TechOrbits Black 36 in Standing Desk Converter, OF-S06-2

Literally just delivered. The bottom of the picture on the wall is at 51". I have a narrow desk (20" w). The keyboard tray extends 3" past it. But I don't care. Photo 1 shows it all the way down. Photo 2 shows it at the height I'll be using it at. Photo 3 shows it at its full height. It's crazy tall! You could put this on a coffee table and it will be as high as a normal desk, I would imagine. Maybe a bit taller. The top is slightly textured, which I like (photo 4). The Amazon delivery driver dropped this off at a nearby first floor condo. I'm on the second floor. It was light enough and small enough for me to carry it upstairs. As for installation, all I had to do was pull it out of the box, add three self sticking pads (which weren't needed due to my narrow desk) to the bottom of the keyboard tray, place the tray on the brackets and screw in four screws. Boom...done! Mine had no flaws that I could find. There are two openings on the top for you to put your hands when raising and lowering it. The mechanism for adjusting it is on the right side. There aren't two, like on the one I have at work. But it works just fine. The price is fantastic and well worth it. If you're considering getting one...this is the one to get! A side note, if the cables to your monitor aren't long, you may want to consider ordering a longer one so it reaches the full height of the desk when extended. I use a wireless keyboard, so there's no issue there. I'm so glad to get off my rear when I'm working on the computer seven days a week at home and at work. I have carpet at my desk, so I didn't feel the need to purchase a gel pad to stand on. Though I do have one at work and I highly recommend it so you don't have any issues with your legs and back.

I have a standing desk at work and I've been sorely wanting one for home as sitting on your butt is uncomfortable after a while, never mind unhealthy. Assembly is very easy, literally just a couple of screws for the keyboard tray. Raising and lowering is also very easy, can do it one handed no sweat. Very little wobble on the monitor as I'm typing, pretty sturdy. If I had any nits to pick it's pretty minor, makes the keyboard sit up higher than what I'm used to so had to raise my chair to keep it fairly ergonomic. Used to have a keyboard tray that sits under the desk, now it's about an inch over the top of the desk. Not a deal breaker, a few adjustments to the workstation and I'm good to go. Can highly recommend this unit if you're looking to get off your butt for a while.

So far, so good. I got the 37-inch version, and it is *large.* Fortunately, my keyboard is also massive, so the space is well utilized. The full desk is reasonably heavy (lots of metal), so make sure the table/desk you put it on is up to the task. As other reviewers have mentioned, it can be difficult to get started when raising, but lowering is no issue. The desk raises quite high - I only use about two-thirds of the max height normally. It is also worth noting that in its lowest position, the keyboard and mouse will be raised by about an inch, and the monitor by roughly 4.5 inches, so this product functions quite well as a riser for your monitor even when sitting. My biggest complaint is that the difference of about 3.5 inches between the keyboard and the monitor's base is not great proportions when standing; I would like my monitor to be noticeably higher. My solution was to purchase a VESA monitoring stand that supports a significant tilt, which makes up the difference pretty well. I haven't had the product for long (at the time of this review), but overall I am very impressed.

