What does the number in the product name mean?

The number in the product name refers to each converter’s width in inches. For example, the VariDesk Pro Plus 36 is 36 inches wide.

How many monitors can my desktop converter fit?

Depending on the size of the model, the maximum number of monitors can vary. The VariDesk Pro Plus 36 and 48 can accommodate up to 2 monitors, but for the VariDesk Pro Plus 30, we suggest a single monitor and laptop.

Can the keyboard tray be adjusted separately from the desktop surface?

To ensure maximum stability, the keyboard tray is affixed to the desktop at an ideal angle for typing.

Do Monitor Arms work with your desks?

Our desktop converters are designed to work seamlessly with Vari Monitor arms. While other brands may work with our converters, we cannot ensure compatibility with them.

Saves me from my daily food coma's
I don't always buy desks on Amazon, but when I do, I ball out. I purchased the VARIDESK Pro Plus 36 - Black and this thing is a BEAST! I have a 24 in monitor on it, a 5lb laptop, a 3 lb speaker, Corsair K70 gamer keyboard (about 3 lbs?) and some other office things on it an it lifts effortlessly. My pic only has one monitor active - I chose to do this in that I can also use my laptop as another screen and fit both facing me no problems (there is lots of space), I just rather have one monitor active.Pros: 1) it has many adjustable levels so someone like me at a height of 5'9 in is very comfortable with the assortment of settings depending on what I want to do. I think you should test one out first if you are taller than 6'1 or so as it might not be as tall as you would ideally like it to be unless your monitor(s) can increase height as well.2) effortless elevation and de-elevation, you just hold in the two foldable bars inside and lift up or down, and even with 20 lbs of things on the desk it is nearly effortless.3) it is perfect for people who have coma's after eating or just want to stretch a bit because it takes 1 second to adjust.4) the extending keyboard area is perfect, lots of room, and there is enough room for a mousepad and mouse as well5) okay at 400$, this thing is CHEAP. I have a convertible desk at work (albiet it is electronic, you hold a button and it rises), and it is like $1500. even the ones that are manual lift, anything the size of this one would cost almost $1000. Yet this doesnt compromise on stability. You can tell the build is heavy duty and will last many years. Its also very easy to clean because of the material. I've spilled stuff on it and literally wipe it away immediately with a wet paper towel.6) NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED! It is good to go out of the box (a huge box).Cons:1) obviously it’s not electronic as I previously mentioned, just wanted to clarify that in case you were looking for an electric one (but it will cost you about $1500 for a good desk)2) the desk is large! It takes up a ton of room on a regular table, I have a 5 ft x 3 ft table it will take up the entire space, you can't put anything around it, but bear in mind lots of real estate on the desk itself.3) the desk is pretty heavy as well, I think the description says this thing is 50 pounds or so, you can lift this at the gym as a dumbell but given the surface area looks like this, i highly advice you to have two people set this thing up, you do not want to drop this on you toes.I really don’t have many bad things to say about this because I am such a fan of this desk, I mean those cons are minimal in my view, for $400 or so this thing is seriously the best convertible desk on the market, build quality, durability, and ease of use. PERIOD.

