Review |
Large surface area will accommodate most users. Height adjusts from 3.5" to 5". The surface can be tilted at different angles and locked into position. The surface can also be locked parallel to the floor. |
Height adjustable to almost 7", making this a good choice for shorter users. Good sized textured surface area. The unit operates best on carpeted floors as it tends to slide on hard flooring. |
Extra tall footrest with a range of 6" to 12". Sturdy steel construction with a surface area that fits most users. Primarily for standing-height or lab bench workstations, stools, or any other user that may need the extra height range. |
