Due to our fast processing times, it might not be possible for us to cancel your order. For the best chance of canceling your order, reach out to us by phone (not email or chat) as soon as possible after creating the order. If you weren't able to talk with a representative in time to cancel the order, you can refuse delivery from the FedEx driver (please call to inform us), or you can contact us for a return after delivery.

We stand behind our 30-Day No-Risk Guarantee. If you purchased a product directly from Vari, you have 30 days from the delivery date to try it out. If you don't love it, we'll pay to pick it up so you can return it.
In order to return product, we ask that you repackage the returning product in Vari® packaging. If you disposed of the original packaging, we'll send out an empty box, free of charge. If you're getting a replacement product, we may ask that you wait for the replacement product to arrive and use that packaging to return the original item. Orders installed by Vari or an authorized third party are subject to a restocking fee of 10% of the value of the returned product for products that are returned, exchanged, or are unable to be installed.
Vari Products and Processes
We get a lot of questions about our desks, accessories, and more. This resource will help you learn everything you need to know about our products, company, and processes, organized conveniently into categories.
The easiest place to find specific product dimensions is on the product page and in our product spec sheets.
DesktopIt’s normal for the edge of the keyboard tray of the desktop converter to overhang the front of the desk a little when in the fully-collapsed position. For example, the VariDesk® Pro Plus™ 36 has a posture curve (the curved indentation at the front of the keyboard tray), which should be aligned with the edge of the desk when fully lowered. The slight wings of the bottom tier will therefore overhang a few inches off the front of the desk. Please note that it’s important that the feet/base of all desktop converters are always supported by the desk.
Please note that no matter your desk shape, your desk should support the legs and base of any desktop converter at all times. For any questions, please call our Customer Experience team at 020 3808 5398.
If you can't decide which desktop or full desk product is right for you, try our Quick Fit Finder! It’ll quiz you on your particular setup and needs and will provide you with our best solution for your scenario.
Our monitor arms are made specifically to fit VariDesk® products. However, the 1 3/8" (3.5 cm) clamp means that it should theoretically fit on any desk with a desktop width equal to or less than 1 3/8” (3.5 cm).
Two MonitorsFor those with two monitors (with or without a laptop), consider any of our desktop converters 36” (91.5 cm) wide or wider (the VariDesk® Pro Plus™ 36 is our bestseller and works great for two 24” (61 cm) monitors.)
The numbers in the product names mostly refer to their size in inches.
For example, the VariDesk® Pro Plus™ 36 is 36 inches (91.5 cm) wide.
Height matters when it comes to finding your perfect standing-desk solution.
For Taller UsersWe typically classify people who are 1.9 m or taller as a “taller” user. These taller users may find that the VariDesk® Tall 40 is a great fit for a desktop converter.
We produce our furniture using high-quality, contract-grade materials, detailed below. Learn more about our dedication to quality.
MDF
We use only the highest-quality medium-density fiberboard (MDF), which is built tough and strong for many years of use.
Laminate
All our desks and desktop converters are made with top-grade, heavy-duty laminate. Its luxe surface texture makes it resistant to scratching.The Reclaimed Wood finish has a slightly more pronounced texture than the others, in keeping with its more natural, wood-look character.
Molded Plywood
We use molded plywood in our Active Seat. Its graceful curve provides a natural, smooth surface.
Polyurethane
Our mats are made with highly-durable polyurethane. They're especially designed to provide long-lasting comfort as you stand while working. To lengthen the lifetime of your mat, we suggest you don't use a chair over them.
We're committed to quality. Where applicable, our products are made to the highest standard, qualifying for the industry's leading product certifications. Learn more about our many product certifications.
UL BIFMA
Many of our products have achieved UL BIFMA Performance Certification.
GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD Gold
We're very proud to have many products that carry GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD Gold certifications.
How to Use Our Products
We are constantly innovating and creating new technologies or combining thought-leadership across industries. Learn about some of the basic principles that make your Vari product work.
Your VariDesk® converter seamlessly clicks into multiple height positions by squeezing the two handles and either pulling up to raise it up and out or pushing down and back to lower. This allows you to easily adjust your VariDesk converter to your specific height setting.
We designed our patented rowing-lift for optimal posture, so you can lift up and back and leverage the strength in your lower body. While raising or lowering your desk, we suggest you bend from the waist and maintain a straight back. Our spring-assist will help you out.
For those lighter products, we used a straight up-and-down lift to keep a small footprint. We kept the product weight and weight limit light to keep the pressure off your back.
You won't have to readjust your things when you completely lower your VariDesk® converter to sit. Please note that when using a desktop converter, when completely lowered, the bottom tier will be about 1.9 cm above the surface of your desk—consider how this may affect your sitting posture.
Almost all writing and computer desks are compatible with VariDesk converters. However, our desktop converters are not meant for glass-top desks. Always check the weight limit of your existing desk to make sure it can hold the VariDesk converter and all personal items.