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2014
Size: Pro Plus 36Color: BlackVerified Purchase
In short, I love this desk. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer for work. I decided recently that sitting in front of the computer for 8-12 hours was not good for my health and my butt was getting sore. I looked at stand-up desk options. There are desks available that look like a normal square desk and has a motor for lifting the high of the desk platform. However, they're usually pretty expensive and would replace your existing desk. Then I ran across this Varidesk option. I was a little skeptical if this would work and be stable enough. After reading other reviews of people loving it, I bit the bullet and spent the $400. A bit expensive I thought but hey, for your health, that's cheap overall and cheaper than the full desk option. I received the Varidesk about 4 days after ordering. I thought the UPS guy was going to break his back carrying it to the front door. The package weights about 70 lbs. As noted, the installation is pretty straightforward. Getting it out of the box is the most difficult task. It comes packaged in a very sturdy cardboard package. Once you pull out of the box, remove the plastic wrap, you literarily sit on top of your desk. Put your stuff back on the desk. Done!! Ok, you do need to route your keyboard and mouse wires through the back of desk so it doesn't pinch the wires when lowing the desk. It's easy to route them this way (tip: route them straight back in the middle and over the top horizontal metal support under the monitors platform, use some plastic wire hangers that can stick to a surface, stick to under side of monitor platform ). I found putting the cables in the down the middle of the desk, rather than on the sides where the hinges are located, eliminated the possibility of pinching the wires when lowing the desk all the way down. This desk is very sturdy and has no problem with twin 23" monitors. When raised/extend the Varidesk all the way to the top, it's still sturdy. Now if you happen to hit or knock into it when raised, the monitors will shake but no enough to worry about them falling off or Varidesk falling over. NOTE: If you have a 15+ lb cat, you might want to lower the desk at night. They haven't jumped on it yet but I'm thinking if they do when the desk is fully extended, it could knock something off. However, I think its sturdy enough that I don't think the Varidesk would fall off the desk. I've had this desk for about 2 weeks. I love standing up now when I work now. I find my self moving around a lot with my feet, while stretching, bending, squatting, and even breaking out in dance when a good song comes on. One other thing I really like about standing is you can easily position yourself in front of the monitor you're viewing. Instead of just turning your head side to side, you move your entire body in front of the monitor you're looking. The ergonomics of this desk at great also, The curved cutout in front of the keyboard along with the mouse platforms next to it make it comfortable to lean and support yourself as you're moving your body back and forth between monitors. The monitor platforms for the monitor are the perfect height for me. HOWEVER, I will note, as other reviews have, the desk would not be ideal for taller people without having your entire desk elevated. The Varidesk needs a stable platform to sit so I would caution setting it on something that's not rock solid to prop it up. I'm 5' 9" and it's the perfect height for me for both standing and sitting. My desk is 28" tall. The Varidesk is very easy to raise and lower (see video on Varidesk website). The spring loading is enough that a smaller, weaker person could still raise/lower the platform. My only complaint (just so I have at least one) is you might feel you lose some flat surface real estate on your current desk. However, I quickly figured out how to rearrange my desk items to fit the new setup. I actually like it better than my previous setup now. The new setup is much more ergonomic and comfortable than my previous setup. I can standup working an entire 8 hour day and still feel great. NOTE: An anti-fatique mat is essential to stand on so make sure you order one along with the Varidesk. You'll want it the very first day you use it. I bought the Genuine Joe mat. It has worked OK but I just ordered the CumulusPro because I want more cushion on my feet. I'll review when I receive it. I highly recommend this desk to anyone that keeps their butt in their chairs too long and doesn't want to spend the money or have the room for a full sized motorized lifting desk.

A friend of mine has one of these so I thought I would test drive his for a week before dropping the money to buy one for myself. I highly recommend this to you if you have this option available.

What I like: First, it came package well and fully assembled. Second, all the packaging was recyclable except for some plastic wrap. Third, the setup was easy. Just make sure you have enough cord to fully extend the desk. Once you get everything set up, fully extend the desk and then tidy the wires with the velcro style straps that come with the desk. That's it. Easy set up. Forth, it works as advertised. Many varying heights between fully down to fully up. Fifth, it is built well and looks well engineered.

What I don't like, but can live with: First, the keyboard platform. I'm a mouse to the right of my keyboard (3 o'clock position) kind of guy, so I've been trying to get use to it being to the aft right (5 o'clock position). Pay attention to this in the picture. They have a small keyboard that does not have a ten key. If you have a small keyboard like in the picture, you may still be able to use the space to the right of the keyboard. Second, the whole platform bounces a little when/if you rest your wrists on it when you type/mouse. I do this, so I do notice sometimes that the desk has some bounce. Not a deal breaker for me, but not a positive. Third, its about 2-3 inches to short for my liking. I know this is not just me, because my friend has the same complaint as did a few others that tried it out. I plan to put 2x4's flat under my desk legs to get the additional height I'm looking for, but it would be nice if the Veridesk raised a couple more inches. Forth, It comes forward a quite a bit. Another co-worker of mine bought an adjustable desk by a differnt brand and it raised vertically. This did require a little more effort, but I did like that it went straight up and not up and forward like the Veridesk. Honestly, if I knew this before the Veridesk purchase, I would have bought the other brand.

In summary, I'm not a fan of the placement of the mouse nor the space for mousing. It could rise a couple more inches for a 6' tall person. It wobbles a little if you rest your wrists when typing/mousing. It comes forward towards you and not just straight up. Other than those things, I love standing for the majority of the day, and being able to sit when I get tired. After two weeks, I stand 90% of the time I'm at my desk.

With a 2-3 hour commute each day plus sitting behind a desk for 9 hours, my backside and lower back are suffering. This purchase was the best thing I could have done to relieve some pains. Comes fully assembled, set up took less than 5 minutes, the ease of raising and lowering the desk is great. Very sturdy and secure unlike other devices I have seen where the keyboard table actually bounces up and down while typing. Spend the extra $$ and get something you will be happy with. It was on sale for 20% off when I purchased it. I do recommend that you get a memory foam mat to stand on.

I bought the Pro Plus 36, and later added the rubber mat and adjustable monitor arm.

This has, without a doubt, positively improved my working day. Save for the occasional stint at the gym, I've essentially spent the last 20 years of my working life sat on my backside. As a computer programmer, this doesn't tend to be 9-5, either. It's not uncommon to be sat down 8-12 hours or more at a stretch. After reading an article suggesting that 'sitting is the next smoking', it brought home just how much this could be impacting my health, so I decided to try a standing desk.

