Alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day reduces these risks by increasing calorie burn, improving circulation, reducing lower back pressure, and preventing the postural fatigue that comes from static positions. The Solace makes position changes effortless—encouraging you to stand more frequently without disrupting your workflow. Most users find that standing for 15-30 minutes every hour provides optimal benefits without causing leg fatigue. Who It's Built For Essential for home office professionals wanting sit-stand benefits without buying a new desk, renters who can't install permanent sit-stand desks, corporate offices upgrading multiple workstations cost-effectively, shared workspaces and hot-desking environments, anyone experiencing back pain or fatigue from prolonged sitting, and dual monitor users requiring stable, adjustable platforms. Perfect for users who found full standing desks too expensive or impractical for their workspace.

The Solace arrives fully assembled. Simply unbox it, remove protective packaging, place it on your desk, and start using it immediately. No tools, no installation, no desk modification required. Will it fit on my desk? The Solace sits on top of your existing desk. Measure your desk surface to ensure adequate space for the converter's footprint. The compact design fits most standard desks while providing ample work surface for dual monitors and accessories. How easy is it to adjust the height? Very easy! The gas-spring counterbalance mechanism allows smooth one-handed height adjustment. No cranking, no electric power, no effort required. Just lift or lower the work surface and the gas spring does the work. Will it hold dual monitors? Yes! The standard Desktop model accommodates dual monitors for typical setups. The HD Desktop model supports heavier/larger monitors. Choose based on your monitor size and weight. Is it stable when raised to standing height? Absolutely! The professional-grade construction ensures rock-solid stability even at full standing height with dual monitors. The substantial build prevents wobbling or shaking during use. Will this help with my back pain from sitting all day? Alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day can significantly reduce lower back pain by changing spinal loading patterns and preventing static postural fatigue. Most users report noticeable back pain relief within the first few weeks. However, back pain has multiple causes—consult with our ergonomic specialists or your healthcare provider for personalized guidance. How is this different from buying a full standing desk? The Solace sits on top of your existing desk (no replacement needed), requires zero installation, costs significantly less than full standing desks, and is portable (take it with you when you move). It's perfect for trying sit-stand working before committing to a full desk replacement or for situations where you can't replace your current desk. Can I use this with a laptop? Absolutely! The Solace works great with laptops, desktop monitors, or a combination of both. For best ergonomics with a laptop, consider using an external keyboard and mouse so you can position the laptop screen at proper eye level on the upper platform. What's the difference between Desktop and HD Desktop models? The Desktop model is for standard dual monitor setups. The HD Desktop model provides extra support for larger/heavier monitors (27"+) or heavy equipment. Choose based on your monitor size and weight requirements. Does it require electricity or batteries? No! The Solace uses a mechanical gas-spring system—no electricity, no batteries, no power cords. This makes it more reliable (no motors to fail) and allows placement anywhere without worrying about power outlet access. How much desk space does it take up? The Solace has a compact footprint designed to maximize desk space while providing ample work surface. Exact dimensions vary by model. Contact us for specific measurements to confirm fit for your desk. Can I move it between desks? Yes! The freestanding design allows you to move the Solace between workstations or take it with you when you change offices. No installation means complete portability.
