What is a Desk Riser?

A Desk Riser is a height-adjustable accessory that sits on top of your existing desk. It provides a flexible workspace where you can easily switch between sitting and standing. Freedesk develops portable Desk Risers that are easy to use, made in Sweden, and designed for both home offices and hybrid work.

A Desk Riser is sometimes also called a standing desk converter, especially in English-speaking countries. These are different terms for the same type of height-adjustable desk add-on placed on an existing desk — a simple way to create a more flexible and ergonomic workspace.

How it works

• Place it directly on your desk
• Unfold the legs
• Adjust the height at multiple levels
• Work sitting or standing, depending on your needs

All Freedom Desk Risers fold completely without tools and take up minimal space when not in use. They are made from FSC-certified wood and designed to last.

Why should you use a Desk Riser?

Better ergonomics

The right height reduces strain on your neck and shoulders. A Desk Riser makes it easy to get your screen at eye level and create a more natural working posture.

Everyday flexibility

Switch positions throughout the day, take meetings standing, or raise your workspace when you need more focus. Freedesk products are developed to support an active and varied way of working.

Works with any desk

No installation, no tools. You just place it on the desk you already have.

Easy to carry

Freedesk’s lighter models weigh as little as 2–3.5 kg and are easy to carry between home, office, and coworking spaces.

Desk Riser or height-adjustable desk?

A traditional height-adjustable desk is often heavy and expensive. A Desk Riser from Freedesk offers the same basic function — the ability to stand and work — but is more compact, portable, and space-saving.

Many choose a Desk Riser, or standing desk converter, precisely to get the same function as a height-adjustable desk without having to replace furniture or make permanent changes to the room.

When a Desk Riser suits you

• You have a small home office
• You work in multiple locations
• You share workspace with others
• You want to improve ergonomics without changing furniture
• You need a mobile solution with low weight
  

How to use it daily

• Work sitting on focused tasks
• Raise to standing height for video meetings
• Change working posture every hour
• Fold and put away when the day is done

Summary

A Desk Riser is a simple way to improve your workday: more movement, better ergonomics, and a flexible workspace that works anywhere. It requires no installation and takes up minimal space — making it a natural choice for modern work environments.
