Improving workspaces and working conditions is vital to productivity and overall health. That’s why the FLEXISPOT Standing Desk Converter is a great tool for setting up a workstation.

The FLEXISPOT standing desk converter is a 35-inch two-layer adjustable desk. The upper layer frame is a U-shaped desk that can support up to two desktops monitors while the lower layer frame accommodates a laptop or a full-sized keyboard, with enough space for additional office files, tools, and computer accessories up to a total weight capacity of 33 pounds.

The standing desk converter’s height can be adjusted between 5.5 inches to almost 20 inches—easily converting your conventional table to a sit-to-stand desk. It’s equipped with a strong gas spring and X-frame that allows easy adjustment of the height of the desk with just one hand.

Competing as one of the best standing desk converters is a model from American office furniture brand VIVO. The VIVO Standing 32 inch Desk Converter offers a more affordable alternative to the FLEXISPOT Desk Converter with a few different features that proves why VIVO is considered one of the best standing desk converters in the market.

This standing desk converter consists of two layers, one for monitors and the other for the keyboard or laptop. This 31.5 inch surfaced desk can support multiple workstation setups but unlike the FLEXISPOT desk converter, VIVO’s can only accommodate one full-size monitor on the top layer. Fitting two full monitors is possible but it may feel claustrophobic given the tighter desk area. It also lacks the U-shaped silhouette that enables better maneuverability but VIVO makes up for it with their desk’s lighter weight. Overall, the VIVO Standing 32 inch Desk Converter weighs only 28.2 pounds, while the FLEXISPOT model weighs 36.8 pounds.

This difference in weight is especially noteworthy considering the VIVO model can accommodate up to 33 pounds of total weight on the top desk, similar to the FLEXISPOT desk converter. However, the bulky outline of the entire desk may leave some users uncomfortable and struggling to find an ergonomic set up in small spaces like cubicles and home office corners, and small tables.

Despite the limitations of the surface area of the VIVO desk, its detachable keyboard tray offers a quick fix for those in tight work spaces. The keyboard tray slides out if not needed, allowing for a more spacious workflow.
