WorkFit-A Dual Monitor Standing Desk Converter, Sit Stand Workstation for Tabletops – Level Keyboard Tray

This is a well built and designed device. This is for the person that demands the ability to stand or sit at a moments notice. At the slightest push I can go from sitting to standing, simply amazing. This is the one for tall people, I am 6'-4" and its got room for a couple more inches of height. After setting it up (took me 3 hours :/) I was very disappointed (yes not happy) by how shaky the overall device is. Every keystroke and mouse click left the device shaking uncontrollably. I was disappointed and even considered returning the device. HOWEVER I gave it a couple days and I began to fall in love with it. I have learned to type more carefully and to adapt to the slight shake of the screen. YES it shakes, can I deal with it? YES. I am considering making a kickstand but honestly I have moved past it and realize that its perfect just the way it is. The thing is sleek, well built and does exactly what its advertised to do. Just be ready for the shakes and learn to adapt. I also recommend getting 10ft cords to leave your CPU under your desk. Beware bluetooth keyboards and mouses as the signal is disrupted by the metal keyboard tray. To solve this get a usb extension cord and mount your usb blue tooth receiver near the keyboard and mouse, works perfectly now. Overall the thing is worth every penny in my opinion.

The WorkFit-A Dual (Ergotron's name) is a remarkable product. Just hefting the armature told me that this was worth every cent of the purchase prices, and it's likely to last as long as I use a keyboard/mouse/monitor interface to my computer. The unit is thoughtfully engineered (the two-part mounting plate with the massive dome-head screws... genius!) and the labeled parts sleeves were a welcome change from most "assembly required" packaging. The assembly process was easy to follow in the included directions.Even at 6' 5", I can easily adjust the unit to a good working height; I currently have only one monitor attached, but I will likely use a pair of 23" ViewSonics and they should fit without width or weight problems. Chatting with Ergotron support for a question was also a good experience.If you want to maintain flexibility and back health, consider one of these. Amazon's price was easily the best I found. I am very happy with the purchase.

This thing is a monster! I should have realized that when I saw it at a trade show, but it's hard to assess scale in a cavernous convention center. My five-sided desk is 72" on one side so it is pretty big, but this rig kind of dominates it.But it does the job. I have a Samsung 24" monitor and a Lenovo T430 mounted as the dual set-up. It took some tinkering to get them aligned on the stand. The model numbers for the laptop kit did not match the assembly instructions but it wasn't hard to figure out and everything went together well anyway.The cable management is a little fussy. The instruction call for routing the keyboard/mouse cables inside the supporting arm, but the channels don't hold them very well. The designer need to figure out how to make clips inside the channel to keep things in place, and develop loops of some sort to capture the cables when they leave the articulating portions of the arm.The knickknack tray is huge and perfect for documents. It's not the intended use and will throw off your adjustment to keep the arm steady in a raised position. I got around that by using a prop intended for a similar but different product under the knickknack tray . Oh, and I know the manufacturer does not call it the knickknack tray, but I do. My unit clamps to my desk. The mount and main arm are beautiful examples of cast aluminum and look capable of hoisting a 40" monitor with ease. The whole thing swivels with ease and raising or lowering the arm is virtually effortless.Overall, I like it but it is larger than I thought it would be. But it is sized for the job, which it does very well.

My needs:I have 2 LG 29" monitors (the extra wide ones) and wanted an adjustable standing desk. I work from home and travel on average 50% of the time. Caution: In its out of the box configuration, this mounting arm will not support two 29" monitors. Read ahead for how I did this.Installation:I'm not the most handy guy, but I am familiar with basic household repairs like toilet repair, adjusting bike seats, drywall patching. On a complexity of installation scale I would give this about an 8 or 9. Ideally, you want to have 2 people putting this together because the parts can be heavy and sometimes you need someone to hold a part while the other tightens a screw or bolt. The first unit I had actually had to go back because I was unable to fix 2 bolts that basically attach the horizontal and vertical part of the arm. By the time I realized I needed another person, I had ruined the threads and head of the allen wrench type bolt provided. Customer service was very helpful in providing instructions for return shipping and sending a new unit. When I received a second unit (which didn't seem entirely brand new, but okay...) I was smart enough to recruit someone else to hold the pieces. Also, some special tools will help here. From Home Depot you can buy a ratchet set that basically has allen wrench heads, which make it much easier. Have to be careful in using those, as if you're not gentle, you can easily strip the head of the screw.Monitor SetupHere, I basically nullified my warranty because I wanted to have both 29 inch monitors, and this is not only beyond the spec of this unit, but it's actually not possible to put such large monitors on. Not because it won't support it from a weight perspective, but because the bar the monitors slide on isn't long enough. I took the piece to a local metal shop and was going to have them build me a replica except one that was longer. After we got to talking, the machinist and I realized, it would probably be easier to extend the bar provided by welding on additional pieces on each end. I explained to him how this was going to be used and what kind of weight the bars needed to support. He was confident the welding job would work, and it has, for the last 6 months!UsageIt works pretty well, except that there is a little bit of shaking by the unit when raised - it's not equivalent to having a desk. I guess it's unreasonable to expect that level of stability. Until the time of this writing, I've kept my apple keyboard and trackpad on the front surface where it's supposed to be. The surface behind it is pretty much useless for anything one might want to put there, like a cup of coffee, without some modification. Why? Because it's a flat surface with no traction and is tilted downward (towards the user). Wanna place keys there? Forget it. I've thought about getting a mousepad to put there, but just haven't bothered.Today, however, I decided to try something different. I removed the front surface entirely. It comes off easily with 2 screws. I moved the keyboard and trackpad to the back surface, which surprisingly, is actually working. The benefit of this configuration? One, it makes it a *little* more stable than banging on a keyboard resting on the front surface. Two, if you should decide to sit down (which I do, usually at the end of my day), you don't lose the entire surface of the desk. The downsides: Aesthetically, you've got piece where the surface attached folded down looking like a sorry lip waiting to be fed. But more importantly, you have to stand closer to the monitors. With 58" of monitor width to span, my head will be turning left to right quite a bit. I'll provide an update if this becomes too problematic. But even if it does, it only means I go back to the previous configuration and put the front surface back on.Final note:The arm's tension can be adjusted easily. And there are several places this can be done. Customer service can and did help in the beginning when I was having challenges with getting the arm to stay where I want. The base, even while fixed sometimes swivels and I have to reposition it to be straight. Just have been too lazy to get behind my desk and tighten it further as this would probably require moving my desk, which in turn requires taking the monitors down. Taking the monitors down is easy except they have to be unplugged. Not the fault of the manufacturer, but I still haven't figured out an efficient way to keep the mess of wires neat and hidden as much as possible. Something to consider for the aesthetic freaks out there (I'm half way there myself, so no insult intended!).I think this is my first major review of any product online, anywhere. Woo-hoo, I'm social! Pretty good for an introvert.
