The Goldtouch EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro from Key Ovation can be used to convert almost any standard fixed-height desk into a true sit-stand desk. The EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro offers 40 primary height increments, with the upper work surface being able to adjust from 5" to 20" above the mounting surface. However, unlike most freestanding desktop retrofit solutions, the EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro is also equipped with an articulating keyboard tray that can be positioned anywhere between 3" and 8.5" below the height of the adjustable worksurface. This means that the available keyboard height range is up to 4.5" below and 2" above that of most other similar products, making it able to meet the needs of a much broader range of users. The actual keyboard tray range is from 3.5" below to 17" above the mounting surface, a full 20.5" of keyboard height adjustment.
The EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro also has a second feature not commonly available in similar products - adjustable lifting force. Dual front-mounted dials enable users to adjust the lifting capacity to provide up to 27 lbs of upward force, reducing the effort required when moving to a standing position. As the weight of peripherals or documents change the counterforce can be adjusted accordingly.
The 35" wide x 24" deep upper worksurface offers plenty of space for documents and the 26" wide x 10" deep keyboard tray will accommodate most standard keyboard and mouse combinations. An optional palm rest that attaches magnetically is available but that does reduce the available tray depth to just 8.5". Monitors can be placed either directly on the work surface or optional single or dual monitor arms may be mounted to offer a greater range of elevation and/or adjustment.
Note: While the EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro is designed to support up to 77 lbs pounds (66 on the main unit, and 11 on the keyboard tray), the maximum counterforce is 27 lbs. This means that the user does have to exert more upward force as more weight is added.
Reduces the Risks Associated with Extended Sitting - Studies have shown that sitting (and even standing) for prolonged periods of time is a risk factor for health. For those who work at stationary workstations, a desk that gives the user the option to sit and stand throughout the day will help break up those prolonged periods of unhealthy stationary work. The EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro allows the user to adjust the height of the workstation to accommodate both sitting and standing positions whenever desired.
Effortless Height Adjustment - The EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro offers 40 worksurface height settings ranging from 5" - 20" above the mounting surface. The Adjustable Tension feature lets users fine tune the lifting force to minimize the effort required when moving from sitting to standing. The large number of height settings (40) enables users to precisely adjust the height of the worksurface to the optimal height for the desired workstation configuration (sitting, standing, or anything in-between).
Independent Keyboard Height Adjustment - The articulating keyboard feature allows the keyboard tray to be positioned from 3" to 8.5" below any given worksurface height. Negative and positive tray angle adjustment also lets users minimize or eliminate wrist extension. Lean more about Wrist Extension.
Reduces the Risks Associated with Overreaching - The EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro features a large 35" x 24" working area with plenty of real estate for up to two monitors and other office devices such as calculators, phones, and tablets. Learn More About the Comfort Zone.
Articulating Pull-Out Keyboard Tray: The Keyboard Tray on the EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro can be stored into the unit or drawn out towards the user. This allows for customizing of viewing distance from the monitor(s) as well as optimizing space in tight workspaces. The articulation permits users to position the tray from 3" to 8.5" below any given worksurface height setting.
Tilting Keyboard Tray: The EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro keyboard tray can be adjusted up to 15° for either negative or positive inclination.
40 Height-Adjustment Settings: The EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro has an impressive 40 height settings. When combined with the 5.5" adjustment range of the articulating keyboard tray, the EasyLift offers an exceptional range that provides most users with the optimum keyboard heights suitable for sitting, standing or leaning.
Free Standing (No Drilling or Clamping): The EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro is ideal for situations where drilling into the desk or clamping onto its edge are undesirable. The footprint of the base allows the unit to be positioned on a desk top without creating a tipping hazard. Pads underneath the base prevent scuffing or scratching of the desktop.
Minimal Assembly: The EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro requires minimal assembly. The primary unit lifts directly from the box onto the desk surface. Installation of the articulating keyboard arm and tray takes approximately 15 minutes using the included tools.
Multiple Monitor Mounting Options: The 35" wide worksurface provides enough space to support two average size monitors (with stands attached). Left, Right and Centre thru-mount options are included for attachment of monitor arms.
Note: The weight of additional mounting solutions should be taken into consideration when determining the overall weight load being placed upon the EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro.
Adjustable Lifting Tension: The EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro features dual front-mounted tension controls that enable users to set the lifting tension to best match the weight load placed on their EasyLift.
X-Style Vertical Motion: Many retrofit desktop units have a cantilevering mechanism that moves the worksurface forward as it is raised. This motion pushes the user back from the desk and reduces the stability of the unit as it rises. The EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro uses an X-Style mechanism which moves the worksurface straight up vertically, preventing the issues above from occurring.

Primary Unit: No assembly required - lifts directly from box to desk surface.
Installation of Articulating Keyboard Tray and Cable Management: 5-10 minutes
To raise or lower the Goldtouch EasyLift Sit/Stand Desk Pro, simultaneously squeeze the release paddles on both sides. With the paddles squeezed, raise or lower the work surface to the desired height and then release the paddles to engage the locking mechanism. The unit will then lock into place at the next highest position.
Use the Tension Control Dials to customize the lifting capacity to best match the load in place on the EasyLift surface. Leaving the tension set too high will require extra effort when lowering and if the tension is set too low you will need to "lift" the surface when moving to standing, rather than employing the springs to do the lifting for you.
Utilize the range and adjustment of the articulating keyboard arm to position your keyboard and monitors at a height that best meets your needs.
Move between standing and sitting on a regular basis. If you are just starting out with a sit-stand desk, maintain yourself in the standing position for brief intervals - don't try to stand for extended periods until your body has adjusted and become comfortable.
If you find standing tiring, consider purchasing a quality anti-fatigue mat which can significantly increase your comfort by enabling your feet and legs to shift slightly while you work.
Consider a "leaning" style of seat rather than going back to the standard office chair. Using a seat such as this can ease the load on the feet and legs while still providing most of the benefits of the fully upright standing posture.
Ensure that your monitors are positioned at an appropriate height. A good guideline is to keep the top edge of the monitor equal to or slightly higher than your eye height. This will encourage an upright posture which keeps the head properly balance and supported by the spine.
