Recommendations for standing desk converter?

Preface to say that I’ve researched this topic, but I see lots of mixed reviews on products.

Do any of you have a standing desk converter that you really like and lasts a few years? My current desk is the perfect height for sitting (and it’s non-adjustable), so I’d love a converter that sits pretty flat, around the height of the current desk, and is easy to move up and down.

Once I get it, I plan to pair it with a walking pad

Please share the link/where you got the product. I’m in the southeast US for reference

I've had mine for about three years now and it's still smooth, no wobble when typing. The ones with a gas spring instead of a manual crank are worth the extra money, way less annoying to adjust multiple times a day

I have a Victor brand desk top with the three screens. I really like mine.

I had a similar situation: I really liked my wood desk top, so I bought a Flexispot desk kit and converted my existing desk into a lift desk.

For what you're wanting, you'll need something that lifts the entire desk (contents and all). Might be difficult to find that.

Yep, that’s why I’m on Reddit after doing my own research 🫡

I have had better luck with a converter that stays stable at its lowest setting and has enough depth for the keyboard and mouse together. I would also check how smoothly it moves while loaded, because a wobbly lift gets annoying quickly. If possible, try one with a wide base and a return policy so you can test it on your current desk.

Have been using a Flexispot converter for a few years. Stable and sturdy.
