Desk riser assembled, positioned and adjusted to your height for comfortable standing work. Cables managed so nothing gets caught when you adjust height - stand or sit whenever you want.
Standing Desks Without The Standing Desk Price
Spending £500+ on a motorised standing desk? A desk riser does the same job for £100-200 and sits on your existing desk. Same benefits, fraction of the cost, and I'll get it set up properly so you actually use it.
💡 Pro tip: Don't stand all day. Alternate between sitting and standing every hour or so. The benefits come from movement, not from standing yourself into oblivion.
Why Professional Setup Matters
Desk risers seem simple until you actually try to use one:
| ✅ Properly Set Up | ❌ DIY Attempt |
|---|---|
| Height adjusted for your body | Too high/low, neck pain ensues |
| Stable when typing | Wobbles with every keystroke |
| Cables have slack to move | Get yanked when you adjust height |
| Smooth mechanism, no catching | Stiff, jerky, eventually breaks |

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Full office setup?** Get your riser sorted alongside desk assembly, monitor mounting, and cable management - everything done in one visit. **First time standing desk user?** Start with 20-30 minutes standing, then sit for a bit. Work up gradually. Going straight to 4 hours standing will just hurt. **Wobbly desk?** A riser makes any wobble worse. If your desk's already unstable, I'll need to secure it properly first or the whole lot will shake when you type.
Frequently Asked Questions about Desk riser setup in Teignmouth
What's a desk riser and why would I want one?
It's a platform that sits on your normal desk and raises up so you can work standing. Cheaper than buying a whole standing desk, and lets you switch between sitting and standing throughout the day. Good for back pain, circulation, and not feeling like a sack of spuds by 3pm.
Do you just assemble it or actually set it to the right height?
I'll assemble it, position it on your desk, and adjust it to your height so your screen's at eye level and your elbows are at 90 degrees when typing. Most people get the ergonomics wrong - screen too low, keyboard too high - so I'll get it right.
Can you manage the cables so they don't get caught when I adjust it?
Yes - that's the annoying bit people don't think about. I'll route your monitor and keyboard cables so they've got enough slack to move up and down without pulling, but not so much they're trailing everywhere. Cable clips and ties sorted.
Will it fit on my desk?
Most desk risers need about 60-80cm of desk width and 40cm depth. If your desk's smaller or you've got shelves above, it might not work. Send me a photo and the riser model number - I'll tell you if it'll fit.
How long does setup take?
Assembly and positioning usually takes 30-45 minutes. If I'm also mounting your monitor or sorting proper cable management, allow an hour.
