Flexispot Alcove Riser Standing Desk Converter M17 review: a satisfyingly simple standing desk converter that can hold the weight, as long as you can help lift it

The Flexispot M17 sits on a stone-effect desk in front of a pink background. There's a keyboard and mouse on the desk, and a house plant and notebook to the right.

The Flexispot Alcove Riser Standing Desk Converter M17 is a standing desk converter that was a breeze to set up and proved useful, although it wouldn’t win any awards for its weight lifting.

In my view, any of the best standing desk converters should make a great choice for anyone who wants the flexibility to change things up during their working day but doesn’t have the space and/or budget to go all out on a traditional standing desk.
