Flexpro Hero 37 Inch Standing Desk Converter, for Office and Home, Height Adjustable, 2 Level Sit to Stand Workspace with Keyboard Shelf & Monitor Riser, Sit or Stand (Black, 37 x 18 x 4.5 to 20)

Have been mulling over purchasing a standing desk converter (to place on top of existing desk) for probably a year. I am fortunate to be able to work from home the majority of the time, and this purchase was coming out of my pocket. Reviews were mixed on every one I was considering (hard to lift, keyboard tray too small, etc.). The only converter I have been able to try in person was the Varidesk Pro 36. It was a bit difficult to raise. And, of course, it is one of the more expensive converters.I was a bit hesitant to purchase this as there were limited reviews, but was tired of putting it off and ready to bite the bullet. My “office” is a 29” X 59” desk in my bedroom where I also have my personal desktop PC, and I was satisfied with the aesthetics of the setup so didn’t want too drastic a change. Except for an occasional notepad, I have no paperwork to deal with. I have a keyboard tray in the desk (drawer) for sitting down, so only wanted the converter keyboard for standing (I am using it some for sitting, but ergonomics is not ideal for me since the desk keyboard prevents me from raising chair any further). Only needed room for one monitor (24” smart TV – actual width is 22”) –my personal PC is connected to the monitor with HDMI cable and laptop with RGB.Pros (as far as I am concerned):• Half the price of the VariDesk (which I came very close to purchasing)• A bit shorter than others when at its lowest position• Width was perfect for my needs (about 32”)• Depth was perfect for my needs (total a bit less than 25”)• 16” x 30” is the size of what actually sits on the desk (and there are protective bumpers so it is not scratching the wood surface).• Keyboard tray perfect width and depth. Plenty of room for wireless regular keyboard, wireless mouse, and my morning coffee. FYI, my keyboard tray width is 32” (31.5”) – not 37” as the description says, but that is a pro for me. The keyboard tray and top shelf are the same width.• And, for now, the most important thing: I can raise the keyboard and lower it with one hand WITH a full cup of coffee on the keyboard tray (this model has one lever on the right-hand side). FYI, I am a little 60 something female with embarrassing little upper body strength. Time will tell how well the hydraulic pump lift holds up.• The weight of the converter is ideal for me. Was a little concerned about how I was going to lift a 50 lb. converter onto my desk – I was able to lift this with no problem. (I think it's around 30 lbs or so) I put it on desk first, then “installed” the keyboard tray.• Very pleased with the overall stability – it feels like everything is sitting on the desk itself as I type with this raised.Not cons, but just saying…• My monitor is a bit lower than I would like in proportion to keyboard, but keep in mind that mine sits low anyway (TV, not on a stand), so a true computer monitor would probably be much better.• The little “phone holder” at the front of the top shelf is useless as far as I am concerned. I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t have a cover on their phone, and it doesn’t seem to accommodate most style covers on phones (tried old phone with otterbox cover and new phone with wallet style – even opened it wouldn’t fit). I’d say get rid of it next redesign. I think most phone users have some way already established to prop up phone on a surface.• The overall “finish” on this (edges, etc.) doesn’t look as nice as the VariDesk Pro, but for half the price, that is perfectly fine by me. It looks nice enough.• An adjustable keyboard tray would be nice, but I suspect that would contribute to a lesser stable function.Bottom line is that I would not hesitate recommending this item to anyone.

Usually I bypass Amazon products that has no reviews, but this standing desk was the only one that fulfills my wife's requirements. So this is my review of the Stand Ready FlexPro Hero standing desk based on my wife's feedback.The one major requirement for my wife is that the standing desk must be wide and this 37 inch desk seemed to be the only widest available at this price point. And not just the width of the monitor shelf but also the keyboard shelf had to be just as wide. She uses two monitors at work and her keyboard and mouse needs just as a wide space for her to be comfortable. The Stand Steady FlexPro Hero standing desk fit this criteria and I was willing purchase it for my wife given that I had no other choice to choose from.Once we received the FlexPro Hero at her work, it was mainly pre-assembled out of the box. Only thing that had to attached was the keyboard shelf and a tool was included for this. It took more time re-arranging her main desk in preparing for the space needed for the FlexPro Hero than assembling the FlexPro Hero itself - so it was easy to put together. Also we did notl need to unplug anything from her computer. Please note that because of the nature of any standing desk, you may need to provide extension cables for the monitor(s) and keyboard/mouse (if they are not wireless).My wife has been using the FlexPro Hero for almost a month now and she loves it! She feels very comfortable using it and has improved her workflow as well as her wellbeing. Since then, others in her office have been asking about it and she loves demonstrating the Stand Steady FlexPro Hero. Safe to say that my wife highly recommends this product.

The best thing about this desk is that it fits on a work space that is not very deep. Our front desk has a walk-up counter on the front that reduces the depth of the work space to just under 18" This unit fit perfectly on the desk and, with the keyboard extension, actually expanded the available space. It adjusts easily and is really very stable. It's not sturdy enough to be leaned on (like during a little chit chat), but as a work platform, it performs very well. The really great thing is that it goes straight up and down, no rising in an arc. It is not just 2 levels as indicated in the headline description. IT can be locked in multiple levels.The only thing that is really a nuisance is the large slot in the upper work surface. It pretty much negates being able to use this area for any kind of writing unless you have something substantial under you paper and don't mind writing over the hump created by the grommet. I wish you could buy it without the slot, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another!It's priced right and was easy to assemble. 98% a winner!

My husband purchased the FlexPro sit/stand desk for his home office and has used for a couple of weeks now. Overall he rates it between 4 and 5 starts. 5 stars if you have only one monitor, 4 stars if you use two monitors. With a single monitor and laptop, keyboard and mouse the desk is reasonably easy for the average adult to adjust the height. However, with a dual monitor setup with fixed monitor stand (see details below) he finds it takes a little muscle to move it up to the correct height (he is 5”10”) even though his system’s weight of 33.25 Ibs is less than the manufacturer’s stated rating of up to 35 Ib. For the price point of $200 though he definitely recommends the product and likes the fact that it has a large work surface area for paper documents and plenty of room for the keyboard and mouse on the keyboard tray.System setup: HP Elitebook laptop weighing 5.25 Ibs; HP docking station: 1.7 Ibs; Keyboard & Mouse: 2.1 Ib; VIVO Dual Monitor Curved Horizontal Array Desk Mount Stand: weighs 11 Ibs; HP monitors weighing 6.6 Ibs each.
