          @Ausergo: We love when reps work with us and do things like this but don't forget in the end this is now 5$ cheaper than we could get it before you posted, well worth the advertising and presumably, sales you have got.

          @dfaktz: Please consider the fact that the price of $280 people are able to obtain on eBay is through vouchers not associated with Ausergo. (ie. we still receive $299 for an eBay sale regardless of which vouchers you use to bring the price down). In beating that deal by $5 for Ozbargain customers we have had to lower our price by $24/unit. Once you factor in the wildly varying costs of providing free shipping there is not a lot of skin in the game.

          In the end, $5 cheaper than the cheapest price is still pretty cheap :)

      The Wynston sit stand desk is not the same product. It has half the warranty (5 years) and does not adjust straight up and down like the Deskalator. When you raise the Wynston it comes towards you.

      The Deskalator also has a greater adjustment range (150 to 500mm) over the Wynston (165 to 415mm)

      I was given an earlier model of the Wynston desk. I love it…except for it's height. I'm an average/short bloke, and I reckon I need a bit more height. So if I was in the market for a new desk, I'd buy one that goes 500mm high any day!

  • dealspider on 05/06/2017 - 13:16

    How does this compare against the equivalent Varidesk? We have those, however I find it wobbles a little too much for my liking when you put pressure on it.

    • AssociatedAusergo @ Ausergo on 05/06/2017 - 15:30

      This product was actually designed to address the main issues with the Varidesk, namely:

      *The Varidesk moves backward when raised, which can cause problems associated with over-reaching
      *When adjusting the Varidesk to standing height, you are required to lift the entire weight of unit yourself (including your monitors) whereas the Deskalator has a gas lift which attends to this function, taking the strain off your back.
      *The Deskalator is exceptionally sturdy and does not wobble when raised

      Not a bad product, but with an adjustment range 87-132cm this is technically an adjustable standing desk, not a sit to stand desk. ie. it has no sit function.

      • ATangk on 05/06/2017 - 19:15

        I wonder how low your current table is if you think 87cm isnt a normal table height…

        • AssociatedAusergo @ Ausergo on 05/06/2017 - 20:06
          +3

          Your average desk height is between 70-75cm. 87cm is around waist height for most people. Which would leave you with your forearms sloping upward if you were sitting. Very uncomfortable and not ergonomic in the least.

  • Danthemanz on 05/06/2017 - 16:28

    Im yet to find one of these that are ergonomic for a tall person.
    Usually, i end up with a sore neck from looking down at the keyboard because none of them go high enough.
    Im only 183CM (6') but to be properly ergonomic it needs to be higher.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/06/2017 - 16:48

      See my post immediately below for a possible adaptation.

      I used to have trouble looking at the keyboard as well, as i could never learn to type using a QWERTY keyboard layout given it's made for a machine, not man (Google is your friend).

      But then i decided to learn to type with a Dvorak keyboard layout, and it took me no time at all and i've been laughing ever since.

      I just received mine (Medium) at work today.
      I'm also 183cm tall, but I have no problems with it.
      I think it depends on the height of your desk and whether or not your monitor has a stand.

      So good, I ended up buying another one for home.

    Note the OP's outfit has quite a few other things that may interest folk.

    But back to the post - one problem you might encounter is that the vertical distance between the upper and lower platforms does not appear to be adjustable. This can be a major issue, especially if you're tall.

    To accommodate this, at least if you have a VESA mountable monitor, is to get a clamp-type monitor stand so that the first thing you set is the keyboard height, and only then adjust the monitor height via the stand.

    This is perhaps one of the most adaptable monitor stands around, that i've already mentioned in my much unappreciated poor man's adjustable desk opus.

    Of course if someone sold a monitor stand with a much longer pole, then you could simply attach it to your main desk, so that all the current item is actually doing for you is supporting your keyboard, and that's a lot to pay for a keyboard platform.

    No need to thank me - just send money.

      Pity this has been negged to oblivion as it continued as a sensible thread (big kudos to the OP for the initial response there), maybe the use of a sarcasm icon would have stopped the rabid ultraneggers…maybe. Gave a +ve, in the hope that perhaps others will follow.

      "The profit margin on these must be super, super, super high."….perhaps that applies to above entry level laptops as well.

      Getting back on track if the office item here is a non entry level item it could be that the same criteria applies to both the desk and medium and above laptops thus it is not overpriced as alleged initially.

      • cheepwun on 05/06/2017 - 21:07

        "The profit margin on these must be super, super, super high."….perhaps that applies to above entry level laptops as well.

        Not a chance. Which is why the manufacturers do so many deals with the software vendors to foist crap on you.

        Anyway, for laptop use, there are far cheaper alternatives all over ebay. For other uses, fine…sure, this may be for some people. Then again you could also build your own electrically controlled desk with linear actuators off ebay for less money, but that is a DIY job (but far more capable).

    What size is best?

    • AssociatedAusergo @ Ausergo on 05/06/2017 - 20:10

      That depends on how much desk space you have and how many monitors you are using. If you are using two or more monitors then go for the medium, otherwise the small should do the trick as ultimately all you really need to be raising is your monitor, keyboard and mouse.

      • bdl on 05/06/2017 - 20:27

        Awesome, OK, thanks. I have a 30 inch monitor but not sure if I'll be upgrading or adding to that in the future.

