The included keyboard relaxation is non-compulsory to put in, although the entire thing is designed to work collectively. It is slightly annoying. I want you can roll the tray into the riser to cover it, which might go a good distance in making the FlexFit look slightly extra elegant, and will additionally assist with storage. You can also’t alter the peak of the tray, so whereas I did not have points typing on a keyboard, I discovered my wrist cramping up slightly when utilizing my Apple Magic Trackpad as a result of it was slightly too low. This will likely or is probably not a difficulty for you—I am 6’4″ and my limbs are weirdly proportioned.
The FlexFit desk converter ranges in top from 5.9 to 19.6 inches. That is a strong vary general (13 inches whole), and I did not have any bother utilizing the riser in a sitting place both. Crucially, my monitor has a height-adjustable stand, which helped me place it in order that my eyes all the time hit the highest of the display—that could be one thing to contemplate.
The gas-lift top adjustment lever is on the fitting, and it strikes the desk easily up and down. Even for those who pull it, the entire riser will not crash down—it’s essential to put slightly stress on the desk to have it slide. The entire thing feels sturdy with out a lot wobble.

It is a black laminate desktop and a black metallic base, all of which is ok, however slightly boring, particularly when you’ve got a nice-looking desk. There is a groove on the desktop to route just a few cables by to cost gadgets. Staples features a few cable organizers within the field so you possibly can route issues neatly.
The FlexFit does the job—plop it on a floor, and you’ll carry your workstation up to make use of whereas standing, or down to make use of whereas sitting. Simply keep in mind that you should not be sitting all day, however you should not be standing the entire time both. Combine it up, and take frequent breaks with quick walks for those who can.
There’s not a lot in the best way of different options—it would be good if Staples had a monitor arm mount to pair with this riser to avoid wasting house. You could find cheaper converters from the likes of Flexispot, although I believe the FlexFit appears to be like higher. Nonetheless, Department’s Desk Riser is not too far in worth and kills it on aesthetics. Staples has a greater 5-year guarantee, although. If you wish to strive it earlier than committing, the return window is 14 days after receipt.
