The included keyboard relaxation is non-obligatory to put in, although the entire thing is designed to work collectively. It is slightly annoying. I want you possibly can roll the tray into the riser to cover it, which might go a great distance in making the FlexFit look slightly extra elegant, and will additionally assist with storage. You can also’t modify 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 may increasingly or is probably not a difficulty for you—I am 6’4″ and my limbs are weirdly proportioned.
The FlexFit desk converter ranges in peak from 5.9 to 19.6 inches. That is a stable vary total (13 inches whole), and I did not have any hassle 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 at all times hit the highest of the display screen—which may be one thing to think about.
The gas-lift peak adjustment lever is on the precise, and it strikes the desk easily up and down. Even if you happen to pull it, the entire riser will not crash down—you should put slightly strain 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 steel base, all of which is ok, however slightly boring, particularly if in case you have a nice-looking desk. There is a groove on the desktop to route a number of cables by means of to cost units. Staples features a few cable organizers within the field so you may route issues neatly.
The FlexFit does the job—plop it on a floor, and you’ll convey your workstation up to make use of whereas standing, or down to make use of whereas sitting. Simply do not forget 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 if you happen to can.
There’s not a lot in the way in which of different options—it would be good if Staples had a monitor arm mount to pair with this riser to avoid wasting house. You’ll find cheaper converters from the likes of Flexispot, although I believe the FlexFit seems to be higher. Nonetheless, Department’s Desk Riser isn’t too far in price and kills it on aesthetics. Staples has a greater 5-year guarantee, although. If you wish to attempt it earlier than committing, the return window is 14 days after receipt.
