What is a desk riser?

A desk riser sits on top of your existing desk to create a flexible sit-stand setup. It lets you easily adjust your screen and workspace height without replacing your current desk.

Are desk risers good for ergonomics?

Yes! Desk risers make it easy to switch between sitting and standing throughout the day, which supports healthier posture and movement. This flexibility helps reduce strain from prolonged sitting while keeping your body more active.

Can a desk riser turn any desk into a standing desk?

Absolutely. A desk riser converts most flat surfaces into adjustable workstations, giving you the benefits of a standing desk in minutes — no installation or tools required.

How do you choose the right desk riser?

Look for a riser that fits your desk size and supports your monitor setup. Consider weight capacity, surface area, and lift range to ensure stability and comfortable adjustability for your workspace.

Do desk risers help with neck and back pain?

They can. By encouraging regular movement and allowing you to alternate positions, a desk riser helps prevent the stiffness that comes from staying seated too long. Elevating your screen and keyboard also promotes upright posture.

WE'VE FURNISHED THOUSANDS OF OFFICES & MODEL SUITES

For years, standing desk converters have offered a practical path to sit-stand working—perfect for those who want better ergonomics without replacing a cherished desk or making room for a dedicated standing desk. Unfortunately, they've also long been characterized by industrial aesthetics that dominate your workspace. After three years of design and extensive engineering, we developed an innovative open-frame architecture that combines safe and stable height adjustment with a minimal aesthetic that enhances any space.

Our breakthrough in form and function starts with an open frame that appears as thoughtful as it performs—with a spring-assisted mechanism that supports smooth transitions between sitting and standing, a comfort edge to reduces pressure points, and a minimal footprint that respects mixed-use spaces. Whether at home or in the office, the Desk Riser offers the freedom to work how you want, where you want—with no tools or complex setup required. Add the optional shelf to elevate screens and create a more expansive workspace that adapts to your needs.
