5.0 out of 5 stars Was hesitant at first, but so worth it.

Been using this for 5 months now, adjusting the height at least 1-3 x a day. Given the usage, can say that it's solidly built, the hydraulics glides smoothly, and is large enough to fit a laptop dock, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and small notepad. It's not light enough to easily transport around (this won't be a bring-to-coworking-space-everyday type of accessory), but not heavy enough that a 120lb woman can't move it off the dining table herself when there's company over (admittedly rare these days 'cos COVID).

Originally, I wasn't sure about spending this much for a desk accessory that my work won't expense but now, I have no regrets. Worth every penny.

PS. If a black industrial looking thing isn't your taste, use stick on wall paper or contact paper. I used marbled contact paper with a hair dryer for the rounded edges.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a digital illustrator, and probably you, too!
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2017

For the price, you can't beat this sit-stand converter.

I'm a digital artist who has been seeking an affordable and portable way to stand up while I work. This fits the bill nicely. One of the main draws of this converter for an illustrator is that it DOESN'T sacrifice the primary surface area for a keyboard deck. This is a no frills slab with plenty of room to fit a monitor, keyboard, drawing tablet, and a mouse. I keep my keyboard resting on the foot of my monitor stand, and my drawing tablet at the front.

If you are looking at this as a digital illustrator, I can not say how it would handle a massive Cintiq, but it will work well for most drawing tablets. There is some spring to the desk when one is leaning heavily on it, but it is negligible. This is a toolless converter, so it's ready to go right out of the box. Adjusting the height of the desk is smooth and controlled; you don't have to worry about a desk under load (within weight capacity) bearing all of its weight on your hands when you raise or lower it. In terms of portability, the unit is heavy, but it is portable in the sense that it'll easily go where you want it to without the fuss of disassembly or the worry that it will not be able to fit through doorways or narrow spaces.

For reference, I am just under six feet, and the maximum height for this stand is more than enough.

I would say that unless you're looking for maximum ergonomic support/keyboard decks, this desk converter is perfect for anyone spending a lot of time at the computer looking to improve their health by standing more often while working or just during general computer use - highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Using it - but disappointed in the WOBBLE FACTOR! UPDATE - SURFACE IS BUBBLING - GARBAGE!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2017
Verified Purchase
this is not bad item overall and has a decent build - HOWEVER - I had to create a "support beam" (plastic tube cut to the appropriate hight) for when it is in the up position, and a smaller support for when in the down position. It wobbles too much when up, and also wobbles when in the furthest down position.
Without my home made supports I could not use this - TOO WOBBLY! Why didn't they design this with some simple retractable supports to avoid the wobble? I have been using it at work and I like it, but certainly disappointed in this design flaw. I expected better from Amazon.

UPDATE: NOW THE TOP COVERING IS BUBBLING - WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK! DO NOT BUY - ZERO STARS

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be much sturdier.
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2017
Verified Purchase
I bought this to replace a four-legged stand that did not adjust low enough for my height but was EXTREMELY:sturdy. While this stand adjusts easily to virtually any height, there is a lot of sway on the top if you put even the slightest amount of pressure on the front edge. Having taught keyboarding eons ago, I know that the appropriate position for the hands over the keyboard is to never have the heels of the hands resting on the desk or keyboard, but let's face it--when you spend a great deal of time at the keyboard, you sometime want to just relax your hands. This desk probably can my handle that, but it sort of feels like when it sways it it might eventually break. I'm trying to get used to it and will keep it because I do like the infinite height adjustment and because it's darn heavy and I don't have the energy to re-box it and ship it back. We'll see how it goes.

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2017

This is very much what I was looking for.

It is fairly expensive, IMO, for what it is, but it works as I'd hoped it would with one caveat: There seem to be certain "set" levels at which it is stable, but between those settings it can feel a little mushy/bouncy.

But again, overall, this is helpful to me in my battle against sciatica.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT!
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2017
Verified Purchase
Absolutely LOVE IT! It sure beats trying to use a big box from the market. I LOVE my desk and didn't want to get rid of it (for a full sit stand desk) so this works great. It's only 2.5 inches from the lowest point to 20 inches at the highest point. It's very sturdy. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I think I'll be doing a LOT more standing from now on. It totally changes my work environment because it's just SO easy to go from sitting to standing and back to sitting again. I looked at some of the others but the dimensions of this one makes for the best fit for the desk I have now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive and Quality Build Seems Good
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020

Do not seem to notice a wobble feature that few are mentioning in the reviews. Due to COVID-19 I ended up purchasing this piece for the long haul of working from home for quite some time. I am 5'8" and this can be set at a comfortable height. I have a hutch on my IKEA desk and there is just enough clearance to put this on with a 32" lcd monitor, keyboard and mouse. It does what it is intended to do. Have the ability to remove from my desk in the future should I choose to.

2.0 out of 5 stars heavy but wobbly
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2018

The only way to eliminate the wobbliness, you have to use maximum height, which makes it not work for putting on top of desk surface. I'll have to buy something more sturdy elsewhere now. You'd think something that heavy be a lot more stable.

Con el confinamiento por el COVID-19 me vi obligado a trabajar desde casa en una mesa escritorio muy pequeña y con una silla poco adecuada. Sin espacio para más encontré este adaptador que por medidas era el tamaño justo para poner en mi escritorio y así permitirme trabajar ratos largos de pie. Ahora lo uso un 85% de pie y un 15% en la posición baja para estar sentado. Fácil de montar (ya viene montado) y de usar, se puede poner en cualquier posición dentro de su rango, y sólo has de tener cuidado que no atrape los cables al bajarlo. Para mi es ideal trabajando con el teclado del portátil y un monitor externo. Su superficie, a una sola altura, no da para mucho más, así que si quieres trabajar con un teclado externo igual te interese otro tipo de convertidores. En mi caso la estabilidad no es perfecta ya que tengo que tener el monitor, el elemento más pesado, muy al borde, y al estar en posición erguida tiembla un poco, y en la posición baja queda la superficie ligeramente inclinada hacía atras. Pero en ningún caso parece peligroso con un uso habitual. Eso sí controlad el peso que le añadís y pensad que el propio convertidor ya pesa lo suyo. Yo estoy muy satisfecho después de casi un mes de uso continuo y mi espalda lo agradece.

I purchased this item as “not new” condo.
However, I can find no blemish on the product - great result for me.
As expected, the external packing was a bit battered, but the internal packing materials did their job.
This now completes my work from home office.
