- Vari Varidesk Pro Plus 36 Standing Desk Converter – 11 Height Settings + Spring Lift, 2 Tier Design, Keyboard Tray, Fits Desktops 36” Wide x 26.5" Deep – Delivers Fully Assembled (White)

I don't always buy desks on Amazon, but when I do, I ball out. I purchased the VARIDESK Pro Plus 36 - Black and this thing is a BEAST! I have a 24 in monitor on it, a 5lb laptop, a 3 lb speaker, Corsair K70 gamer keyboard (about 3 lbs?) and some other office things on it an it lifts effortlessly. My pic only has one monitor active - I chose to do this in that I can also use my laptop as another screen and fit both facing me no problems (there is lots of space), I just rather have one monitor active. Pros: 1) it has many adjustable levels so someone like me at a height of 5'9 in is very comfortable with the assortment of settings depending on what I want to do. I think you should test one out first if you are taller than 6'1 or so as it might not be as tall as you would ideally like it to be unless your monitor(s) can increase height as well. 2) effortless elevation and de-elevation, you just hold in the two foldable bars inside and lift up or down, and even with 20 lbs of things on the desk it is nearly effortless. 3) it is perfect for people who have coma's after eating or just want to stretch a bit because it takes 1 second to adjust. 4) the extending keyboard area is perfect, lots of room, and there is enough room for a mousepad and mouse as well 5) okay at 400$, this thing is CHEAP. I have a convertible desk at work (albiet it is electronic, you hold a button and it rises), and it is like $1500. even the ones that are manual lift, anything the size of this one would cost almost $1000. Yet this doesnt compromise on stability. You can tell the build is heavy duty and will last many years. Its also very easy to clean because of the material. I've spilled stuff on it and literally wipe it away immediately with a wet paper towel. 6) NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED! It is good to go out of the box (a huge box). Cons: 1) obviously it’s not electronic as I previously mentioned, just wanted to clarify that in case you were looking for an electric one (but it will cost you about $1500 for a good desk) 2) the desk is large! It takes up a ton of room on a regular table, I have a 5 ft x 3 ft table it will take up the entire space, you can't put anything around it, but bear in mind lots of real estate on the desk itself. 3) the desk is pretty heavy as well, I think the description says this thing is 50 pounds or so, you can lift this at the gym as a dumbell but given the surface area looks like this, i highly advice you to have two people set this thing up, you do not want to drop this on you toes. I really don’t have many bad things to say about this because I am such a fan of this desk, I mean those cons are minimal in my view, for $400 or so this thing is seriously the best convertible desk on the market, build quality, durability, and ease of use. PERIOD.

In short, I love this desk. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer for work. I decided recently that sitting in front of the computer for 8-12 hours was not good for my health and my butt was getting sore. I looked at stand-up desk options. There are desks available that look like a normal square desk and has a motor for lifting the high of the desk platform. However, they're usually pretty expensive and would replace your existing desk. Then I ran across this Varidesk option. I was a little skeptical if this would work and be stable enough. After reading other reviews of people loving it, I bit the bullet and spent the $400. A bit expensive I thought but hey, for your health, that's cheap overall and cheaper than the full desk option. I received the Varidesk about 4 days after ordering. I thought the UPS guy was going to break his back carrying it to the front door. The package weights about 70 lbs. As noted, the installation is pretty straightforward. Getting it out of the box is the most difficult task. It comes packaged in a very sturdy cardboard package. Once you pull out of the box, remove the plastic wrap, you literarily sit on top of your desk. Put your stuff back on the desk. Done!! Ok, you do need to route your keyboard and mouse wires through the back of desk so it doesn't pinch the wires when lowing the desk. It's easy to route them this way (tip: route them straight back in the middle and over the top horizontal metal support under the monitors platform, use some plastic wire hangers that can stick to a surface, stick to under side of monitor platform ). I found putting the cables in the down the middle of the desk, rather than on the sides where the hinges are located, eliminated the possibility of pinching the wires when lowing the desk all the way down. This desk is very sturdy and has no problem with twin 23" monitors. When raised/extend the Varidesk all the way to the top, it's still sturdy. Now if you happen to hit or knock into it when raised, the monitors will shake but no enough to worry about them falling off or Varidesk falling over. NOTE: If you have a 15+ lb cat, you might want to lower the desk at night. They haven't jumped on it yet but I'm thinking if they do when the desk is fully extended, it could knock something off. However, I think its sturdy enough that I don't think the Varidesk would fall off the desk. I've had this desk for about 2 weeks. I love standing up now when I work now. I find my self moving around a lot with my feet, while stretching, bending, squatting, and even breaking out in dance when a good song comes on. One other thing I really like about standing is you can easily position yourself in front of the monitor you're viewing. Instead of just turning your head side to side, you move your entire body in front of the monitor you're looking. The ergonomics of this desk at great also, The curved cutout in front of the keyboard along with the mouse platforms next to it make it comfortable to lean and support yourself as you're moving your body back and forth between monitors. The monitor platforms for the monitor are the perfect height for me. HOWEVER, I will note, as other reviews have, the desk would not be ideal for taller people without having your entire desk elevated. The Varidesk needs a stable platform to sit so I would caution setting it on something that's not rock solid to prop it up. I'm 5' 9" and it's the perfect height for me for both standing and sitting. My desk is 28" tall. The Varidesk is very easy to raise and lower (see video on Varidesk website). The spring loading is enough that a smaller, weaker person could still raise/lower the platform. My only complaint (just so I have at least one) is you might feel you lose some flat surface real estate on your current desk. However, I quickly figured out how to rearrange my desk items to fit the new setup. I actually like it better than my previous setup now. The new setup is much more ergonomic and comfortable than my previous setup. I can standup working an entire 8 hour day and still feel great. NOTE: An anti-fatique mat is essential to stand on so make sure you order one along with the Varidesk. You'll want it the very first day you use it. I bought the Genuine Joe mat. It has worked OK but I just ordered the CumulusPro because I want more cushion on my feet. I'll review when I receive it. I highly recommend this desk to anyone that keeps their butt in their chairs too long and doesn't want to spend the money or have the room for a full sized motorized lifting desk.

