Desk Riser

Tough to lift!

I really want to love this desk riser because there’s so much about it that I genuinely like. The biggest issue for me, though, is how difficult it is to raise. Lowering it is completely smooth and easy, but every single time I want to raise it, I have to physically pull the desk upward, which is a struggle. Since I planned to switch between sitting and standing at least once a day, this has become pretty frustrating. At first, I thought maybe it was just me, so I checked the total weight of everything on the riser — monitor, laptop, keyboard, and a small lamp — and together they weigh under 16 pounds, which is well below the riser’s stated capacity. I even had my husband try it, and he struggled with it too, and he’s built like a football player! So unfortunately, it definitely seems to be an issue with the lifting mechanism rather than user error. That said, I absolutely love the design. One of the main reasons I chose this riser was because it’s one continuous surface. My previous desk riser had a lower keyboard tray, and no matter how I adjusted it, I could never get comfortable. This one feels much cleaner, more functional, and honestly looks like a wonderful piece of office furniture. I’m still hoping the lifting mechanism loosens up and becomes easier to use over time, because aside from that major issue, this desk riser would have been exactly what I was looking for.

Love the Desk Riser

I bought this for my wife as an experiment. She was sitting at her desk for obscenely long periods of time, which was giving her all kinds of aches and pains. I thought maybe a standing desk would help. At the same time, I was skeptical this would work for her--but the Desk Riser has been perfect. It sits on her desk when she's sitting in her chair. And when she feels the need to get some blood flowing--she uses the Desk Riser. It's so effective, I've been thinking about buying one for myself!

Great product and solution. Nice color. Can be a bit smoother

Branch ordering experience was great. Delivery was prompt and timely. Communication was great every step. Product meet the expectations and color options was great. Only watch out is it’s not smooth rise. There is a bit of friction esp going up. Hope as it get used will become smoother. Otherwise, love the product and live Branch experience
