Duronic Standing Desk Converter DM05D1 WE Adjustable Sit Stand Desks Workstation Wood Height Adjusting Sitting Riser for Office Table PC Laptops Computer Monitor Screen Keyboard and Mouse

I've had this operational for about a week, so please keep that in mind (things may change).I've read lots about the benefits of sit / stand desks (and not sitting all day) and of late, I've been spending most of the day on my bottom. I reviewed many manufactures and although my selected model is not the cheapest, I believe I made the right choice. The electric operation makes the raising and lowering very easy and if it's 'easy' I'm more likely to do it. It is solid, there is very little lateral movement when fully elevated. The surface isn't completely smooth; it's smooth enough to make cleaning easy, but not so smooth as to have keyboards, etc. slide when being used.Couple of things to note - 1] This should be obvious, but I'll say it anyway; there are various 'pinch points' when lowering the desk (this is the same for all sit/stand desks) and therefore ensure YOU and anything on your desk (i.e. cables) don't get in the way when raising and lowering. 2] Again this shouldn't come as a surprise (as the information is given); this desk is big and heavy and transporting it from my car to my work desk took a little planning (it was easier to move out of the box).

I was a bit sceptical about this purchase but have been pleasantly surprised. It just works. Took about 15 mins to put together (instructions could have been a little clearer) and it is heavy. However. now it sits on top of my old static desk, supports two 24 inch monitors and various other desk bits.It's pretty easy to lift up using the handles at the side and a gentle pull up and towards you. There are two or three catch points in the arc that give you extra confidence if you think you're going to drop it. But just keep hold of the handles and they allow you to control the speed of the descent.One additional I'd recommend is a floor mat to stand on. I got this one - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LYFX3SB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 - and it makes things a bit more comfortable. Also encourages you to move around a bit.All in all, very pleased with this. It allows me to easily alternate between standing and sitting and that's got to be a good thing.

The product was easy to assemble (just 12 screws and two large pieces, relatively simple) and is very sturdy (also quite heavy, as a heads up)The handle on the side raises and lowers between standing/sitting mode well and that part works really well for me. The issue I had is that the space meant for a keyboard and mouse is not big enough to comfortably fit a full sized keyboard and mouse. The picture shows a tiny keyboard taking up almost no space in it, but for a full sized keyboard with num pad it can't easily fit both that and a mouse on the keyboard platform.I've been using the mouse awkwardly on a small portion of the keyboard platform, or when sitting moving it off to the side to use it on a mouse pad. If it had just a little more space (maybe 3-4 inches or so) it would have been perfect!Not a bad product though - with a small keyboard it will probably work very well. Although it is quite an expensive product, so if you plan to use a full sized keyboard with it, maybe think twice or put the measurement down on a table and make sure it'll work for you before buying.

After a little bit of messing about during the set up, I was up and running. Really sturdy, strong and robust piece of equipment. Plenty of space for everything I need and all set up and I can feel the difference on my back and legs already, even when I'm sitting down as the platform for the screens is raised.If I have one tiny criticism it's that I would have liked a little more space on the keyboard shelf as I use a full curve microsoft keyboard and when you add a mouse mat and space to use the mouse, you're a tiny bit low on space.But that's being really picky. Overall a great buy!

I don't normal submit reviews, but I thought this deserved one because it has helped so much with my work life.Lower back pain and general lack of energy has become a problem in recent months. I've always had the ability to work from home with my job as an IT sales engineer, but normally I'm on the road half the time visiting customers. With the pandemic and persistent working from the same four walls every day, the constant sitting down is really affecting my body and overall well-being.I quick glance on Amazon and this product stood out from its reviews. I was a bit sceptical for the price, but I'm so glad I took the plunge as it is very good quality. It is quite heavy may I add, but the movement from sitting to standing is very smooth and not hard to do for me at all.I'm giving this 5 stars, well done the manufacturers. Looks great and works extremely well!

I suffer from L5S1 disc issues and this is perfect for alternating between sitting and standing to provide relief on my back as I use a computer all day for work. Very sturdy, easy to put together. It is quite heavy but this provides the sturdiness required. It comfortably houses a 15" laptop, scanner and desk lamp, which I don't have to remove each time I raise and lower, although you do have to be careful there are no sudden movements. If I started using something like this years ago, I'm sure I wouldn't be suffering the back issues I do now. If I had one negative, it would be good to have a bigger keyboard area to fit a notepad comfortably so you could easily make notes.

The desk works great. It is very heavy (for obvious reasons). I received it with damaged bits, but I will keep it to aavoi the hassle.
