat litter buckets - keyboard on stuff stacked on a chair. :-). Nice matte finish on the metal parts and the two surfaces are a really cool black sheen.* Designed for ergonomics - the top surface front cut-out gives you a nice look at the keyboard, while providing 2 neat projections for your hands/drink/mouse, etc. The keyboard tray height is maybe a tad low for me: in the top position it's ~1.5" below my elbow [I'm 5'9"]. I ended up using some of the packing material under my keyboard to build it up 1.5" so my forearms are now level while typing. In the low/seated position, it might be perfect [dunno].* OK a little funny for some: the packing material had some of the thickest, strongest cardboard panels I've ever seen. If you had enough of the [2] large panels, you could build an interior wall that would actually be pretty strong. I like to re-purpose stuff and love this cardboard. :-)It came pretty quickly and I went cold turkey from being a slouchy programmer to a stand up guy the day I got it. Took my feet a while to get with the program, but they're getting there. I found I seem to be more alert and seem to have more energy during the day now. Took me a little while to get used to doing the real focused/intense coding while standing ... not sure why - maybe being seated is associated with hard focus for me. But, this too has come around.For those of you spending gobs of time sitting in front of a workstation all day ... consider something like this and you'll probably like it too. And this product seems the best price point for a solid offering in the line of standing desks.
