Who it’s for
The VIVO is the safe choice among standing desk converters. It had 10,909 reviews on Amazon.ie averaging 4.7 stars when we checked, which is far more than any other product on this site, and VIVO backs it with a 3-year warranty.
It sits on your existing desk and lifts two monitors, or a monitor and a laptop, to standing height. It suits anyone who wants a dual-screen setup without replacing their desk, and anyone who’d rather buy the converter thousands of people have already tried.

What’s good about it
The track record is the main reason to buy it. With that many reviews, any common problems would show up in the rating, and it’s still 4.7.
It’s easy to use. You release the lock and the lift assist does most of the work, and it rises straight up rather than swinging towards you. On a standard 73 to 75cm desk, the top reaches about 124 to 126cm, high enough for tall people.
It arrives almost assembled. According to VIVO, you put it on the desk, attach the keyboard tray and start working. Delivery to Ireland was free when we checked.
Where it falls short
80cm is enough for two monitors, but not with much room to spare. If you have two large screens on wide stands, measure them before you order.
The keyboard tray narrows to 26.7cm deep in the middle. A keyboard and mouse fit, but measure first if you use a large keyboard with a built-in wrist rest.
Like any converter, it takes up desk space permanently and leaves you a smaller working area than a full standing desk.
VIVO 81cm or ERGOMAKER 91cm?
| VIVO 81cm | ERGOMAKER 91cm | |
|---|---|---|
| Top | 80 x 40cm | 91 x 40cm |
| Lift | 11.4 to 50.8cm | 12 to 52cm |
| Top load | 15kg | 15kg |
| Warranty | 3 years | 2 years |
| Delivery to Ireland | Free when we checked | €3.99 when we checked |
| Reviews on Amazon.ie | 10,909, averaging 4.7 | 1,020, averaging 4.5 |
Pick the VIVO if your monitors fit on 80cm. Pick the ERGOMAKER if you need the extra 11cm.
Looking for the YO-YO DESK?
We used to sell YO-YO DESK converters, which may be how you found this page. We don’t sell them any more. YO-YO DESK still sells its converters from its UK website, so check delivery costs and any customs charges to Ireland before you order. The VIVO is the converter we’d buy through Amazon.ie instead.
Our verdict
If you want a converter for two monitors and don’t want to gamble on an unknown brand, buy this one. If you work on a laptop or one screen, the 55cm ERGOMAKER mini is smaller and cheaper. Still deciding between a converter and a full desk? Our standing desk guide compares both.
