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 needed2. 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 shelf4. 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 :)

This is a solid built Powered Desktop Riser! I bought this to replace a desktop riser that had a manual mechanism which was way to heavy to lift day in and day out. If you have a back back, a petite woman or person with very little arm strength then this is the best solution! The 36" riser fits 2 32" monitors with zero issues. I bought it in white. It is a really beautiful, clean and sleek looking. So solid and not junky materials. Fits perfect with my office's decor. The riser goes up and down with zero issues. This is an absolute God's sent. Another plus the company is here in Los Angeles, California! Love supporting solid companies that make amazing products!!!! Just note that the keyboard does not retract so when you sit you may need to use a traditional keyboard tray. Just a note that if you are petite woman you will need a strong person to help you place it on your desktop. The keyboard tray does have to be assembled to the riser but that took my male co-worker 15 minutes. Super simple and not confusing. The product is just aces and spades!

This review is more about Amazon and the Versa Desk Support Team than it is about the product. But first the product. I actually like it. Very much actually. Came on time. Easy to put together. Functionally it works. True to size. And i love using it. Would have given it four+ stars if not for the cosmetic damage -It shipped with broken particle board under the upper level desk area of course in the front of the desk for all the world (me) to see. Looked awful. Being one to HATE re-boxing and returning stuff esp a 50lb package i made the game day decision to install it and put it to use and call the MFR looking for a credit that i could use toward the purchase of some desired accessories. Of course after taking pictures and documenting the damage.The unit shipped with a cute little card about turning my frown into a smile with a phone number and an extension. I called Sat afternoon. Silly me. No one home. And the extension was for government sales. So much for that smile.I waited patiently (Not one of my strong suits) and called Versa Desk again on Monday - and to my surprise - no one there again. After about 10 attempts of calling Customer Care and Sales FINALLY someone answered. When i explained that i purchased the unit through Amazon, she could not get me off the phone fast enough and directed me to my friends at you know were. Frankly, by then i couldn't get off the phone fast enough either.It took Lexann at Amazon to finally turn my frown into a smile. Within 10 minutes she issued a credit in the form of an Amazon gift card that far exceeded my expectations. Lexann, THANK YOU! You Rock! Amazon Rocks!Final ratings: Versa Desk Customer Care 0 The product A solid 4+ if you're lucky to get one w/o cosmetic damage Amazon 10

Arrived MUCH sooner than stated when I purchased the product. Easy to set up. Literally took it out of the box and attached the keyboard tray. Plug it in and it’s ready to go.As opposed to the other model I tried and returned from another brand - this one feels steady and stable. The white is nice and clean looking. The motor is relatively quiet.Knowing this is made in the US, I’m surprised at how much less expensive it was than some other electric models.

My new job is 100% remote and I need the ability easily stand up each day without having to deal with my monitors. This thing can lift 80lbs and is made of white board. Best standing desk adapter I have used or personally handled.