TLDR is the summary at the end. I like this one. Its not super fancy by any means but it more than gets the job done. The 37" width is good for dual monitors (I have two 24" HP's). The weird little phone slot is unnecessary but kind of nice, it wouldn't work with thicker phone cases but my work phone (Iphone 11 XR with Otterbox Commuter case) and personal phone (Samsung note 8 with Spigen case) fit it just fine. Things I like: -The 37" width makes the keyboard tray wider so I can have more room for my mouse/notepad on the right and somewhere to set a phone or drink on the left. -It comes with little foam pads for under the keyboard tray so you don't slam it down on the desk when lowering. -Fully adjustable height, stop it wherever you want. -The top is plastic coated so you could set drinks and stuff on it without much of any issues from condensation. -Its heavy enough to not move around on you and feel like something but not so heavy you can't pick it up and move it (someone thats a little weaker might have some problems moving the large 37" version around if you had to move your office or something) Things I don't like: -There really is no elegant cable management. There is a slot in the phone tray for a charger. There is a little metal bracket to keep your keyboard on the keyboard tray that also has some cut outs for cables. And they give you a couple zip ties and sticky cable manager things. That's about it. Just get some 1/2" velcro if you buy this and cable manage yourself. -Its a bit wobbly, although that might just be mine. We have others of this brand in the office and they don't seem as wobbly as this one. I thought maybe it was because this one is larger (which could still be part of it) but I noticed there is a ton of slop in the tracks attached to the top, I plan to take it apart to try and make some adjustments when I have the chance. Possibly just a quality control issue. -I wish there was a way to set a stop on the maximum height so I can easily go to my certain height easily. My Issues: I have had to order two of these. The first one arrived and the entire top was cracked in half. This was strange because the exterior box was undamaged. I noticed that the packaging does not protect the top very well anyways so I assume that one of two things happened: either the product was damaged in shipment but due to the poor packaging design it didn't really damage the box OR a bad top got through quality control. First one was returned for refund only for some reason, although I decided to give it another shot and ordered it again. The second one arrived complete, in working order but has a pretty bad minor defect that got through quality control. Little background on how the top appears to be made, it just looks like MDF with a textured hard plastic wrap molded over it where there is one flat peice on the bottom of the top and one piece over the top of it that wraps down over the sides. There is anywhere from a 1/16" to 1/8" gap all the way around where the two pieces are supposed to meet. You can clearly see the MDF underneath. It is also peeling away in the little oval holes where you grab it to lift up/push down. The peeling was already there when I pulled it out of the box. TL:DR / In summary: It seems to be a pretty good product for the money if it lasts but unless you get lucky with the quality control right off the bat, you may have to return a few to get a good one so if you are in a hurry do not buy this.

I was going to wait to make a review so I could notate the durability of the item. However, I feel like that would be a disservice. Like others, I can echo that my package did arrive damaged. However, my item was not damaged at all. The setup was so simple, just a few screws and a few wrist snaps of the included tool. Took less than 15 minute in total. I have been able to put 2 monitors plus my laptop on the desk. I have more than enough room for my keyboard, my mouse and my mouse pad. The keyboard tray does not push in. So even when sitting it still sticks out. I think this is the only con for me because the keyboard still sits in the same position even when in a sitting position. Doesn’t really make or break this being a 5 star product for me though. I appreciate how easy it is to lift up and go down. Really great item to refresh my desk instead of having to buy a new more expensive desk.

I recently got a new remote job and quickly learned I’m not able to sit all day at a desk. I searched many standing desk shelves and finally settled on this one and I’m so glad I did. It’s a bit bulky, but ultimately that works for me due to the amount of stuff I have in my desk, and it’s strong enough to hold it all. The shelf is easy to lift and slowly lowers, which is nice. I will add the first shelf I received was defective (shelf didn’t stay when raised) but the seller was great. After some troubleshooting, it was determined the original was broken and they immediately shipped out a replacement. Second one worked great and is used daily.

This is the 37" option. Very pleased with it. I did put a mouse pad down but it seems to work without it (did not test that long). The laptop may look like its going to fall but it's not. It's less than a finger length off at the corner even when i dont lay it on the base of the monitor. Easy to assemble (just the keyboard shelf needs to be screwed on). Be sure to remove the zip tie before engaging the rising handle mechanism. It did not affect functionality once removed but you may be wondering why it isnt rising if you dont remove it (like I did lol). It has a nice heavy plastic feel to the surface. Seems like it will be long lasting. I chose to put my router and docking station in the center so my cat doesn't lay on them but i could have spaced them apart and put the laptop in the center (probably would have had to rest on the monitor bases).

This was really easy to put together, but be sure you put the foam stickers under the keyboard part. Without them, my monitor was wobbling when I typed with the desk down. I had to completely rearrange my workspace, but now this works well for me. Also, you have to be sure you manage your cables- at first I almost pulled my monitor off my desk twice when raising it because it was snagged. I don't find it too heavy to raise, but it does take a little effort. I set a timer and sit for 45 minutes and stand for 15, but I love standing and working so I tend to go over. I am only using this for a single widescreen monitor, so I can't speak to it holding lots of weight, etc. Also, when I'm sitting the keyboard is a little higher than before, but I adjusted my chair higher and it seems fine. Happy with this purchase, especially for the price. Much less slouching than when I was sitting all the time!

