VIVO 36 inch Desk Converter, K Series, Height Adjustable Sit to Stand Riser, Dual Monitor and Laptop Workstation with Wide Keyboard Tray, Dark Walnut Top, Black Frame, DESK-V036KA

I purchased this desk converter 2 years ago, when I decided it would be best to stand while working in the office, instead of sitting like I had done for years. Especially after an accident caused back issues. I still utilize it while standing, but it can be raised and lowered based on preference and height. REGARDING ASSEMBLY: It was very easy to assemble, although the pieces are a little heavy. I don't consider myself stronger than average, and was able to assemble myself. REGARDING FUNCTIONALITY & QUALITY: Very sturdy. I have two 17" monitors on stands on the top part. There is plenty of extra space for papers and materials, etc. The keyboard stand is big, and would fit an oversized keyboard, and still have extra space. I am 5'7" and with the desk stand raised up all the way, the monitors are eye level and my arms are at a perfect 90 degree angle when using the keyboard. When raising the stand, there is some resistance and you really have to use your arm & back muscles. At first, I thought I would lower it everyday before I leave, but not worth the effort lol. It's not too bad, I don't view it as a negative, because it is really sturdy. The stand does not wobble, move, shake or anything, even when I lean on it. I actually love this and it's worth the money. Two years later, it is still like new. A few months ago, we ended up purchasing 3 more, for other office employees that requested one. They all have the same feedback as mentioned above, except for they are different heights- no one taller than me.

Bought this for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. Assembly was simple and straightforward—no headaches or guessing. The quality is excellent and it feels very well made, not flimsy at all. The lift tension is adjustable, but honestly it was perfect right out of the box and didn’t need any tweaking. A+++

Super happy with what I feel is the best option for my home office setup. Basics out of the way first: Assembly is essentially nothing, just attach the keyboard/mouse platform and stick the cushiony buffers to the bottom of that keyboard/mouse platform. The only thing that is ridiculous, and it is ridiculous: Note the product images showing how you can set this up. 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.

This VIVO desk converter has been a great addition to my workspace. It was very easy to assemble and looks fantastic—the dark walnut top adds a nice touch of style. I use it daily with both a laptop and a monitor, and raising it to standing height is quick and smooth. It doesn’t go quite as low as I’d like when sitting, and there’s a very slight wobble (I solved it with a pad of Post-its under one foot), but neither issue has been a dealbreaker. For the price, it offers solid convenience and functionality without the bulk or expense of a full sit-stand desk. If you’re looking for an affordable standing desk solution that looks good and works well with dual screens, this is a great option. Highly recommend for home offices or hybrid setups!

This was so easy to put together. Did it myself in about 15 minutes. Quality was good, all the predrilled holes lined up perfectly. I did need help getting it onto the desk (I have the 42" version). I bought this after a few years of working remotely since COVID, with increasingly bad lower back issues recently - always worse after sitting at my desk all day. I've only been using this for a little over a week, but within days the lower back pain is significantly improved. I alternate standing/sitting several times per work day. It has made a HUGE difference. Raising the desk is effortless, lowering takes a little more force, but still simple. Make sure you measure your desk area per the specs. I'm very glad I got the 42". Plenty of space for my laptop and 24" monitor, with room to spare. My immediate thought is I can't believe I waited this long to get something like this. I've never reviewed a product and said it changed my life, but that very well may be the case with this product.

I purchased the 26", smallest, platform. I have been looking forever, constantly measuring bc I have a laptop and I hook up to one 26" monitor. I wanted something unobtrusive and attractive. I couldn't find anything with a keyboard base that was big enough to fit my laptop, but I'm making this one work for a few reasons. After reading countless reviews on many many platforms, this one takes it for many reasons. Pros: -super easy to glide up and down. It is very easy (I can do it one handed) -very sturdy and definitely good quality. It is definably built to stand up without tipping. Zero wobbles, I tried to make it reasonabley shake and it didn't. -lools great! It looks really nice with the grey scheme the office has. It is not an eye sore like some are. Not big and bulky, nice design. -very functional. It is a con for me but probably wouldn't be for someone with a 'normal' keyboard: Con - small keyboard area. I wish it were only 3" wider!! I am going to cut to fit and piece of wood that will slide under the bottom and extend 4" so I can have my laptop and my wrist rest properly down. When I have the platform raised, I will not be able to do that, but I can work on ergonomicly correcting my wrists/hands when I type standing. Over all, first week, I'm very happy with my purchase. It was a black Friday $100 deal. Not expensive. I will update my review later if anything changes down the road. I don't think it will though! I recommend.

Great riser! Very sturdy. Easy assembly. I bought my first one five years ago for my office and another one in Apr 2025 for my home office. I have the 32 in, and there's plenty of room for my keyboard and mouse, so it doesn't take up my entire desk space.

Very sturdy, looks great and works perfectly!
