Sit-Stand Workstations

A sit-stand workstation sits on top of your existing desk and raises the screen and keyboard so you can stand to work without replacing the desk itself. It is the lower-commitment way into standing. For a desk that raises as one piece, see standing desks, or read the guide below.

What is a sit-stand workstation?

It is a riser that sits on top of your existing desk and lifts the screen and keyboard to standing height when you want, then lowers back to sit. It lets you alternate sitting and standing without replacing your desk.

Is a desktop riser better than a full standing desk?

A riser is cheaper and needs no installation, so it suits a quick upgrade or a desk you cannot replace. A full electric standing desk raises the whole surface as one piece, which is tidier and better if you have a lot on the desk. Choose based on budget and how much you keep on the desktop.

Will it hold my monitors?

Each riser has a weight rating, so check it covers your monitor or dual-monitor setup. An overloaded riser is harder to raise and may not hold position, so confirm the rating before buying.

Does it have a separate keyboard tray?

Most sit-stand risers have a separate lower tier for the keyboard and mouse, so your wrists and screen end up at the right relative heights. This is important for comfortable standing work, so check for it.

How does the platform raise and lower?

Better risers use a smooth gas-assisted or spring lift you raise with a squeeze of two handles, while simpler ones are manual. A gas-assisted lift is easier to adjust through the day, especially with monitors loaded.

What warranty applies, and can I get business pricing?

All our workstations carry a warranty that varies by product, with individual buyers covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act. We offer bulk pricing and Business Pass discounts plus credit terms, with Afterpay and Zip available and free delivery on orders over $30.

Stand at the desk you already have

A sit-stand workstation is a riser that sits on your current desk and lifts the screen and keyboard up to standing height when you want it, then lowers back down to sit. It lets you get the benefits of alternating between sitting and standing without buying a whole new height-adjustable desk, which makes it the easy, lower-cost first step.

When choosing, look at how the platform raises, a smooth gas-assisted lift is easier than a manual one, and check it has a separate keyboard tier so your wrists and screen sit at the right heights. Confirm it holds the weight of your monitors, and that there is room on your desk for its footprint when lowered.
