Ergodriven Spark Children’s Standing Desk | Cardboard Sit Stand Converter - Desktop Riser - Standing Desk for Kids

The price of this product was what caught my eye first. It is incredibly affordable and I found it very easy to assemble with the instructional video. I am 5'2" and ordered the size small, but I am wondering if I should have gotten the medium. I ended up having to raise up the whole apparatus with some paper reams to get the right height for my keyboard. That being said, this has been the single best $25 I have ever spent. I suffer from chronic back pain that is exacerbated by sitting, and shifting to a standing desk immediately made me feel better. I have been using it for three or four weeks now and I couldn't be happier. The cardboard is fairly sturdy and there is a nice little storage spot underneath for my phone and notebook. Everyone in my office is super envious. The desk has some exposed cardboard edges which do not look the most professional and can give you papercuts. If you are debating whether to get a standing desk, this is a really good one to see how much better it can feel, and if you want to buy something more sturdy or adjustable, you can do that.

Heed the advice to watch the step-by-step video instructions before beginning assembly. They are very well done and will allow you to avoid mistakes and save time putting your desk together. Total assembly time is less than 15 minutes. The desk weighs almost nothing so it's easily moveable. I learned to type on manual typewriters and Spark handles my ridiculous pounding of the keyboard well...not flimsy at all. What I like best is that it allows me to do my favorite kind of multi-tasking, as you can see in the photo - standing at the kitchen table eating breakfast while working from home!

This worked as an immediate fix to needing to stand to type and work on a computer without having the time to purchase a standing desk or play Tetris with my furniture yet. I was a little disappointed that the packaging arrived bent with a few pieces affected. Putting it together takes a little bit more elbow grease than a similar item from IKEA but easy if you've done a few of those before. I was, however, surprised that for $25 the company could not even provide smooth edges for some of the cardboard pieces. They were clearly perforated; while some edges were smooth, it looks like you just picked up boxes from the local recycling plant on some of the exposed TOP edges of this. Not the nicest looking setup; even IKEA items would be cheaply constructed but look more professional. Although the price is relatively inexpensive, I'd expect more for $25 for a few pieces of corrugated cardboard that weren't even shipped to keep the paper intact, and I wouldn't want people to see it because of the edges they couldn't be bothered to cut smooth. It's just a little bit insulting when you consider the cheapness of the materials being used that could look much better if they didn't look like a DIY project. That being said, it does support the minimal weight of laptop and keyboard well without feeling insecure. I don't think I'd put a LOT of stuff on it, but it works for the time being and like others have said should be a good way to test out standing.

This was cheap and easy to put together, but The sizing is off. Im 5’2” and ordered the small and its too small. My monitor sits too low in top and the keyboard is too low - my arms are not at right angles and my neck looks downward slightly - not ergonomic posture!

I purchased this is in 2017 and still use it! It has gone through 4 moves and is still sturdy. Wish it was till available so I could buy a second one!

This thing was super easy to put together. It is very sturdy and lightweight at the same time so easy to move if you go back and forth from standing to sitting as I do! It actually is not bad looking even though its cardboard, but to make it match the decor of my office I spray painted it chalk white and it looks great!

My bad for not taking all the pieces out of the box and examining them when I got it, but when I finally went to set this up, there were already places where slight tearing was showing (even though it had never been out of the box!) Wondering now if it's even worth it as it probably won't hold up very well if I'm starting out with some damage. Was looking forward to finally getting my office together and starting to use this (before buying a more expensive one)

So I was really pleased to see an inexpensive stand up desk option. I already have a desk and was questioning if I wanted a stand up desk. It's $20 - not pennies, but certainly no large investment when wanting to test drive stand up desk. The price tipped the scale from 3 stars to 4 stars. After reading numerous 5 star reviews I was expecting something a little more...stable. And based on 3 sizes, I thought the "fit" would be a little better. I chose small per guidelines because of my height but the keyboard height is actually rather low. I had to add a length of 2x6 to make it higher and that still is not putting my arms at 90 deg angle. It was relatively easy to put together but the TABS do not fit into the holes well - they are a touch too short. And that makes the top feel a bit unstable because it moves out of place a bit. It holds my 24" monitor just fine and the monitor weight actually keeps the top platform where it should be. I really dislike the downward slope of the keyboard. Maybe that's an ergonomic thing but I don't see that on any other stand up desks and to me it's a design issue - must be done this way to fold how it does. Its a cost effective way to start standing and be more aesthetically pleasing than shipping boxes or even the DIY Ikea hack. BUT for those saying "hmm, i want to try standing, is it for me?" I INSTANTLY knew I would like standing better so now I will save my pennies for a real standing desk.
