VersaDesk UltraLite – Electric Height-Adjustable Standing Desktop Riser

If you’re like most office workers, you probably spend a lot of time sitting at your desk, especially if you’re working from home. The problem is that sitting in the same position for extended periods of time can cause the muscles in your neck and back to become fatigued, which can lead to strain, pain, and injuries, which can seriously harm your posture, cause you stress, and even decrease your productivity in the long run. Therefore, it’s important that you create a workspace that’s both comfortable and also functional. One of the best gadgets that you can get for your workspace to achieve that would be an electric desktop riser (also called desktop converters). Essentially, these devices let you raise your laptop’s screen or your PC monitor(s) up to a more comfortable height whenever you want to stand, meaning you can conveniently change from a sitting to a standing working position (and vise-versa) whenever you want instead of having to remain sitting for a long period of time, thus ultimately allowing you to avoid posture-related injuries. So, if you’re looking for an electric desktop riser that’s versatile and easy to operate, then check out the VersaDesk UltraLite.

The VersaDesk UltraLite is an electric height-adjustable desktop riser which seamlessly converts your desk’s workspace from a typical sitting desk to a fully functional standing desk. It comes equipped with a powder-coated steel frame which features a 36″ by 24″ work surface area that can support up to 40 lbs., a true ergonomic design that helps to relief and prevent pain in your neck, back, and shoulders when using it to work at your PC or laptop, and a powerful electric actuator motor which has a whisper-quiet operation and allows you to perform height adjustments up to 20 inches high. It also integrates easy-to-use push button controls that let you effortlessly perform height adjustments for raising or lowering its work area whenever you respectively want to work standing or sitting, a child-proof safety lock that keeps it at the height you’ve set and also prevents kids from operating the unit, plus a built-in USB charging port for recharging your personal devices.

By using this electric height-adjustable desktop riser, you can easily change between a sitting and a standing position as you please while working at your desk with your PC or laptop throughout the day, all without having to interrupt your work just to relief your posture.

Now, let’s have a slightly more detailed look at the VersaDesk UltraLite, check out how this electric height-adjustable desktop riser is designed to work, and see everything that it has to offer you.

DESIGN & SPECS

Starting with the unit’s size, this electric desktop riser comes at a somewhat compact, yet still wide enough size to provide you with a large working space, measuring 36 inches long by 24 inches wide (when installed with its detachable keyboard tray) by 5 inches tall (when fully lowered), or 25 inches tall (when fully raised).

Its work surface consists of a top-side shelf measuring 36 inches long by 16 inches wide, along with a slightly smaller detachable keyboard tray that measures 24 inches long by 8 inches wide, which together provide you with a large work surface area measuring 36 inches long by 24 inches wide in total.

The VersaDesk UltraLite also sports a gorgeous contemporary and ultra-minimalist design, which gives it a modern, very discreet, and very professional look, allowing it to seamlessly blend in with the rest of your workspace, whether that’s at your company’s office or even in your home office.

Moreover, the entire unit also packs a high-quality and extremely durable construction. Its scissor lift frame is built of heavy-duty powder-coated carbon steel, making it capable of holding up to 40 lbs. of weight, while also coming equipped with felt pads at its base to protect your desk’s top-side from getting scratched or dented. Its work surface area is built of professional-grade laminated wood. (Alternatively, there are 2 color models that have its work surface area built from natural bamboo, if you’d prefer).

It’s also worth noting that this electric desktop riser is also designed with a user’s comfort and posture in mind, as it features a true ergonomic design that helps to relief and prevent pain in your neck, back, and shoulders when using it to work at your PC or laptop.

This is achieved by splitting its work surface area into two separate height levels (the top-side shelf for holding PC monitors, and the detachable keyboard tray below it for holding a laptop or your PC’s keyboard and mouse), which not only enhances your comfort, but also the VersaDesk UltraLite’s ergonomics.

Thanks to that, you’re able to have your work devices set up at the best height and viewing angle possible so that you can achieve the working position and posture that’s most comfortable for you, in which you’ll be able to maintain a neutral body position whether you’re sitting or standing, where you’re hands, wrists, and forearms can be straight and roughly parallel to the floor.

Lastly, for performing its height adjustments, the VersaDesk UltraLite comes equipped with a built-in powerful electric actuator motor (integrated onto its base) which is powered by VersaDesk’s patented linear actuator technology and has a whisper-quiet operation, allowing you to perform height adjustments up to 20 inches high while supporting up to 40 lbs. of weight.

For its power source, since this is an electric desktop riser, the unit is connected directly to power via its dedicated power adapter and its power cable.

SET UP / INSTALLATION

When it comes to the unit’s installation, know that VersaDesk UltraLite also offers you a quick and straightforward setup process, which should take you no more than 5 minutes.

All you have to do is unpack and assemble the main unit, and then install its detachable keyboard tray at its bottom level.

Once that’s done, simply connect it to power and you can start using it.

We’d also like to mention that the UltraLite’s work surface area also comes with 3 pre-drilled grommet holes, so you can easily mount monitor arms onto it if you wish to do so without having to drill those holes yourself.

INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL

For controlling the unit’s operation, the VersaDesk UltraLite comes equipped with built-in push button controls (located at the bottom-right edge of its top-side shelf) which let you effortlessly perform height adjustments for raising or lowering its work area whenever you respectively want to work standing or sitting.

Integrated at the left and right sides of its control panel, you respectively have an Up button (for raising its height) and a Down button (for lowering its height).

Between those buttons there’s a child-proof safety lock (accessible either with a small pin or a pen tip) that allows you to lock the unit’s operation in order to keep it at the height you currently have it set at while also preventing children from operating it.

At the top-side of its control panel, there’s also a built-in USB charging port that you can use for recharging your personal devices whenever they’re low on battery.
