Raising a cubicle desk can transform your workspace, potentially allowing you to work standing or simply adjust the height for better ergonomics. One effective method, demonstrated in the provided reference, involves converting your existing desk surface into a standing desk using a specialized base.
Converting Your Cubicle Desk to Standing Height
According to the reference video snippet, one way to raise your cubicle desk to standing height is by utilizing a dedicated standing desk base. This approach reuses your existing desktop surface.
The process described is straightforward:
- Set Up the Base: Begin by placing the standing desk base in your cubicle workspace where your desk currently sits.
- Prepare Your Old Work Surface: Remove any existing brackets from the underside of your original cubicle desk surface.
- Attach the Work Surface: Secure your prepared work surface to the new standing desk base by adding a few screws underneath.
By following these steps, you effectively raise your old work surface to standing height, converting your traditional cubicle desk setup into a standing desk.
Other Potential Methods for Raising a Desk
While the standing desk conversion using a base is shown as a method to raise the desk significantly, other approaches can also be used depending on your needs:
- Desk Risers: Simple blocks or legs placed under the existing desk legs can raise the overall height.
- Adjustable Legs: Replacing static desk legs with adjustable ones allows for flexible height settings, though this might require modifications to the desk surface attachment.
Choosing the best method depends on your desired height, budget, and the specific structure of your cubicle desk. However, for achieving standing height using existing materials, a conversion base as shown in the reference is a viable option.
