CHANGEdesk Standing Desk Converter
Keep the desk you already own - then raise your entire workstation straight up
CHANGEdesk adds five seated-to-standing work heights without replacing your current desk. Its gas spring-assisted mechanism lifts vertically instead of swinging toward you, while the compact 18 × 25.25 in desk footprint preserves more usable space around the converter. Two keyboard-tray mounting positions give you another way to set the distance between your screen and hands.
A compact converter with serious vertical range
Go from low seated work to 21.25 in high without the platform lunging into your space
Tall maximum height
Raise the work surface substantially for standing setups.
Vertical lift path
The converter rises vertically instead of swinging forward toward the user.
Compact desk footprint
Preserves more of the original desk around the converter.
Repeatable positions
Fixed stops make it easy to return to the same seated or standing height.
Keyboard placement options
Choose the upper fixed mount or lower adjustable mounting position.
The desk should rise - not move toward you
CHANGEdesk travels vertically to keep the workstation footprint under control
Five fixed heights from seated to standing
Squeeze the side lever, let the gas spring assist the lift, and move CHANGEdesk to the next locking position. The platform travels straight up and down, so raising the converter does not push the keyboard and monitor farther into your working space.
- Five fixed working heights.
- Approx. 4.1, 10, 15.4, 18.75, and 21.25 in.
- Gas spring-assisted adjustment.
- Simple squeeze-lever release.
- No electricity required.
Tall without taking over the desk
A compact 18 × 25.25 in footprint leaves more of your original workspace usable
Built for desks where every inch matters
CHANGEdesk concentrates its lifting mechanism beneath the work surface instead of using a large forward-swinging frame. That makes it a strong option for cubicles, home offices, shared desks, and other work areas where floor and desktop space are limited.
- Approx. 18 × 25.25 in desk footprint.
- Approx. 28 × 20 in upper work surface.
- Vertical movement preserves front-to-back workspace.
- Useful for laptops and common monitor setups within the load limit.
Do not let the keyboard be an afterthought
Two tray mounting positions let you choose how the keyboard sits beneath the screen
Upper fixed or lower adjustable keyboard placement
CHANGEdesk gives the keyboard its own mounting choice instead of permanently fixing it to one distance beneath the monitor. Use the upper mounting location for a simpler setup, or the lower adjustable position when you want more separation between the keyboard and main work surface.
- Upper fixed keyboard-tray mounting position.
- Lower adjustable keyboard-tray mounting position.
- Quick tray attachment.
- Ambidextrous mouse platform can be placed right or left.
- No drilling into the existing desk.
Keep the desk. Skip the installation project.
Place CHANGEdesk on the work surface and attach the tray - no permanent desk modification
Most of the converter arrives ready to go
CHANGEdesk does not bolt into your existing desk. Place the converter on a suitable work surface, attach the keyboard tray, and begin using the five height positions. That makes it easier to move, reconfigure, or remove later than a permanently installed workstation.
- No drilling into the existing desk.
- No permanent installation.
- Quick keyboard-tray attachment.
- Approx. 30 lb converter weight.
- Approx. 30 lb maximum working load.

United StatesUnstable
This is very unstable as the height is adjusted it can tilt side to side and is difficult to lock into position
United StatesVery difficult to adjust!
I was super excited about getting this as I've wanted one for a couple of years. I'm disappointed in how difficult it is to operate. It jams and sticks, making it VERY difficult to lift to the standing positions. It takes multiple (typically 5-6) very strong attempts to get it to move upward. When it finally moves, it jumps up in jerky motions and is not at all simple or smooth. I like the sit, stand options and the spaciousness, but it does not operate well. I called and emailed Uncaged Ergonomics multiple times about the concern, and each time was advised "you need to clean the dust from the mechanisms". I have cleaned and dusted the mechanisms repeatedly and this has not made any difference. Yet, that has been the company's only response.
United StatesAdjustable standing desk
I like the desk a lot — my only complaint is that it can be a little rough getting it to engage and move and lift once it is flattened. I have to pull on it pretty hard to get it to release and then it kinda jumps up. Its not smooth. Like the design and the space it affords for computer, montior, keyboard and space for papers and such.
United StatesWell-designed. Well-built. Just perfect for my needs.
Solid, intelligently designed, mechanical not electric (who needs another thing to plug in and another component to go bad?). Thanks for building this at a reasonable price point. Also, the instructions need updating, but the office is very responsive to questions and can send directions/diagrams upon request for keyboard tray.
United StatesGreat Adjustable Standing Desk
My employees really like this adjustable desk. I have two people that use it on different shifts. One person sits down most of the day while the other prefers to stand. The original desk I received was damaged during the shipping process, but I got a free replacement with no questions asked. I’m very pleased with the product and customer service!
