A desk converter sits on an existing desk and lifts the screen and keyboard to standing height. For a business it can be a cheaper way to offer sit-stand working without replacing desks, but it needs to suit the desk underneath and the screens on top.
The converters above come from UK supplier feeds with live prices, and include gas-spring risers, motorised units and mobile stands.

Sit-stand workstations transform your sedentary desk into a dynamic sit-stand workstation. Sit-stand desk converter with gas spring height adjustment. Spacious top platform holds two monitors or a laptop, the bottom platform fits a keyboard and mouse.
Under the DSE Regulations Schedule, the keyboard must be separate from the screen and tiltable, with enough space in front of it to support the hands and arms. A converter with a separate keyboard tray makes it easier to keep the keyboard just below elbow height, as HSE's posture guidance recommends, while the screen stays higher.
Measure the desk before you order. A converter needs space behind it to move, and a heavy unit on a light desk can make the whole set-up less stable. If you plan to clamp a monitor arm to the converter or desk, check the desk edge and material can take a clamp.
The DSE Regulations also require a work surface large enough for a flexible arrangement of screen, keyboard and documents. A converter that takes most of the desk can leave too little room for paperwork.
Converters are a quick win for staff who ask to stand, but each new set-up still counts as a change to the workstation. HSE says a fresh assessment is needed when a workstation changes, and users should be trained to use their equipment.
On our shortlist, the Neomounts DS90-325BL1 Sit-stand workstation desk 17-32" - gas spring is the best overall pick at £171.99 from Back to the Office. For a tighter budget, the Leitz Ergo Cosy Standing Desk Converter with sliding tray (£200.99) is our best-value choice.
Most of the 41 UK listings we screened sit between £147 and £260, with a middle price of £208. Trade suppliers often show prices before VAT, so add 20% if you can't reclaim it.
A VAT-registered business can usually reclaim the VAT on equipment bought for business use, as long as it holds a valid VAT invoice from the supplier. Ask the seller for one at checkout.
The picks here come from Back to the Office, UK Office Direct Limited. Most UK trade suppliers offer next-day delivery and VAT invoices; some offer credit accounts for regular orders.
It can give the same sit-stand option for less money, but it takes up desk space and has a lower load limit than most full desks. It suits single-screen or light dual-screen set-ups best.
Some will. Check the rated load and top width against the combined weight and width of both screens and any arms.
HSE says a new workstation assessment is needed when a change is made to an existing workstation or the way it is used.
Not always. Check the desk depth, the space behind it and whether the desk is sturdy enough for the converter and screens.
