Ergo-Stand - Convert Desk to Stand Up Desk (Maple)

I got this to convert my cubicle workspace into a stand-up office. Like many folks, I am unable to modify my workspace since the cubicle system is helping to support my neighbor's workspace. The ergo stand works very well for me. I've been using it for about a month now and so far so good. It's non intrusive and simply sits on top your existing desk. I put a soft spongy pad on the floor and I'm able to work quite comfortably standing up, often without my shoes on for even more comfort. It did take me a couple weeks to build up my stamina but I'm used to it all now.Before you buy, carefully measure your desktop height to be sure you'll be within the ergonomic tolerance for your body with the stand in place. I found this added the proper height to my desk with no modifications and at 6 feet tall, it worked out just right. I imagine you could add spacers under the legs if you needed it higher but it was just right for me.What I liked most about this model is that it's deep enough to hold my monitor and my keyboard and mouse. Other similar items look to be a bit narrower and wouldn't hold the monitor and keyboard without hanging over the edge. It's very professional looking and very beefy and strong.Shipping was good -- double boxed with Styrofoam at the corners for protection. I also dded a foot rest to make things even more comfortable.

I love standing at my desk instead of sitting, and I like this desk stand pretty well. And it's American-made in Detroit.It's solidly made, doesn't slip around and looks nice. I like that it has cut-out areas on the top and bottom of each side panel because I end up passing my keyboard and mouse through them occasionally in order to work on the lower surface sometimes. Fortunately I have an adjustable monitor that tilts forward and adjusts up and down, so when I or my family wants to sit instead of stand the ergonomics are still reasonable with a tall stool.The biggest difficulty I find is that it reduces the overall workspace on my rather-small-to-begin-with desk by dividing it up into smaller sections.Also, if I could ask one thing of the designers I would have them round the top corners slightly--they're a bit sharp. Overall, I'm pleased.

This is by the best purchase I have made in my professional career.The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is that I am 5'10 and have to stack books on top of the desk to make it fit my height while standing.Someone who is between 5'6 & 5'9 would do well without additional height.It's very sturdy and well made.

This stand is awesome! It is well-made, sturdy, and attractive. When I purchased it, I immediately received an email from the company, Bargain Office Equipment, In which they thanked me for the purchase. The stand arrived in a short amount of time. I would most definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to $500 and $600 standing computer desks!Another bonus over computer desks is the ease of it - just put it on your existing desk, set your monitor and keyboard on it, and you've converted to a standing computer desk! Excellent product!

My only complaint is that the veneer was chipped a little and I don't have time to deal with replacing it. But this stand is heavy (no wobbling), the desk surface is larger than I expected, and it looks nice in "curly maple". The height is perfect for me -- I'm 5'5" and am often in 2"-3" heels -- but (one drawback) it only comes in one height.

I'd been looking for a desk riser to use at work for some time but hadn't found anything that truly fit the bill until I came across this. Sturdy, well-made, attractive, and the perfect height for me to stand at my desk. It's deep enough to support two monitors on stands plus the keyboard and mouse. It's expensive, and it's heavy, but it's worth it!

After 5 years of sitting 9 hours a day, this item has finally ended the abuse I was putting on my back and legs. Sturdy, well crafted, user friendly and most importantly, cost effective !!!!I have had it for 1 month. The transition from sitting all day to standing most of the day was not an easy one. (my feet and ankles were sore for a week !)Now I am standing for 95% of my day and after work am totally able to function on an athletic level, (run, jump, workout, play hide and seek with my 5 year old) without pulling a hammy or a quad. I can feel the blood returning to my lower extremities.After searching on the internet for 6 months, this product is by far the best out there.

I am a pastor in Michigan and much of my work involves studying and computer work. Before I got this product I would spend most of the day sitting down. Now I spend most of the day on my feet, and I feel a lot more energized and efficient. This stand up desk is solid and well made. There is no doubt that it is worth the money. Are you sick of being stuck in a chair all day, trying to stay awake? Buy this...you won't regret it.
