Do you think it would work for someone who is only 5' tall? I've wanted a standing desk for years but never asked for one from work because of cost.

The platform for the monitors does lock at different heights, but I'm not sure about where you would need it.

depends on your starting point (how high your desk is). When unit is in lowest position it adds about 6 inches, it adjusts to about 2ft tall and it can be locked into positions in between. It should work if you only raise it half way.

I am only 5'2" and my husband is 5'6" and it works WONDERFULLY for both of us! I wish we had done it sooner!!!! :) Hope that helps!

Hi Cheryl. Im my opinion it should work just fine. The nice thing about it is that it adjusts to a myriad of heights. It locks in every couple of inches from its bottom position it seems. So you shouldn't have any problem using it at all. I'm 6'2" and it goes even higher than I use it at. That tells you what an amazing range it has.
66133
Yes I do think it would work very well. The Varidesk has many height adjustment levels.
66134
Absolutely. It is completely adjustable. When it is in down position it is basically desk height with your monitors raised just a bit, and you can adjust upwards from there.

I'm 5'4 and it works great for me. It has several height adjustments and I know I don't work from the lowest one so I would think it would work for somebody a few inches shorter.
66136
Yes. you can adjust the height of the desk to several levels... higher or lower I am only 5'3 so yes the desk would work for you. I love it and standing part of my day has made a big difference on how I feel at the end of my day. I love it and would totally recommend it.

Yes, it will definitely work. It is actually adjustable for different heights.

I think it would be at the outer limit for size. And if she's a tall 8 year old, it might already be too small. You'll get more use from a larger desk.

I'm guessing no, but not sure. I'm 5'7'' and it works well for me. I got the desk because its small and it fits well in the spare room that I have my computer in. I don't think that it is adjustable.

Definitely!:-) my daughter is 9yrs. And she is very tall for her age and it fits her perfect and she will be able to have it for awhile:-) we got one of those rolling desk chairs that you can change the height to fit your needs and that seems to work best:-)

I have this desk. I do not know its weight, but it is not light, and very stable. The only problem that I have is that the task is higher than normal computer desk. If you are tall, maybe it is not a problem at all.

Mary, for me there is plenty of leg room i am only 5 ft 1 and curl up in an office size computer chair. So for me it's ok, the only proablem i had with this product with the directions of putting it together, the directions came in another language so we had to just follow pictures, which were not of much help. I find this desk very unstable compared to what i was expecting. Have a nice day hope it helps you out :)

First consider you height and the height of you desk to estimate how high that table would have to be adjusted. If you look at the photos accompanying the product you can get an idea of the configuration that would be required. It was a little tricky finding the best setting but the construction is solid and I recommend the product. I can see it working for you.

I'd be willing to try it and see. I'm sure a small to medium desktop would be fine. A really heavy desk top, I'd put directly on the floor. The bottom shelf sits on metal pegs that are pushed into the desk legs. It all seems pretty sturdy, but clearly it would depend on many variables.

I assume you mean a 5' person, not 5". It is a very sturdy, versatile stand. I have it attached to my standard height desk and it's perfect for my application. I am 6' tall and I can raise it while sitting so I am looking up at screen. But if I stand, I would not be able to raise it enough to have it level with my line of sight, even if I were 5' tall.

This one looks a lot smaller than the one I bought, so it's probably sturdier. I don't think I'd use it as a desk though cause I would lean on it. But if you don't do that it should work. I did a vendor event this past Saturday and my friend had one similar to this - it was sturdy

I'm 6ft, it's not fun to move, but manageable. I imagine it doesn't matter how tall you are. It might even be easier for a shorter person. It's pretty heavy and yes the support stand is what is the problem area when trying to move it. Nevertheless, I wouldn't consider this a reason to not buy this machine or to buy a competitor. This is a good machine and it's worth working through the minor movement hurdles.

It can only be used for a standing "desk" in the sense that it's on top of a table. I currently have mine on a desk that's about 30" (76cm) high, and use it for standing all day and working. I'm 5'10" . It could go higher or lower as needed, depending on your height.

I have, it's stable enough, but not comfortable for prolonged use since you have nowhere to rest your arms... it's no replacement for a standing desk.

To make it easy to use for a standing desk you would need some kind of ring or step bar to get you higher on the seat. I actually use this in the kitchen to work at the stove or counter and do not put it up as far as I would like due to my own physical problems. It would go high enough. With rubber soled shoes I step on one of the legs of the chair to hoist myself a little higher on the seat.

I am 5' 4". I use it without a problem. It is slightly lower than the kitchen counter. So, it might be a bit low for you, but you could definitely do so without any major issues.

Yes. I wish I had done more homework on the height specifications. One would assume desk would be standard height.

My husband is 6 feet tall. He came and stood in front of the desk, and said the height was no problem for him. He went on to say that as long as the surface wasn't so low that his arms were at waist level, he saw no reason he would not be perfectly comfortable--the key was he didn't have to slouch over. I think your best bet might be to see where the desk height is in relation to your body, because that is the level at which your arms would be resting.
