The Stand Steady X-Elite Pro XL is a standing desk converter that allows you to transition between sitting and standing throughout the day. It features a large 36 by 16-inch single surface that is big enough to hold two monitors side-by-side. The frame is made of cold-rolled steel for a sturdy feel, and it arrives fully assembled, which is a major convenience for busy parents. The pneumatic lift system helps you raise the platform easily, though it may require a little extra effort when first starting the lift if you have a lot of heavy gear on top.
Because the monitors and keyboard sit on the same level, taller users might find it helpful to use a separate monitor arm to get the screens at a more comfortable eye height while standing. The black laminate surface is durable and resists moisture, making it easy to clean up after coffee spills. The unit is designed to lift straight up and down, so it doesn't take up extra room in your office when you change positions. Its broad base is built to prevent tipping, ensuring it feels secure even when fully extended to its 16-inch height.
This converter is an excellent tool for adding movement to your workday without replacing your existing desk. While it doesn't have a separate keyboard tray, the large flat surface provides plenty of room for your mouse, notepad, and even a cup of coffee. It is a reliable, heavy-duty option for those who want a simple way to improve their ergonomic setup at home.
If you prefer a fixed riser that focuses on storage rather than height adjustment, the Aboxoo Wide Riser offers a similar amount of surface area. Browse our desktop shelf risers to find other ways to customize your workspace height.