Review for Varidesk Pro Plus 36. I have now owned and used this desk for 21 months, and I still have the same impression as when I first used it - it is even better to use than I expected. When down, it looks smart and use it just like a desk, you can raise & lower it silently in 2-3 seconds - the rising bit moves forwards towards you as it extends, keeping your body away from the desk that it is sitting on. You can stop it at any height (just wiggle it slightly to make sure both sides are locked with a 'click'), but if you extend it fully it doesn't need a 'click' and is fully silent. When extended, you can lean gently against it, but I wouldn't put full weight on it like you might your normal desk. The monitor platform is raised a fixed amount relative to the keyboard/mouse lower platform, a height difference I personally find perfectly comfortable. It forms a very stable platform and is well designed and made. I have used it in 2 locations - so had to set it up twice, and the wires are no issue. You obviously have to have wires long enough to cope with it extending upwords, but with a bit of care and some cable-ties, you can be set up in 10 minutes. It has transformed my days at work - if you can cope with the price, you should find it an excellent product.

Der Aufsatz ist stabil,praktisch und erfüllt seinen Zweck in jeder Weise. Mit einem Handgrif ist der Wechsel von der Steh- zur Sitzposition möglich. Ich bin mit dem Kauf sehr zufrieden.

I was looking for an affordable stand-up desk when someone recommended Varidesk. After comparing it to other complex-looking stand-up gizmos that clamped to your desk, I decided to give Varidesk a try. The design of the Varidesk Pro Plus seemed to make the most sense and was ideal for my notebook + external monitor setup. The desk shipped quickly and was a breeze to set up: no assembly, no clamping. Just clear your desk, unpack the Varidesk, then put all your stuff back on! The spring-loaded release works smoothly and it raises and lowers silently, with little effort. The construction is very solid and sturdy and the unit appears to be very high quality. There is a generous amount of space on both shelves to put your stuff. Just a couple of nits though: - I am 5' 10" and the raised height is just perfect for me in the standing position. Taller coworkers came by and tried it out and found the raised height still too low. If you're tall, you'll need to place some wood blocks beneath the feet. - The keyboard try area is very spacious and deep, but the "mouse pad" wings on either side are not very large and are unnecessarily close to your body. I like to push my keyboard further in and have my mouse arm extended a bit, but that's impossible given the design of the unit. My my mouse arm feels a bit cramped. - The unit is about $100 cheaper on Amazon.com, but they won't ship to Canada. :-( I docked one star for the mouse issue, because it's a recurring one that kind of annoys me. But otherwise the desk is very good. EDITED MAR 13: After using this for a few days, I've managed to reposition it a bit to minimize my "mouse" grievances. Therefore I am elevating it to 5 stars.

Die Lieferung war innerhalb von zwei Werktagen da. Habe ich nicht mit gerechnet und war auch schneller als die Amazon-Anzeige. Top und Danke für diesen schnellen Versand! Die Verarbeitung ist super. Für den Preis gibt es nichts zu maulen. Man bekommt ein super Qualitätsprodukt. Der Aufbau ist in 4 Minuten erledigt. Auspacken, aufstellen, loslegen. Mit einer weiteren Person kann man den Aufsatz super auf dem Tisch platzieren. Hinterher alleine verschieben wird schwer, da er sehr fest auf dem Tisch steht, also kein verschieben oder rutschen während des Arbeitens. Die höhenverstellung funktioniert reibungslos und leise. Super fürs Büro. Ich freue mich sehr und bin gespannt was mein Rücken sagen wird.

Truly a fantastic product. You will see lots of others on the market but don't underestimate this units design and manufacturing quality. The smooth operation and height adjustments are awesome. I'm 6'1" with long arms so this unit was perfect for me. Everyone in my office have stopped by and are impressed with the construction and visual appeal. For the record I don't have anything to do with this company, so remember that when you read this review. When you buy something this good, I just had to tell people.
