VariDesk Pro Plus 30

I had been wanting to try a standing desk for a while now, but the thought of replacing my entire desk setup at my work office was daunting. Enter the VariDesk Pro Plus 30, a fantastic solution that converts my existing desk into a standing desk in seconds. It's sturdy, easy to use, and has made a noticeable difference in my workday comfort. Here's what I love about it: Effortless Transition: Going from sitting to standing is a breeze. The spring-assisted lift mechanism is smooth and requires minimal effort. I can adjust the height in seconds, finding the perfect position for both sitting and standing. Sturdy and Stable: Even at its highest setting, the VariDesk feels incredibly stable. There's no wobbling or shaking, even when I'm typing vigorously. This is crucial for someone like me who values a solid, distraction-free workspace. Spacious Work Surface: The two-tier design provides ample space for my laptop, mouse, and even a notebook. I appreciate having a dedicated space for my keyboard and mouse, which helps maintain good ergonomics. Improved Posture and Focus: Since using the VariDesk, I've noticed a significant improvement in my posture and focus. Being able to switch between sitting and standing throughout the day keeps me energized and helps prevent that afternoon slump. Easy Assembly (or Lack Thereof!): It arrived fully assembled and ready to go. I simply took it out of the box, placed it on my desk, and started using it. No complicated instructions or tools required. A Minor Quibble: While I'm delighted with the VariDesk overall, I echo a common critique I've seen in other reviews: the keyboard tray can feel cramped, especially if you have a larger keyboard or prefer more mouse space. This hasn't been a dealbreaker for me, but it's something to consider if you prioritize a lot of keyboard and mouse real estate. Overall: If you're looking for an easy and effective way to incorporate standing into your workday, the VariDesk Pro Plus 30 is an excellent choice. It's a well-made, user-friendly solution that has transformed my workspace and improved my overall well-being. Just be mindful of the keyboard tray size if you need a lot of space for your keyboard and mouse.

Before the review, here's some context. I am a software engineer and sit at a computer 9-10 hours a day and it takes a toll on my back by the end of the day. As work gets busier, I sit for longer periods without realizing it. I was in the market for a standing desk and there are a lot of options out there. I have a 23" monitor and a 19" monitor + docking station/keyboard/mouse. I ultimately decided to go with the Varidesk line because I have a desk which I really like and didn't want to get rid of it. It's nothing special, but it has drawers, a file cabinet and some shelving for my printer/desktop. The other standing desks on the market are just essentially tabletops with hydraulics that move up and down - so I'd have to then get a separate file cabinet or build a cabinet system. I also just wanted to plop my monitors on something that could easily alternate between standing and sitting - wasn't enthralled with buying monitor arms or extra accessories. Now onto the actual review...I really love this thing and it absolutely solves my desire to stand more. I find myself standing whenever I am on a call, getting antsy or sick of sitting. When I get tired, I sit. A high-quality anti-fatique mat is key. I'm able to fit my large docking station platform, router, speakers, 2 monitors mentioned up above and there's still some room in between them. Moving it up and down is extremely easy - it sometimes requires a bit of a push to make sure it locks into position. But they did a really good job of making this thing lift with ease - it really does work like the videos you see. You will read some reviews that talk about it being wobbly - it's not untrue and there is some wobble. The base itself is not wobbly, but as you extend it up it tends to be more susceptible to movement. It doesn't feel unstable in the least, but it does exist. It's probably no different than a crane/cherry picker going in the air and shaking a bit as it extends. As others mention, this thing is heavy. I actually see this as an advantage - I know that if I lean on it, it's still not going anywhere. Let's face it - you're going to put it on your desk and leave it there. I don't think people are transporting these around, so I don't really get the criticism on that. You'll also see people mention that it takes up the entire desk. This is not untrue - it's a big unit. However before my Varidesk, my equipment took up the majority of my desk anyway, so I didn't see any issue with this. If you just had a laptop which takes up no space and went to the Varidesk, I guess I can understand that argument. The only gripe I have is that I wish the keyboard tray were adjustable. It's probably 2 inches higher than I'm used to/would like. It's probably more ergonomically correct than I used to have, but it will take some time to adjust. It's not a huge deal so I didn't deduct any stars, but it would be pretty handy. Overall if you have a similar use case, I think you will like this. I hemmed and hawed over which one to get, but in the end I'm really glad I went with the Pro Plus 48.

Great product very sturdy combined with the dual monitor arms I can work standing rather than sitting.

Der VariDesk ist wirklich eine Super Lösung, für alle die sich keinen Höhenverstellbaren Schreibtisch kaufen wollen. Man braucht selbst nichts mehr montieren, einfach nur das Packet öffnen und den Desk auf den Schreibtisch Stellen und dann kann es schon losgehen. Ich würde ihn jederzeit wieder bestellen!

Desk is amazing, customer service not so much, atleast not in Australia. Anyhow, will buy the desk again but directly from them don't use Amazon, they apparently have separate customer service departments and direct one seems to be better. Good and sturdy desk.

Lo conocía por haberlo usado anteriormente y me decidí a comprarlo para mi oficina. No necesita montaje, lo único complicado es subirlo a la mesa porque pesa bastante (lo cual le da mucha estabilidad). Por ponerle alguna pega, yo no voy a usarlo plegado pero de usarlo creo que quedaría un escritorio muy alto y haría falta también una silla muy alta para poder usarlo. Por último, en la factura aparece que está hecho en China (como casi todo) y que la empresa importadora es holandesa. Sin embargo, tal como es esperable por el precio, es de buena calidad y no parece hecho en China.

Swift delivery, excellent product.
