Vari VariDesk Pro Plus 36

Brand: Vari Pro Plus 36

Vari sells this riser as a ready to use unit. It arrives assembled. Put it on a normal desk, and the desk turns into a sit stand workplace. The top is 36 inches wide, so two monitors and a laptop fit. There are eleven height settings and a spring assisted lift, so the platform rises with two side handles in a couple of seconds. Load limit is 35 pounds. The frame itself is heavy, close to 50 pounds, and that weight keeps the surface still while typing.

Good pick for an office where nobody wants to build furniture and where the desk stays in one place. The keyboard tray is fixed under the top, so shorter users may find the last height settings too tall. It also eats depth, about 26 inches, and a shallow desk will be full. Anyone who moves the workstation often should look at a lighter model.
