TARKAN Wood Standing Desk Riser, Height Adjustable Sit to Stand Desktop Workstation Table for Laptop & Monitor (Black)

A very well engineered product. The quality is superb and it is quite sturdy.

Summary: This is a great choice if you need something affordable and mobile. For the price, it's sturdy enough and gets the job done without much of any issues. Overall, it gets the job done. You don't have to purchase a entire desk that costs 10k-15k and make a long term commitment. For a person looking for a temporary solution for a desk height extension or in need of a standing height work desk this is a good choice for the price range. The Good: - The measurements are accurate; as mentioned in the description. (Please ensure to measure your table or space before purchase.) - It's sturdy enough, does not bend or slouch in any manner while working. - The height adjustment mechanism is manual and very simple. (Pull the knob and then lift the desk up) - Can be easily stored away if not needed, it does take a lot of space when folded down. The Bad: - The simple adjustment mechanism not refined, you have to sometimes reach the downside and manually push the locking pin into place. (As seen in the images, each level of height has a grove - when you lift up it does not always settle in the groves but has to be pushed up manually to fit it. However, with regular use you get used to it.) - Since it is basic metal and manual it does make some clunky sounds while you adjust the height.

Extremely happy with this product. It is well designed, and has a nice finishing. Most standing stations in this price point are either too ugly to be on your office desk and are just not right as a standing workstation. This standing is so easy to use, just snaps right on in position straight from the box. The height adjusts in approximately one inch increments and doing that is is easy and can be done without removing the laptop, mouse, etc. It is sturdy enough for me to place my i-Mac on it - although I mostly use it with my laptop. Unless you are looking to spend 8-10x the price of this stand don’t bother looking - there’s nothing else even close in terms of ease of use and looks.

Update - the frame got bent even after light use and now the table is at an angle. Never used it for anything other then a laptop, it was always at max height did not even regularly changed it or move it around. Would not buy again. It's a great value for money product. It has decent build quality and can easily handle a laptop and convert any table to a standing desk. It's easy to increase and decrease the height once you know how it works. FYI - maybe a YouTube video or a manual would be nice for people saying it's not easy to operate. Just pull down on the lever and pull the table up a little to release the lock, and then you can adjust the height easily.

The standing desk quality is not good. The top is made up of low quality board, it's good for placing a laptop but u can't put ur elbows on the board because a little pressure and it will bend. The lift mechanism squeaks and is not aligned properly. I had to tighten the screws. Now coming to the stopping mechanism, it is terrible and the sound everytime it locks is very loud and is irritating. Still u can live with that if the mechanism would work, but it doesn't work. For lower levels the lock slots into place properly and is ok but if u lock at the highest level then releasing the lock is a headache. U have to tumble and place the table head down a d manually press and release it. This issue had been reported by most other reviewers, I wish I had listened to them. The only good thing is the quality of the metal used. If ur height is under 5.9' then it will be ok but anything over u will be looking down so u have to keep that laptop stand over this again. There is a model with gas struts that costs double of this model, if u can afford please go with that model. The only reason I had kept it because there is a carpenter near me who said he can modify my model like the gas strut one. So my hope is that would work and I will also ask him to increase the height for me. Overall not worth 2k, the cheap ones at 500rs do the same job and the mechanism is quite simple in those.
