by Ergotron’s WorkFit-A Sit-Stand Workstation for Apple is quite a nice package as a whole, but in the end I ran into one issue that affected the overall performance of the product.
What’s attactive about the WorkFit-A is the ability to affix itself to an existing desk. If you use the WorkFit-A, you won’t have to replace your desk or modify it with motorized legs, unless your desk is monstrously thick. The WorkFit-A I looked at is designed specifically for Apples current iMac, Thunderbolt Display, and Cinema Displays. It works with many of Apple’s older iMacs and displays as well, but not all of them. Ergotron has a compatibility guide on its website.
While it’s technically possible to use non-Apple displays with the WorkFit-A, it’s tricky to determine whether they will fit or not. The position for the display to rest is designed specifically for newer Apple iMacs and Cinema Displays. Some of the older models either have a footprint that’s too big or too thick. However, if you have a display with a footprint similar enough to Apple’s, you could pull it off, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Assembly required
To set up the WorkFit-A, your desk or surface can’t extend beyond 31.5 inches, and the desktop can’t be thicker than 2.56 inches. The WorkFit-A fit the table I use quite easily, but if your desk has a back to it you might not find a spot to mount it. You can set up the WorkFit-A in a grommet hole as well, if you desk has one or you want to cut one. Ergotron’s instructions are very clear and concise, and the company even includes some of the tools you might not have but need to set up the desk, including a ratchet and 8mm socket bit.
