The included keyboard relaxation is optionally available to put in, although the entire thing is designed to work collectively. It is a bit annoying. I want you might roll the tray into the riser to cover it, which might go a good distance in making the FlexFit look a bit 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 a bit when utilizing my Apple Magic Trackpad as a result of it was a bit too low. This may occasionally or is probably not a problem 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 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 at all times hit the highest of the display screen—that could be one thing to contemplate.
The gas-lift peak adjustment lever is on the proper, and it strikes the desk easily up and down. Even if you happen to pull it, the entire riser will not crash down—you could put a bit 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 steel base, all of which is ok, however a bit boring, particularly when you have a nice-looking desk. There is a groove on the desktop to route a number of cables via 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 deliver 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 brief walks if you happen to can.
There’s not a lot in the best way of different options—it might be good if Staples had a monitor arm mount to pair with this riser to avoid wasting area. You’ll find cheaper converters from the likes of Flexispot, although I feel the FlexFit seems to be higher. Nonetheless, Department’s Desk Riser is not too far in value 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.
