      OK no approval yet on a converting desk, but do have approval to get an adjustable monitor stand for someone.

        Before I got th emonitor shelf I currently have On my desk, I used the D& 4th edition books for a similar purpose. Was the only good use those books ever had.

        I assume you're a 5E fan? ^_^

              huh - so that single connection point to the desk feels sturdy enough with 3 monitors hanging off it?

                Yup it is VERY sturdy! It has 2 motors and raise and lower it and can hold 300#

                  We have about 5 people here that use the varidesk thigns. They are quite nice. At my old job we had some users who had motorized desks, the entire thing would raise and lower at the touch of a switch. Quite expensive to install. But they were a kit so would work with just about any of the cube style desks that are built in sections.

                      The monitor stand is built for 3 27" monitors and is plenty stable on it's own. I have had it for almost 2 years now I think.

                        OK Gene, I think you have the winner.

                        http://www.varidesk.com/product/standing-desk-pro-plus-36

                        And $400, not bad.

                        I like it too! Not sure if they have world wide shipping, here in Dubai we just have one decent one from IKEA but that the whole table.

                        Or may be i can get it when am there! 🙂

                              Wow, only $65? Hmmm... I don't know that I can get this and then convince my wife that it looks dumb without another monitor on it, so obviously I'd need another monitor.

                                      I deployed a few of these, and the model that came before. They are under $500. They can hold 2 24" monitors if they have a narrow bezel. They worked well because the client had very heavy CAD rigs on the desk and just needed the monitors/keyboard/mouse to go up and down.

                                        I'm not sure if there is just that much more metal in these types of mounts, which makes the price so high, but these types of rigs always seem to be about the most expensive.

                                        And personally I really dislike the complete lack of additional workspace while standing. Now you have to stoop over to have a surface to write one, etc.

                                          @Dashrender I think it's the fact that they have so much more hardware to them. They have adjustable springs in them to balance the load they are carrying and they pivot and move up and down.

                                          It's kind of like the difference between those cheap keyboard trays that just slide back and fourth and go off track all the time, vs the nice ones that slide and swivel and don't fall apart if your chair bumps them.

                                          I would probably spend the money on the entire desk moving up and down, but if you are in a cube farm (that's where this was installed) you may not have that option.

                                            Actually cube farms are easiest (generally) for a whole desktop replacement, remote the long desk panel and replace it wholesale with the electric desk - see @Minion-Queen new desk.

                                            Sadly, that's not my situation. in my office we mostly have custom furniture with built in desks.

                                            Thanks for the explanation.
