Convert the Microdesk Regular or Compact for use with low monitors and multi-level desk workstations.
Convert the Microdesk for Use with Low Monitors and Multiple Desk Levels
When attached to a Microdesk, the Straight Side Accessory reduces the angle of the Microdesk.
The Microdesk Straight Side Accessory Pack is compatible with both the Microdesk Regular and Microdesk Compact.
Attaching Straight Sides mades the Microdesk more effective for people with especially low monitors, on a standard flat desk.
Using the Straight Sides and placing the long feet at the rear means that the Microdesk will not obscure the users screen. This is particularly useful for shorter people, or htose who use graduated lenses.
Microdesks with Straight Sides attached are also more suitable for use with a keyboard tray, or on split level desks such as portable sit-to-stand units.
The Straight Sides allow the Microdesk to 'step' down onto a lower desk level, by placing the longer legs at the front of the platform with the shorter ones at the rear.

Assembly:
Instructions on how to assemble the Microdesk are as follows (instructions are also included with the Microdesk):
1. Slot the sides onto the platform bottom
2. Screw the feet into the side sections, making sure the feet furthest away are longer than the feet at the front
3. Put the front lip/paper ledge in place. There are two lip choices: low or high
4. Adjust the feet height to suit either a flat surface or a keyboard tray
How to Write on the Microdesk:
- Keep your elbows within range of your body. Avoid reaching out.
- Write with a bent elbow, not a straight arm, so you can access the function and number keys of the keyboard beneath the front edge of the Microdesk
- When writing on the Microdesk, rest your forearm comfortably on top of the platform
- Keep your chair close to the desk, and your mouse close to the keyboard
- Keep your back and feet well supported, and your shoulders and neck relaxed while working
The Microdesk suits left and right-handed writers.
There is a removable lip at the base to stop paper from sliding off. Avoid leaning your wrist on the high lip while writing by keeping your wrist to the side where there is a flat area, or change to the low lip profile.
The ruler/line guide is included with all Microdesk models.
Avoid slumping or stooping as you work. This posture causes tension in the back, neck and shoulder areas. The Microdesk helps relieve this tension by positioning the body with better posture.
