Standing desk or desk converter. I live in a small apartment so I am hesitant to get another piece of furniture, hence leaning toward desk converter. Can someone please share their insights?

I have plenty of space in my apartment and still got a desk converter. I like them better because you can put it on top of whatever desk you like. I needed a bit more space than the one a full standing desk offers.

Desk converter is solid if you like your current desk.

Did a lot of research and I went with iMovr ZipLift. Highly recommend. Has unlimited height settings instead of pre-set (air brake system), has adjustable keyboard tray, very stable at max height.

Granted you can get an entry level electric desk for the same price.

Converter was mostly out of convenience

I found a lap desk to be super versatile. I can use it in bed, on the couch, or on a desk/table top when standing.

My current one is similar to this.

Laptop Bed Tray Desk, SAIJI Adjustable Laptop Bed Table, Foldable Laptop Stand with Storage Drawer for Eating, Working, Writing, Gaming, Drawing (Gray, X-Large) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082D74N22/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gi-WEbHN81M0T

I got a desk converter thing from Amazon for $60 (originally $100 but it was on sale) and I would have paid full price for it. Totally worth it and it collapses to fit somewhere small if you want your regular desk. I’ll find it, brb.

Ok I got the white one which is out of stock. But I vote for anything like this that isn’t a whole permanent solution.

Depends on how tight is your place
I would buy a standing desk frame and ikea Linnamon desk top 39” (if place is too tight) otherwise 47” works perfect which I got
