FlexiSpot ClassicRiser M2B

Brand: FlexiSpot ClassicRiser M2

The M2B is the middle size in the FlexiSpot ClassicRiser line. Top width 35 inches, plus a removable keyboard tray under it. The X shaped frame with a gas spring holds any height inside the range, so the user is not stuck with fixed steps. Squeeze the two handles, lift or press down, release. Rated load is about 33 pounds, enough for one large monitor or two small ones. It comes assembled apart from the tray, which screws on in a few minutes.

Fits people who want a solid riser without the price of Vari or Ergotron. The tray can be taken off if the desk already has a keyboard shelf. Weak point: the gas spring needs a certain load to move smoothly, so a bare laptop alone feels springy. The platform also rises straight up with no tilt, so tall users may still need a monitor stand on top.