I would guess that this unit was designed and built by people who would us it themselves ! It is really well made and easy to assemble. I am a 5ft 8in (173cm) male and it would still be fine for someone much taller to use - such is its range of adjustability. I am an IT homeworker and I have 2 laptops plus 2 screens on this and it works fine. You can raise and lower it in seconds to suit when you feel like standing or sitting - I adjust mine several times a day.

TL:DR, I love this riser. I bought the 37" one by mistake (meant to get the 32" one), but I have no regrets at all. The stand functions well, feels well build, looks great, and took minutes to assemble. Using the product requires little to no effort, and I'm using it with two computer monitors and some extra's on the stand itself. Can't complain about a single thing, and I have 0 regrets. Absolutely love this. The longer (more thorough) review: I was actually meaning to get the 32" Lite version, but made the mistake of getting this one (for only $10 mind you). However, even though this one is bigger than the 32" one, it functions and looks extremely well. The material does not feel or look cheap at all. The setup took literally 2 minutes (you cut the one strap, add the cushions to the keyboard bit, then put 4 screws in for the keyboard bit to connect it to the stand) and I had absolutely no issues at all with it. Actually using the product? No complaints here either. The single handle on the right side allows for easy raising and lowering of the stand, with little effort needed. More effort is needed at the maximum ranged height of the stand, but still nothing that requires much effort. The tablet/phone holder on the stand itself works great too, but keep in mind that unless you have a thin case, it won't work. I'm using an iPhone 6S with a smaller battery case (3,000mAh) and it won't hold it as it's too thick. However, as most don't use battery cases, a single case would likely fit. Something like an Otterbox or LifeProof case will very likely NOT fit into the holes, and like with my current phone, the case will just have to be taken off if you really want to use it. Otherwise, you still have lots of space to just set your phone on the stand itself as the dimensions are fairly big to hold a lot (mine has two 22" computer monitors, 1 baby camera, my phone, and then a calculator. The keyboard easily holds my older style wired keyboard and wireless mouse.). All in all, I don't regret making the mistake of getting this one instead of the lite one, and if you have the space to do so, I'd recommend just getting this one. It's $10 more, but you get a lot more space (although both would likely work perfectly fine, this is just a personal preference I guess).

The desk width need to be increased as the screen to eye distance is not sufficient once the LCDs are placed on the desk. Or the eye to screen distance can be improved by making the keyboard plate movable. The typing on keyboard induces significant stress on the wrists making it difficult to use the desk in standing position for more than 30 minutes at a time. If the keyboard plate could move up and down as well, the problem can be solved. Hopefully the manufacturer would consider these points in mind in the next version of the desk.

Wow. I was born skeptical and really wondered how this would help me out. I spend far too many hours married to a desk and my mid-back has been grieving me for... years, I guess. I had an ergonomic assessment done at work and asked for a sit-stand desk. The evaluator said she would recomment it. I ended up with a new chair and a foot stool. While I appreciate that something was done, all I accomplished was a new uncomfortable position to replace the old one. So I took the initiative and picked this up after reading up a bit. Zero regrets. Installation was very easy (a whopping 4 screws) and the stand is as sturdy as you would expect anything to be that wasn't solid metal... it has a little bit of movement but nothing significant. I have a laptop with separate monitor, mouse and keyboard and it all fits nicely (laptop down below, but would fit on stand easily). I also have my phone riding along up top. I have only been using it for 5 working days now and last night had the best sleep I've had in months. The pain between my shoulder blades is finally beginning to resolve and I don't feel old anymore... despite what my kids tell me. :-) My productivity has increased and I'm just nicer to be around... in my humble opinion. Money very well spent... or better yet, invested. UPDATE: I'm coming up on 7 months now, and brought the unit home with me when my office moved due to COVID. It's been a lifesaver, given my new space constraints... small basement office. My back pain has completely resolved and my sleep is better than it has been in years. Very happy.

These are used by my teams at work and they all think they're great. Easy to assemble and easy to raise and collapse back down again. Great!