        • AssociatedAusergo @ Ausergo on 05/06/2017 - 20:28

          30 inches is a pretty decent sized monitor (basically a TV at that point), so in your case I'd definitely recommend the medium size.

  • havebeerbelywillsumo on 05/06/2017 - 20:19

    Just a comment…I work from home and have a six monitor setup so when the op says gas lift is a selling/safety point then I'd say, in my case, damn sure it would be…though I'm not sure whether the weight of my stand would overpower or rapidly wear out the gas lift (don't know what the weight is but it's a sturdy stand and allup, even with LCD's, it's damn heavy)

    • AssociatedAusergo @ Ausergo on 05/06/2017 - 20:27

      The weight capacity of both sizes is 15kg, so even if you could manage to fit them all on there (by way of a multiple monitor arm for example) then any load on the unit that is more than 15kg you would essentially be lifting yourself.

      So if an average monitor weight is around 7kg…7 x 6 = 42kg

      A monitor arm capable of holding 6 monitors would be at least 15kg, so in total you'd be lifting around 40kg of weight yourself. Not ideal from an ergonomic standpoint, you'd be better off getting a complete electric sit stand desk that can lift 100kg, such as the following:

  • sheepdog on 05/06/2017 - 22:01

    Hi folks, I figured I'd weigh into this as I own a Wynston standing desk from Officeworks and a Varidesk Pro Plus 48 (which I think is called a Cube Plus now). Both are similar but an important difference is the width of the keyboard tray - you want to make sure your keyboard tray is as wide as possible. The officeworks one is much more narrow (its also a narrow unit in general) and annoyingly, the tray doesn't flare out to the sides like the Varidesk. This means that you have to get used to having your keyboard and mouse in a more compact area. Regarding ease of use, the varidesk is easier to raise with 2 large monitors and a heavy laptop on it than the Officeworks one with just one monitor and a laptop. So much so that my wife complains she can't easily operate the Officeworks one without hurting her back.

    This one does look like its got a decent sized tray, but only if you get the medium. I wouldn't bother with the small size. I wonder if the gas lift is a better mechanism for lifting, I hope it is. I'm concerned with its rated 15kg weight limit. Even though you're not meant to, you'll find yourself leaning forward a bit when you're standing for an extended period, thus adding to the weight of the desk. Technically the Varidesk is rated the same, so its probably fine.

    Regarding the whole "lifting directly up" vs "lifting forward", I don't really mind lifting forward. It does mean that you'll need a bit more space behind you (not much more), but on the other hand, if it goes directly up, you would need probably want to have the standing desk hanging a bit off the table (forward) so that your legs don't touch the table when you're standing (usually when you slouch forward).

    If anyone has any questions, go nuts.

    • AssociatedAusergo @ Ausergo on 06/06/2017 - 10:13

      Thanks for sharing your insights sheepdog.

      The only thing I would add is that unless you have a complete electric sit/stand desk (full size tabletop) you should avoid leaning on your sit/stand desk (Varidesk, Wynston or Deskalator) at all times.

        I just watched the video and had I seen that (maybe it wasn't available) at the time, I'd have probably gotten it instead of my Wynston. It looks similar to this one advertised. The lift mechanism looks good but I really really like the very wide tray (again, same as this one advertised). And unless you can't fit it, always go the biggest available. Just keep in mind that any of these standing desks will make your home office look like a proper work station - thus, ugly as all hell when you have guests.

      You have to go through the normal checkout, not the PayPal one.

      • packeteer on 06/06/2017 - 09:09

        well that's a bit sh*t

          You can still pay with PayPal at the end.

          @Ausergo:
          All sorted out. Thanks!

    I wonder if I can place two 24" LCD screens on this. I'm happy for the screens to stick out on both sides of the desk a little bit. What do people think?

    • AssociatedAusergo @ Ausergo on 06/06/2017 - 10:18

      So long at the bases of your monitors when sat next to each other don't overhang the edge, and the monitors won't connect with anything when raising or lowering it will be fine.

      You could test by putting the monitors side by side on your current desk, and measuring the width between the outer edge of each base. So long as its less than 89cm then you're in the clear.

      • mstest on 06/06/2017 - 10:31

        The width is about 85cm so I guess it will fit?

        • AssociatedAusergo @ Ausergo on 06/06/2017 - 10:43

          Yes, with room to spare!

    bought one and they are unstable as hell.

    Read up

    • AssociatedAusergo @ Ausergo on 06/06/2017 - 10:28

      Hi guitarit,

      That's a concern as this has not been the case with the hundreds of units we have sold in the past 6 months. Please DM us your order number and we will investigate whether there could be a fault with your unit.

    • ozzyoi on 06/06/2017 - 10:34

      Was this the exact model?

      I am very eager to buy this. Please let me know

        This is the first time someone has raised concerns about the stability of the unit with us. Until their order number is provided we can't even confirm if the unit was purchased from Ausergo.

        If you purchase the product and find that it's not to your liking, we will gladly offer a full refund if returned with the original packaging in a resaleable condition within 14 days.

        • ozzyoi on 06/06/2017 - 12:55

          Cheers

    Thanks OP. Bought one medium white for missus at her office. She is really suffering with her sedentary job as a planner. So, hopefully this will turn things around for her to some extent. ;)

    • AssociatedAusergo @ Ausergo on 06/06/2017 - 11:04

      Thanks behzadm, we will dispatch ASAP! Hoping your wife feels better once she is able to alternate her working position.
