Quick Info

What is a Desk Riser?

A desk riser, or desk converter, sits on top of an existing desk, table, or worktop, instantly converting it into a sit-stand desk.

It requires no installation and is ready to use almost straight from the box.

Your desk riser enables you to spend time both sitting and standing at your desk, with plenty of room for your keyboard, screen, and other necessary materials.

It is a simple, low-cost way to enjoy the benefits of sit-stand working in any workplace.

A Yo-Yo DESK® riser is manually operated using spring-assisted handles, making it simple to raise and lower.

Pros and cons of buying a standing desk converter

A standing desk converter is a low-cost, low-impact way of enjoying the benefits of sit-stand working.

It enables you to quickly transform your normal workstation into a healthful standing desk.

Your Sit-Stand.Com® desk riser will arrive within 1-2 days (depending on UK location, model and availability) and is ready to use pretty much straight out of the box (simply attach keyboard using the tool provided).

A Yo-Yo DESK® riser is robust and stable, enabling you to work from a seated or standing position with zero wobble.

You may find you love sit-stand working so much you wish to upgrade from a manually-operated desk converter to a full electric standing desk.

If you need a standing desk converter that can be packed away when not in use, choose a lightweight, portable model, such as the Yo-Yo DESK® LITE.

Standing desk converter vs electric desks

A stand up desk converter requires no installation and is a low-cost way of enjoying the benefits of sit-stand working without having to reorganise your office space.

Check the size range for the model you have selected to ensure it will fit on top of your existing desktop, and that it is recommended for your height. Different standing desk risers, such as the Yo-Yo DESK® GO, are appropriate for taller users.

Electric standing desks require some build/installation.

We recommend you choose a cable management system to manage wires from any electric standing desk and computer equipment.

Electric sit-stand desks take up more space as they include legs and full desktop.

The delivery time may be longer on an electric desk.

Different types of desk converter

Desk converters fall into one of two categories: robust, sturdy solutions such as the Yo-Yo DESK CLASSIC which transforms an existing workstation into a sit-stand desk; and portable solutions such as the Yo-Yo DESK® LITE which is designed to fold away and is thus perfect for temporary sit-stand working, home working, schoolwork, or hot-desking.

Different brands of stand-up desk converter

Yo-Yo DESK® CLASSIC range sits permanently on your desk or tabletop, instantly converting it into a sit-stand desk. It comes in a variety of widths, from Yo-Yo DESK MINI to Yo-Yo DESK 120, with a maximum weight capacity of between 15kg and 20kg (depending on model). It is simple to raise and lower in just a few seconds with minimum effort using a spring-assisted (gas strut) lift mechanism that drives squeeze and release handles on either side of the desk.

Yo-Yo DESK® SLIM is a range of desks which have a lighter frame and a slimmer desktop. These desk converters offer smooth height adjustment operated by a single handle. They come in three sizes (80cm wide, 120cm wide or 95cm wide CUBE with angled corners) and two colours. The Yo-Yo DESK SLIM desk converter offers 30 adjustable heights, is the perfect choice for smaller workstations and suitable for users 162cm or shorter.

Yo-Yo DESK® GO range of sit stand desk converters is suitable for taller users and those requiring multiple screens, which are simply mounted on the vertical monitor arm. Made from materials including steel and aircraft-grade aluminium, these desk converters are built to handle the daily rigours of active working life for years to come. Every desk in this range carries a three-year warranty.

Yo-Yo DESK® LITE is a lightweight, folding desk riser that can sit permanently under your laptop, ready to convert any surface into a standing desk whenever you feel like sit-stand working. Alternatively, is simple to close and store when not needed, making it perfect for home working, schoolwork, or hot-desking. Its elegant slim design adjusts to 10 different heights and comes with a five-year warranty.

Installation tips

It could not be easier to install a sit stand desk converter. Yo-Yo DESK® risers are ready to use almost straight from the box. Simply attach the keyboard tray using the screws and screwdriver supplied and you are ready to go. You may need help to lift your desk riser into place.

Expert advice about desk converters

Increasingly experts recommend reducing sitting time and increasing activity levels at work, with desk converters being a quick, low-cost, effective way to stand more without having to completely reorganize your workplace.

Try adopting a daily timetable for using your standing desk. For example, start off your day working from a standing position while you check your calendar and emails. Switch to a seated position for in-depth report writing, then back to standing when you take and make phone calls.

Video meetings are best made from a standing position as this helps keep you alert, creative and motivated. Many find that stand-up meetings tend to run more efficiently and finish sooner.

Avoid the post-lunch energy slump by spending a period working with your desk riser in the upright position, and always leave your desk in the ‘up’ position when you leave your office for the day. This will remind you to start your morning working from your feet, especially if you have a sedentary commute.

Team your desk converter with an anti-fatigue mat to help promote micro-movements while you are on your feet, protect joints and ease fatigue. This improves the health benefits of a standing desk converter.

Visit our ‘Ask Linda’ webpage to view advice and videos from our resident expert physiotherapist. Linda recommends adopting a variety of important sit-stand habits, equally helpful to new and experienced standing desk users wishing to adopt best practices.

What things should be considered before buying a desk converter?

what space do you have available? Desk converters come in a range of shapes and sizes, including corner desks to maximise space. Check the base footprint of the desk riser you are considering ensuring it will fit securely on your existing desktop. It is not recommended to site a permanent desk riser on a glass table or desktop.
how many screens do you need to accommodate? If using multiple screens, we recommend you choose the Yo-Yo DESK® GO 2 standing desk converters.
how tall are you? Certain desk riser ranges, such as the Yo-Yo DESK® GO, are recommended for taller users. Check product info pages for details.
how often will be you using your desk riser? If it needs to be packed away between work sessions, for example if you are short of space while homeworking, are a hot-desker or a student, consider getting a foldable desk converter such as the Yo-Yo DESK® LITE.

What other solutions should I consider?

We recommend you use an anti-fatigue mat with all sit-stand desks and these are available free with certain desks. Remember also to think about seating options. When evaluating seating options try to consider a perch stool or other active seating solutions as these will reduce the tendency to sit for prolonged periods and also encourage you to move your core muscles when seated.

Standing at a desk tip

Divide your working day into periods spent standing and periods spent sitting. Moving between the two positions will help activate your metabolism, ease strain on your joints and keep you alert and productive.

All Sit-Stand.Com desk risers arrive with a set of user guidelines to ensure you get maximum standing desk benefits. If you are a stand-up desk newbie, start gently, gradually increasing the amount of time you spend standing. This will ease joint and muscle ache and help your body get used to active working habits.

Get into the habit of standing at your desk riser at certain times of day or for certain tasks - for example, immediately after lunch or while you are on the phone. Some people always like to do reading tasks from a standing position and writing tasks from a seated position.

Watch quick video tips on simple stretches to do at your standing desk from our expert physiotherapist Linda on our Ask Linda page. These simple exercises will improve your physical and mental health, keeping you fresh and pain-free throughout your working week.

Check your posture regularly to ensure you are working in the best ergonomic position. Find out how to set up your desk converter correctly here.
