AirRise Pro Under Review…

The AirRise Pro is one of those rare budget converters that has minimal quality issues. Although it has a lower Amazon rating than some lower quality converters, it has fewer construction issues due to material failure. It’s a good choice for those looking for some variety color-wise.

Its main drawback is that the desk is often hard to lift, despite its pneumatic technology with an air cylinder, which supposedly allows for smooth height adjustments “in a matter of seconds”. Users find themselves asking for help raising their desk when they want to transition into a standing position.

Unlike other budget converters, this one has a choice of color and finish. If you’re tired of
plain black and white units, teak and white oak create a great contrast with the black base.

The AirRise Pro is offered in four colors: black, white, teak, and white oak. Both teak and white oak boast a natural-looking wood grain finish while the white unit (priced $159) features a white base in addition to surfaces.

While the majority of user reviews are absolutely positive, some of the consumer grievances that warrant lower ratings include: wobbling, too high or too low keyboard tray.

A considerable portion of user reviews report that the lifting mechanism for the AirRise Pro does not perform as described, as the desk is too heavy to raise, especially if you’re using more than one monitor.
