Yo-Yo DESKStanding Desk Converter - Transform Any Desk Into a Sit-Stand Workstation - Height Adjustable Riser for Single or Dual Monitor - Ergonomic Tabletop with Keyboard Tray, 90cm Wide (Black)

For a while I've dreamed of having a desk I could sometimes stand up at, but thought it might mean buying a special (expensive) desk. Last month, I discovered this type of set-up and the Yo Yo Desk Mini seemed to be the best one for my needs.It is easy to set up. The main task is to attach the keyboard shelf. The whole unit slides up and down with minimal effort and clicks into place at about 10 or so levels. Fortunately my speaker leads and monitor cables were just long enough for the tallest position.You do need a sturdy desk with a large enough surface area as the unit is fairly heavy and takes up a fair bit of space.When I first started typing standing up, I noticed that the monitor was wobbling a little bit. It wasn't the Yo Yo Desk but my desk which has a large surface without support in the middle. I quickly got used it and barely notice it now.I like the large surface which has room for speakers (behind the monitor) plus other assorted items (ipad, calculator, phone, and 3 A4 sheets if you want to place documents near the monitor. When on a video conference I can place my webcam on a small tripod on the desk and move it around to find the best position.Three things to be aware of:1. Always check for items underneath the keyboard holder before putting the desk right down again. Even a pen underneath can cause the keyboard shelf to pop off its supports when you push the whole thing down. You can reattach it easily enough, but it takes a minute or two.2. The keyboard shelf doesn't have much extra room for a mouse, especially if your keyboard is large like mine.Luckily, I had a solid mouse mat which sits nicely on the edge of the unit with a bit of blutac to stop it moving about or falling off.3. The desk surface can scratch easily. I've put a soft black cloth underneath the monitor, and some paper underneath the keyboard.Overall, I'm delighted with this unit which has transformed my workspace and helps my back, especially with extra hours at the computer during the 2020 lockdown!

Exactly what is says in description. it is quite and durable. Can take 2 Screen I am using 21'' monitors, docking station and laptop. I have been using it for nearly 2 months now. I bought the floor cushion as well but not using it too much because of chair but again it is your own choice. cushion is very comfortable too honestly you can use it anywhere like even in the kitchen.The only thing I would say desk should have 4 to 5 different levels specially at lowest level. I want to raise it bit higher when I am sitting which is not possible in this model as my office desk is bit low.sticky pads are not very strong under foot which is not effecting the desk but it can be glued well this could be in result of the hot weather. over all I would recomend if anyone want to burn some calories and improve health.

I spend far too much time sitting looking at a computer screen, and my lower back sometime seizes up. This standing desk unit makes it very easy to change position and to work standing up for a while, which definitely helps my back. I find this very easy to use; it is a robust and well made unit. You have to exert a reasonable amount of pressure to push the desk back down from its maximum height back to ‘sitting ‘ height, so perhaps not good for anyone with a problem with arm strength. Other than this, which would be hard to change without losing some of the robustness of the desk, it is an excellent piece of kit and very well designed. Highly recommended.

I decided to invest in a standing desk prior to an operation as I had read it can improve your core strength over sitting.I must say I absolutely love it.The build quality is great, the desk is very sturdy and so easy to use. After only a couple of weeks I was standing more than sitting.I use a laptop docking station with my monitor on top of it. I turned the docking station through 90 degrees to increase the room for the keyboard. There is a shelf for the keyboard which is easy to fit but to lower the desk to sit it means you have to remove the shelf which I felt was unnecessary.I completed a new DSE assessment as part of our standard health and safety process which, apart from the questions about the chair, my new station was compliant with sitting and standing.I now prefer standing over sitting at my desk and am standing for more than 6 hours a day

As a long time advocate of sleeping on the floor instead of mattresses for back pain, I realised I was undoing all of that good work by then sitting all day. Granted I used one of those ergonomic kneeling chairs and tried various alternatives like swiss balls, kneeling on the floor etc. but nothing has come close to actually having a standing desk and the Yo-yo desk works perfectly well. There's definitely a different mood when working standing up.I was a bit worried that assembly might be complicated as the system works on a pneumatic pump but it took about 5 minutes to put it together and have it set up (be warned: It's heavier than it looks, which is why it's so sturdy!)Positives:Superb alternative to replacing your entire deskSolid build; no worries about things falling off the deskLooks quite slick and professionalThings to consider:Check the wire lengths of anything wired that you are keeping on the desk when it is in the standing positionAlso, make sure to clear the back so when moving it up and down the cable don't get caught in the mechanism or desk (I personally have switched to everything being wireless except for my monitor).Note that the area where your keyboard would go does not slide in and out of the way. Personally, it doesn't take anything away, but it surprised me to realise this when I put it together (potentially an upgrade for future models?) although I may not have read the description or questions enough so make sure you do!
