Simple to assemble and works great
I just received this three days ago after some research. I liked that it was bigger than most stand-up converters, which are usually 32", and the reviews were solid. The price was reasonable—not the highest, but not the lowest either. I'm 5'3" and 115 lbs, so moving the box from my front door to my office was a bit tricky, but the setup was straightforward. I suggest attaching the keyboard after you add the foot extenders—you just extend them. The instructions had you flipping the desk over to screw in the keyboard upside down, which was tough for me. So far, I'm really happy with it! I can adjust the height easily, it fits in well with my space due to the matte black finish, and it feels sturdy (my larger monitor shakes a little when I'm typing hard, but it’s not an issue). I've been using it for about 30 minutes to an hour at a time with breaks in between since I heard that's a good way to ease into standing all day. I'm also waiting for a standing desk pad to come, which will make my setup even better.

Awesome for staying productive
My Oura Ring won't keep nagging me to stretch my legs anymore! This has really changed the game for me. I love how spacious it is; it fits everything I need. I wish I had gotten this during tax season because it would have made those long hours so much easier. I feel way less tired and way more productive now. It’s easy to adjust the height, moves smoothly, and seems well-made. Plus, it only took about 10 minutes to put together!

Best decision ever, saved my back!!!
If you're on the fence about getting one of these, just go for it! You won't regret it. Putting it together was easy and only took a few minutes with a screwdriver. It feels sturdy when adjusting the height, and lifting it up and down isn’t hard at all (I have issues with my hands). I have a wireless ergonomic keyboard and mouse, which fit nicely, and there’s even some space left for my wrists. If I knew I'd be in this small office for a while, I might have chosen the 36" instead of the 42". Having a bad back (sciatica), this adjustable desk really helps me switch positions whenever I need to, keeping me comfortable during my long work hours. I just wish I had made this purchase sooner!

Really happy with this desk converter!
As a bookkeeper and book editor, I spend lots of time sitting and I've had my share of hip and leg pain. My chiropractor mentioned that my discs are starting to compress, so I decided to try a stand-up desk converter. I've been using this one for about two weeks now, and I'm already feeling some relief from the pain. I thought standing while working would take a bit to get used to, but I actually loved it pretty quickly. The converter is sturdy, easy to put together, and the mechanism for raising and lowering works smoothly. I definitely recommend it!

Solid desk riser
I got the 32" model since I spend a lot of time at my desk but didn't want to shell out big bucks for a new one. This riser has worked out well! Here are my thoughts: PROS: - Sturdy and feels well-made - Simple to switch between standing and sitting - Comes with zip ties for easy cable management - The keyboard space is surprisingly spacious (bigger than it looks in the pics) - Plenty of room for my desk items and monitor, though I don't have two monitors; it might be a tight fit for that. CONS: - Delivered in a box with the product name, so watch out for porch pirates. - The adjustment handles can be a little quick if there's no weight on the desk. - Just be careful with cords near the bottom levers because they can get pinched; you can squeeze them under the stand, though. Overall, I think it's a great desk riser, especially if you're looking for an affordable option to help you stand more. I'm 5'9" and my monitor is right at eye level without any adjustable stand.

Great for my back!
If you're thinking about getting one of these desks, just go for it. You won’t regret it! It was easy to set up—took just a few minutes and a screwdriver. It feels sturdy when moving up and down, and I can lift it without any trouble, even with my bad hands. I use a wireless ergonomic keyboard and mouse, and there’s still a little space for my wrists to rest. I got the 42" version, but if I could do it again knowing I'm in a small office, I probably would have picked the 36". I have sciatica, and this adjustable desk lets me switch positions without messing up my workflow, which is a huge deal since my days are long. I just wish I had made this decision sooner!

Easy to set up and works well
I just got this three days ago after doing some research. I liked the size (most stand up converters were 32" and I wanted something a little wider) and reviews were good, plus it was mid range as far as price - not the most expensive and not the cheapest. I am 5'3" 115 lbs so it was a bit of a challenge to move the box from my front door to my office, but otherwise, pretty easy to set up. I do recommend attaching the keyboard after you attach the foot extenders (just expand it). For some reason, the instructions have you turn the desk over and want you to screw in the keyboard upside down which proved too difficult for me. So far, I really like it - i like that I can adjust it to any height. It blends in without being obnoxious because of the matte black finish, is sturdy (my bigger monitor wiggles a tiny bit when I'm vigorously typing but it's not a big deal), and it's easy to move up and down. I've been using it about 30 minutes to an hour at a time with sitting breaks in between, since I read it's good to build up to standing all day. I'm waiting for a standing desk pad to arrive, and then my set up will be even better.

Great item! Would recommend it!
I'm a bookkeeper and book editor, so I spend many hours most days sitting. I've been suffering from hip and leg aches, and my chiropractor pointed out in my X-ray that my discs are beginning to be compressed. So he suggested getting one of these stand-up desk converters. I've been using this one for about two weeks, and I am definitely seeing some improvement in lessening the pain. I thought it would take me longer to get used to standing to work, but I loved it within a couple days. This unit is well-made, was easily assembled, and has a smooth raise/lower mechanism. I would definitely recommend this item.

Yes--with a caveat
My back was killing me! I finally spasmed out while sitting at a desk, training 6 hours/day during remote learning. My doc put me off work and advised I do something about my work environment. I have the best ergonomic chair; it's just that humans were not meant to sit that long. Hence, the standing desk. I looked it up. Expense is expense. Replace the desk, or add to it, same price. Can't pay enough for good health! However, I grabbed the most economical one with good reviews. It came sooner than expected. It said one week, but arrived by weekend. I was able to get it up and running for the workweek. It’s heavy. Due to delivery placement on my porch, I was able to topple it inside to the office. One needs help putting it on the desk. Unboxing was easy. Lift, slide out, adjust on desk. Sigh. Parts to assemble. The footends were easy-peasy, contrary to what another reviewer said. However, believe the reviews of the keyboard attachment. The screws are too short. They just spin around and around; I wish I could show you video. Sigh. I have to make a trip to Home Depot to remedy that, so a star off. It's not as easy as my desk at the office with release handles up and down; this one needs push/pull pressure. With my back killing me at the moment, no bueno. But as my back gets better, it's not a lot of pressure one has to apply. After my Home Depot trip for alternate screws (see pic), I was able to assemble keyboard stand. Now, all is well. Sturdy. It does the trick. Beautifully white matches my office decor. Nice, big, easy.
