Vivo standing desk converter review - A flexible, piston-driven option - Android

With a global pandemic shuttering many offices buildings, multitudes of people have suddenly found themselves working from home. Not everyone has a house or apartment setup for spending hours on a laptop or desktop. Moreover, not everyone has a work-from-home setup that’s ergonomically correct. A standing desk can help keep your health and work in line at the same time.

We’ve taken a handful of standing desks for a spin, including the Vivo V000K standing desk converter. How does it hold up? Find out in the Android Authority review.

Vivo standing desk converter review: Who is this desk for?

Standing desks, in general, are for those who are conscious about their health. Research has told us that spending all day in a chair is detrimental to our health. Standing for at least a portion of the day is one way to ensure a healthier you. This logic is reason enough for anyone to get a standing desk, but what about the Vivo V000K standing desk in particular?

The V000K is a riser, also known as a standing desk converter. It goes on a regular, existing desktop and can rise to elevate the workstation to standing height. It’s a more flexible option than a true standing desk. It’s for people who already have a desk or solid work station that they want to augment.

10 best standing desk options

The V000K is a way to get a standing desk without the commitment to an entire piece of furniture. You get the benefit and flexibility of a standing desk at a lower cost and smaller footprint.

Four screws, four feet: Assembly is a breeze

Assembling the V000K could not have been simpler. I was worried a million parts would spill out of the box when opened. Color me surprised when I pulled the V000K out of the box almost fully assembled.

Only one major component needs to be installed, and that’s the keyboard tray. It involves some pins and some screws. Drop the pins in the pre-drilled holes, place the keyboard tray on the supports, and screw the tray down. You’ll also have to attach four rubber feet into the corners of the bottom support. It took less than 10 minutes to unbox and assemble the Vivo V000K.

Anyone who has any skill level at all with a screwdriver can put this standing desk together. It’s not too heavy, either, which means most people can lug it around.
