Safco Muv Stand-up Adjustable Height Workstation Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit may be the best on the current market with many excellent qualities and only a couple short comings.
We wanted a standing workstation for our computer because most of our computer tasks at home take only a few minutes and it is nice to not have to pop up and down in a chair. For example, on-line banking, checking e-mail, and scanning a document are hardly worth the wear on your knees to sit down and stand right back up if you don't have to.
This unit seemed to be the best available when we were shopping around and in nearly ever aspect we were not disappointed. The wood and metal materials used are quite sturdy and quite attractive (we purchased the medium oak finish). The adjustments are quite good, too. You adjust the height of the top (monitor) shelf based on a comfortable viewing angle for your monitor. This top shelf slides up and down the main frame via two slides, like trombone slides to the left and right. The keyboard shelf is adjustable up and down using various mounting holes that let you set the distance between your monitor on the top shelf and the keyboard beneath your fingers at good heights for you standing. The keyboard shelf slides in an out so it gives more walk-by clearance when not in use. The third shelf is fixed and not adjustable because it anchors the two trombone slides together to keep the unit sturdy (and it is quite sturdy). The fourth or bottom shelf can be adjusted up and down using various mounting holes to allow you to fit items. We adjusted ours down so we could fit a medium computer tower on that shelf. Assembly was not difficult. Even squaring it up was not difficult because it really wanted to square itself up. The lower, fixed portion of the trombone slides have plastic skirts which you can attach to the outside for both aesthetics and to route your cables conveniently between shelves.
As this married couple is within a couple inches of height, we found an ideal adjustment for the monitor and keyboard shelves to suit us both. It is so comfortable and ergonomic that we have not used the sitting workstation since we purchased this standing unit (even though we routed video, keyboard, and mouse to our sitting workstation also so we have the option of using either).
There are a few drawbacks, although I would still recommend purchasing this unit if you want a standing workstation. The main drawback is the keyboard shelf is not wide enough (at about 23 inches wide) for a full sized keyboard and a full sized mouse. So you had better plan on purchasing a mouse tray, also. [...] The second drawback was the two rear casters that came with the unit did not lock into place - the rear (non-locking) plastic casters were not molded correctly. But the manufacturer quickly and cheerfully replaced those casters after a very short telephone call for support. The third drawback is not too serious but it is an annoyance - the plastic pieces were generally not made very well. I have already mentioned the rear casters. Other pieces of plastic were either not sufficiently poured in the mold or had cracked a little before we ever saw the kit. The wood and metal pieces were well made but the plastic ones are not of the same quality. Still, this is probably the best on the current market.
