Honestly, I didn’t know about desktop converters until I tested one last year.
People who work at home and in the office have one thing in common. They suffer from back pain or other pain caused by sitting too long. And I belong to that population.
I like my ergonomic chair, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that nothing compares to what happens when you stand up and stretch after sitting for so long. And since I suffer from back pain, getting up and stretching does wonder for my back.IVO Stand Up Height Adjustable 32-inch Des
The standing desk converters are excellent because they make it easy to work on my computer while standing, and I can also sit down when I need to! Here are some of the best laptop and monitor desktop converters you might want to check out.
RIF6 Adjustable Height Standing Desk Converter
Its multiple height adjustments, from 3 to 19 inches, allow you to find your ideal size. The clever X-frame will enable you to easily switch from standing to sitting or from one height difference to another, thanks to the high-quality pneumatic gas lift.

It can support up to 33 pounds of weight.
With its dedicated keyboard tray, you don’t have to worry about how cramped your space is. It’s also spacious, even big enough for your keyboard and mouse. It can support up to 4.4 pounds of weight and helps align and relax forearms, wrists, neck, and shoulders.

Pros of free-standing convertible offices
You and I know that sitting for long hours is not suitable for our health.
Reduces back pain
Our bodies are not created to stay in the same position for extended periods unless, of course, we are training for the army. Sitting for long hours can cause back pain. And even if we use ergonomic chairs, it may be unavoidable that we may unconsciously have hunches at one time or another.
The compression of the spine that occurs when we sit for so long causes compression, especially in the lower back, which then causes back pain. The same applies to neck pain. Standing helps to reduce compression and stress.
Helps to mobilize joints and muscles
Getting up and sitting down mobilizes our muscles and joints, helps relieve pressure, and reduces the risk of pain.
Improves productivity and concentration
According to studies, it has been proven that working on your computer while standing up increases productivity by 40%. At the same time, concentration on a certain task or multiples of it also increases.
Improves mood
Some, if not most, people fear the idea of having to work long hours. These alone causes stress to the mind. And sitting for long hours causes stress to the body.
Reducing the risk of getting sick
Being sedentary for too long does not help the body. Our body is made to move and rest, not to rest and relax. Inactivity can cause cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other conditions.
Conclusion
Desktop converters are genuinely phenomenal products. They have changed the desktop game for good. I thought that when you’re no longer satisfied with your desktop, you buy another one.
Now that I’ve discovered them, I can say that I’ve lived under a rock. Now I don’t have to suffer sitting for long hours anymore!
But the only problem is that you now have a small office. Your basic desk must have enough surface area and durability to hold it and your computer or laptop. You can buy a standing desk converter if these two things are checked.
