This is a sturdy, heavy desk top addition that seems to work smoothly. For a regular computer it is a great addition. For myself, however, using a work laptop with back extender for additional connections there was not enough space on the keyboard area. Suggest Fellowes make a version with gap and back shelf feature for this kind of use.

Our office first ordered 6 of these to try them out and see how they liked them. They RAVED about how easy they are. They are so easy to set up I set 5 out of the 6 up the first time plus the other 6 yesterday. They take 10 minutes to set up and that's getting things squared away on the desk as well! We just got 5 more yesterday and I absolutely LOVE mine. It helps with my lower back issues already just having it for less then 24 hours! I highly recommend these and I know everyone else in the office loves the ease of using them and how they break up the day with being able to stand more! Great design, easy to lift and super easy to set up! GREAT JOB!!!

What could be easier, pull it out of the box, set it on my desk, connect my screen and plug in my laptop! Now I am up and down and active all day long, my back has less fatigue and I feel strong at the end of a work day, not run down. Get one, your back and your productivity will thank you. When Fellowes makes a next generation they should think about expanding space on deck so a docking station for laptops will fit or make knotch that the docking station can fit into.

I bought the Lotus for a new position I was hired for in a school office. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I have been. I am at my desk and on my computer from 7am until 3:30. I stand 90% of that time. I have had lower back issues for years and sitting can cause pain and numbness. This has all but eliminated that problem! Being the first contact person in our office, my desk has become a topic of conversation and envy with the school staff. It is a nice looking unit but even better is how easy it is to lower and lift. I would recommend this product to anyone interested in standing more at work.

Overall, this product is easy to use and ready to go out of the box. It needs weight on it to test raising and lowering it, so if you are like me and tried to test it out before reading the directions and putting anything on it, it won't work. Once my monitor was on it, it was a smooth operator. The ability to easily shift from sitting to standing is wonderful! The only complaint I have about it is I use a laptop with a docking station and that will not fit on here. I originally had to move my docking station to the corner of my desk and use my auxiliary monitor and wireless keyboard only on here, which is inconvenient. I ended up using this in my secondary office where I only bring my laptop with me and there is no docking station.
