The Vivo standing desk converter caught our attention with its exceptionally low price point of $180 (for the manual version). As always with popular, low-costed products, we approach with a healthy mix of skepticism and hope. What costs were cut in order to arrive at such a price, and were those cuts reasonable? Sure, the keyboard tray does not feature ergonomic tilt, and its max height of 16” will not be suitable for taller users, but these are concessions that many are willing to make to save a couple hundred dollars. While we stress the importance of ergonomics for better long term health, increased affordability means an [...]

An early innovator in this category, VariDesk has since fallen behind other newer and more exciting product offerings from faster competitors, and so we have re-scored our review with deference to new competitors such as Ergotron, iMovR, Flexispot and a few dozen more that have since jumped into the field.

There are plenty of cheap sit-stand products on the market, and there are plenty of ergonomically solid ones out there as well.

Some manufacturers, perhaps in the efforts to cut costs, stubbornly continue to ignore ergonomics, and very often end up producing products that may cause as many ergonomic problems as they purportedly solve. The effort it takes to find a device that suits your individual anthropometry (the unique dimensions of your body) will help keep your body healthy in the long term while you stand and work. Here’s a short list of features to look for in a standing desk converter, so you can be sure to catch the ergonomic wave.
