Staple Food Alliance and Scale FlexFit Desk Converter Review: Reliable Risers
The included keyboard rest is optional, although the entire process is designed to work together. A little annoying. I hope you can roll the tray into the riser to hide it, which will make the FlexFit look more elegant and will also help with storage. You can’t adjust the height of the tray either, so while I don’t have the problem of typing on the keyboard, I found that my wrist squeezed a little out when using the Apple Magic Trackpad because it was a little too low. This may or may not be a problem for you – I 6’4″ and my limbs are oddly proportioned.
The FlexFit desktop converter has a height of 5.9 to 19.6 inches. Overall a stable range (13 inches in total) and I didn’t have any trouble with using the riser in my sitting position. Crucially, my monitor has a height-adjustable stand, which helped me position it so that my eyes always hit the top of the screen, which is probably something to consider.
The gas height adjustment rod is located on the right and allows the table to move up and down. Even if you pull it, the entire riser won’t crash – you need to apply a little pressure on the table to slide. There wasn’t much swaying in the whole thing.

This is a black laminated tabletop and a black metal base, all of which are good but a little boring, especially if you look pretty. There is a groove on the desktop that routes several cables to charge the device. Staples include some wired organizers in the box so you can route neatly.
FlexFit does the job – spread it on a surface, and you can use a workstation while standing or sitting. Remember, you shouldn’t be sitting all day, but you shouldn’t be standing all the time either. Mix it and take a lot of rest if you can.
There isn’t much way to do other features – it would be great if the staple has a monitor arm mount paired with this riser to save some space. You can find cheaper converters from cheaper converters like Flexispot, although I think FlexFit looks better. Still, the Desk Riser from Branch isn’t too far away and it’s aesthetically killing it. However, Staples has a better 5-year warranty. If you want to try it before submitting, the return window is 14 days after receipt.
