Column-Style Standing Desk Converters

Column-Style Standing Desk Converters (sometimes referred to as "post & base" converters) offer the best ergonomics of the standing desk converter family.  Compared to a desk riser they offer a greater range of adjustment, typically allow you to adjust the monitor height independent of the keyboard tray, and they come in a sleeker design that takes up less space on your desk.  

Column-style converters are also one of the few styles that support three or four monitor setups.

Pros: Advanced ergonomics, saves space, looks nice, supports taller users

Cons: Expensive, some assembly required

Corner Standing Desk Converters

Corner standing desk converters are specifically designed to make use of the dead space in the corner of your cubicle, or in the joint of your L-shaped desk, leaving the rest of your desk available for meetings, documents, and all the other things you need.  Whereas a traditional standing desk converter can sometimes "overpower" your desk space, corner standing desk converters fit well, and keep more of your work within arms reach.

If you have any shelves or cabinets above the corner of your desk, just be aware that those may impede your converter, so please be sure to do some measuring just to be safe.

Note: if you use 3 or 4 monitors, most Column-Style desk converters will also fit in the corner, as well.

Pros: Space conscious, fit perfectly in the corner of your desk

Cons: Only fit in a corner
 

Compact Standing Desk Converters

Compact standing desk converters are designed to fit in tight spaces.  So if your current desk surface is a bit smaller than normal, then you're going to want to choose from this collection.

It's important that you pay particular attention to the depth of your desk.  If your desk is less than 24" deep, than many stand up desk converters will not fit.  You'll want to explore the options in this category, and pay particular attention to the dimensions at the bottom of the product page, to make sure they will fit in your space.

Just a few places where a compact standing desk converter can be a great fit: reception desks, counter tops, desk returns, small cubicles, etc.

Pros: Fit in tight spaces

Cons: Less work space, smaller adjustment range