After doing a bit of research, the Varidesk Pro Plus 36 seemed like the best option. I already have a pretty decent table, but it's not adjustable at all - this 'hybrid' model works perfectly, by essentially transforming my static desk into something height adjustable. The price was a sweet spot for me -- while there are cheaper table-top options, this is incredibly good value for the build quality. At the same time, I didn't want to shell out £1,500+ for a full standing desk, since I have a perfectly decent table already. So this was ideal.

Speaking of the build quality, I'd sum it up by saying "it feels American". American products seem to be sturdier, larger, easier, better engineered, somehow. I've found that with numerous higher-end products, and this is all of those things. The desk was shipped from the Netherlands but I believe it's manufactured in the US. It's big and heavy, and feels incredibly well made. This is evidenced by the fact it's sent as a SINGLE item-- there's no assembly required. Just take out of the box, put on your table, and you're ready to go.

Size-wise, the 36" model is perfect for my use. On the lower rung, it fits a Macbook Pro 15", a separate mouse and mouse mat, and a book or notepad comfortably. On the top layer, I have a 27" monitor on Varidesk's adjustable arm (sold separately- worth the investment, see my other review), often a large mug of coffee, and a book stand that often seats a heavy technical manual of some kind. It fits all of that stuff without having to shift anything around; what's more, adjusting between seated and standing positions is sturdy and smooth enough that I don't have to move loose items around out of fear of dropping anything. It's incredibly sturdy and well made.

Health-wise, clearly, using your legs throughout the day as a means to be healthier is a no brainer. Few people would dispute that sitting down all day is good for your well-being. With that said, I think the health benefits of standing may be a little overstated (by others; not Varidesk directly). I've read miraculous stories of people dropping kilos of weight and curing life-long back pains. That's perhaps possible, but for me, it was much simpler -- it helped me stand up straighter, and put a little less stress on my back. I don't think standing is a panacea alone; it's more about not being locked into one position all day, every day, and having the freedom to move.

It takes a good few weeks to adjust to standing, routinely. At first, I found myself putting all my weight on one leg or another, and would often end the day with leg cramps. It takes a little persistence to remember not to stand 'lazily', and a few weeks to get the balance between standing time and sitting time right. For the first little while, I went a little gung ho on standing and my legs and back actually felt worse before they got better.

In my experience with this over the last few months, the ideal balance is to sit for maybe 3/4 of the day, stand for the other 1/4. Alternate between the two every couple of hours. It's here where this desk REALLY shines. Adjusting takes 5 seconds. Just shove your chair out the way, grab the clips at either side, and lift up or down. I was quite surprised by how adjustable the desk was; there are plenty of 'notches' and finding a position that works for any height is simple. I should add that I'm 5'8" and the desk goes PLENTY high for me. It could comfortably work for a someone 6" or taller. It depends on exactly what height desk you're starting with too, of course.

I would recommend this model to anyone that has a large enough desk to host it (see the attached pic to get an ideal for the size), and who wants to improve their health whilst working for longer periods at that desk. This will solve the 'standing' part. It won't alone solve the sitting. I'd still recommend a good chair (swapping a cheap IKEA one for a Herman Miller Embody, in my case, made as much difference as going from a static to a standing desk since snapping the attached pic.)

A good chair + this standing desk = a positive improvement to your health for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best and most affordable stand-up desk out there
Reviewed in Canada on March 13, 2015

I was looking for an affordable stand-up desk when someone recommended Varidesk. After comparing it to other complex-looking stand-up gizmos that clamped to your desk, I decided to give Varidesk a try. The design of the Varidesk Pro Plus seemed to make the most sense and was ideal for my notebook + external monitor setup.

The desk shipped quickly and was a breeze to set up: no assembly, no clamping. Just clear your desk, unpack the Varidesk, then put all your stuff back on! The spring-loaded release works smoothly and it raises and lowers silently, with little effort. The construction is very solid and sturdy and the unit appears to be very high quality. There is a generous amount of space on both shelves to put your stuff.

Just a couple of nits though:

- I am 5' 10" and the raised height is just perfect for me in the standing position. Taller coworkers came by and tried it out and found the raised height still too low. If you're tall, you'll need to place some wood blocks beneath the feet.
- The keyboard try area is very spacious and deep, but the "mouse pad" wings on either side are not very large and are unnecessarily close to your body. I like to push my keyboard further in and have my mouse arm extended a bit, but that's impossible given the design of the unit. My my mouse arm feels a bit cramped.
- The unit is about $100 cheaper on Amazon.com, but they won't ship to Canada. :-(

I docked one star for the mouse issue, because it's a recurring one that kind of annoys me. But otherwise the desk is very good.

EDITED MAR 13: After using this for a few days, I've managed to reposition it a bit to minimize my "mouse" grievances. Therefore I am elevating it to 5 stars.
