What's in a Name?
Why do product names have numbers in them? The numbers refer to work surface measurements. For example, the VariDeskĀ® Pro Plus 36ā¢ has a work surface thatās 36 inches wide, and the Standing Desk 48x32 is 48 inches wide and 32 inches deep.
Why are some products named āVariDeskā and others are āStanding Desksā? All VariDesk products are desktop converters, and Standing Desks are full-size desks.
Why do some products have āEssentialā in their name? Our Essentials Collection is designed to be budget-friendly for home use.

Measure Your Workspace
Whether you're doing a full remodel of your workspace or planning to fit a desktop converter into your current setup, this measurement guide will help you find the perfect model to fit your space. Keep in mind that desktop models are designed to hang slightly over the edge of your desk to make room for the posture curve.
How to Measure Your Current Desk
Measure the depth and width of your current workspace and consider any space limitations, like overhead cabinets or shelves, surrounding walls, or neighboring coworkers.
