The keyboard tray is relatively smaller with a width of 28” (71 cm) and a depth of 9” (22.8 cm). The keyboard tray can be extended outwards towards the user to make typing more comfortable. The converter desk adds 4.2” to the desk’s height which can be raised and adjusted between 10.5” to 19.7”. This height adjustment is achieved through two handles on each side of the desk which can be squeezed, desk lowered or raised, and handles released to lock desk at that particular height. A small mouse tray attaches with the keyboard tray on either the right or left side.

Appearance and Maintenance

The Vivo Standing Desk Converter comes in two colors: black and white. Although this desk is a low-price sit-stand desk, it provides a finished outlook which is aesthetically pleasing. The solid black or white color blends well with any room interior to give a polished and neat look. The bottom of the desk is padded which helps it to remain stationary on the table and prevents scratches. A number of cable management supplies are provided alongside which help to keep the workspace neat. Its steel frame is sturdy which does not allow it to wobble in the sitting position. However, when raised to the maximum height, the upper work surface moves a bit forward. If the keyboard tray is also extended outwards, it poses the risk of the desk tipping over. The height adjustment handles sometimes become tight and lowering the desk becomes a tedious task. A few screws at the back of the frame need to be loosened to allow for smooth height adjustment. Details of similar technical issues and troubleshooting are outlined in the support manual of the converter desk.
