VERSADESK Versa Tables Electric Standing Desk Converter Adjustable Desk Riser with Keyboard Tray, 36", White

I bough several of the VIVO desk riser, and while OK, I wasn't thrilled with it. For my personal use, I wanted to see if the $200 extra is worth it for me to buy this Versadesk....luckily I bought a good as new used desk for $150. I hope to make a fair comparison since not many reviewers here have owned the cheaper risers and the versa desk. What I like: 1. Very good packaging. Very easy assembly. Just 4 thumb screws. No tools needed 2. Thick material...about 50% thicker than the VIVO. 3. Better material...surface is glossy and high quality. Switches are high quality. With the VIVO you get basic MDF surface that has the finish of a cheap closet shelf 4. Much sturdier. Perhaps unfair b/c this is a motorized unit. But it feels and looks much sturdier. What I don't like: though the keyboard tray is sturdier than the VIVO...there's still some flex. The weakness here is that the brackets holding the keyboard is just bent steel. For the price, please reinforce it. I hate bouncy keyboard trays. Summary: when deciding between a $100 and $350 riser, the more expensive Versadesk is obviously much better built, much sturdier. It's also much heavier. Get the VIVO if you are on a budget. It's not as good but works fine. Get the VIVO if you want to save 20lbs of weight. Some of our counters have a hard time handling the versa desk with 2 monitors, etc. Get the VIVO if you don't want another power plug. Get the VIVO if you want rapid up/down adjustment. The motor on the Versadesk is smooth and quiet...but not as fast as manual risers. But for me and for most, you'll the quality of the Versadesk much more reasuring, especially when you have it right next to the VIVO. It's much better, much sturdier. And it's American designed and made :)

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set this up with 3 monitors! It works great and the quality is very good. I’m almost 6 feet tall and the height it reaches with just the touch of a button is more than enough for me to be comfortable while working.

My son loves his Christmas gift, he is using it at work. It was easy to assemble and sturdy. He uses 3 monitors and they fit nicely.

This is my first time doing a review in a loooong time but I feel like I need to. I need to tell the world how amazing this electronic desk riser is! First. It is so easy to assemble, I literally took it out of the box, put it on my table, plugged it in to rise up, screwed the keyboard part and it’s done!!!!!! 4 steps?! Insane! I am so impressed! Second. It looks so neat and it is very sturdy! Enough space for 2 monitors! (Only comment is not enough space for mouse and keyboard I think, but still works great!) Third. It is electronic, need I say more? You just press it and it goes up or down! (Another side note, it takes longer to go down than up but heh patience is a virtue!) Now my back will love me again!

I did a lot of research and comparing this desk to others before settling on this one. It was very easy to assemble (just two pieces). It moves up and down with a button on the front of the desk and glides very easily. Overall it seems very sturdy. Note that the Keyboard/Mouse tray is permanently fixed to the desk and it is not very deep, so my natural/ergonomic split keyboard hangs over the edge just a bit. It easily fits two monitors on it on the 40" desk. When it is at its lowest height, it's about 4" tall which is close to the monitor riser of my third monitor when used sitting. I docked one star because of the condition when it arrived. The box was perfectly fine, but we noted that there was some paint transfer or scratches on the top of the desk, and one of the screws holding the movement assembly underneath the desk had partially ripped out. We fixed it with wood glue and put everything back together. Outside of that, it looks great and is a good value for the money. Other units were a lot more expensive.
