Seville Classics AirLift 36 inch Gas-Spring Converter

Brand: Seville Classics

Seville Classics puts a gas spring riser under a 36 inch top and adds a separate keyboard tray. There is a slot for a phone or tablet at the back of the platform and a channel for cables. The handle under the top releases the spring, and the surface stops at any height. Finish choices are wider than usual here: black, white, walnut, plus a version with a body cut out. A motorised model with a 2.1A USB charger exists for people who do not want to lift anything.

Suits a home office that sits in a living room, where looks count. The tray is shallow, so a full keyboard with a large mouse pad will be tight. The spring is tuned for a loaded platform: with only a laptop it jumps up. Screws come pre started, but the tray still needs a screwdriver.
