It’s worth noting that Vari’s Standing Desk is a bit different from the company’s Electric Standing Desk in the way that it raises and lowers. While the Electric Standing Desk goes straight up and down, the manual Standing Desk comes out a bit when raised. By no means is this a deal breaker but you will need to leave extra space in front of the desk to accommodate for this. The competition From there, simply flip over the desk and you’re ready to go. If you notice that the desk isn’t level after doing so, the base of each leg can be adjusted to accommodate for uneven floors. After setting up Vari’s Standing Desk, we first tried it out using a Chromebook and were pleasantly surprised by all of the extra room available. The two handles to raise and lower the desk didn’t get in our way during use either. We've spent years designing the perfect products for your office, and we don't want you to wait any longer than necessary.

Set up couldn’t be any easier as it comes pre-assembled straight out of the box. All you’ll need to do is clear enough space on your desk to accommodate its sizeable footprint, which measures 914x990mm when flat. You might need a second helping hand getting the Pro Plus 36 out of its box, however, as it weighs a considerable 23kg. VariDesk create affordable sit-stand solutions that are an alternative to regular sit-stand desks. VariDesk can be retrofitted to your existing desk within minutes as it can be raised or lowered when you like. We tested with two 27in monitors side-by-side without any problems. You might struggle to go with larger monitors dependent on the size of the stands, as one of our monitor’s stands already extended slightly over the edge. The new lifting keyboard tray on the VariDesk® Pro Plus™ 30 Single Monitor ensures ergonomic comfort for your arms and shoulders whether sitting or standing. Based in Coppell, Texas, Vari has been making both standing desk converters and standalone standing desks since 2013. We recently reviewed the Vari Standing Desk and today we’ll be looking at the company’s Electric Standing Desk. Unlike its Standing Desk which is only available in one configuration, the company’s Electric Standing Desk is available in three different sizes, five different finishes and the desk features an electric straight up lift system.If Vari decides to make a second edition of its manual Standing Desk, we would like to see more color options for the desktop and perhaps even additional height settings to better cater to a wider variety of users. Varidesk has different models that can accommodate different setups, including single monitor options and with and without dedicated keyboard trays. The Pro Plus 36 model we reviewed can support up to two displays, and includes a dedicated tray for your keyboard and mouse. This raises your peripherals to a comfortable level when you extend the station vertically. The Pro Plus 36 can take a load up to 15kg, so you shouldn’t have any problems with most monitors. While a wireless keyboard and mouse will be the most elegant, wehad no problems with using a wired set as the wires don’t get caught or cause an obstruction – either when using the desk flat or height extended. If you’re connecting to a desktop PC, however, you’ll need to make sure the wires are long enough.

Still though, with cable management built in from the get-go and solid build quality all around, Vari’s Standing Desk will likely be a good fit for users not interested in an electric standing desk that don’t want to be bothered turning a crank each time they want to lift or lower their manual standing desk. During our time using Vari’s Electric Standing Desk, we were impressed with the desk’s build quality as well as by the fact that the desk can be raised or lowered with a full cup of coffee placed on it without spilling a single drop. The competitionDespite all these wires, cable management is a cinch with Vari’s Electric Standing Desk as the company provides plenty of cable ties and the frame itself features a horizontal bar to hold wires plugged into the control box in place.
