Smooth Operation - Top Notch Quality
What I like most about the Rocelco 32 is how smoothly it moves and up and down loaded with expensive electronic devices sitting safely on top. The brake is located under the front right corner of the its desktop. You release the brake with the palm of your right hand on top of the deck and your fingers wrapped around resting on the brake handle. To release the brake, pull up on its handle. To engage the brake, release the handle. “Brake On” is its default position or the position it is always in until you release it. The desktop can carry up to 30 lbs. of equipment, more than enough lifting power unless you plan on parking an anvil on top. The Rocelco moves smoothly and effortlessly from sitting to standing position. Release the brake, and the 2 spring/gas shocks will raise the deck with no effort on your part. Engage the brake when the desktop is at the height most comfortable for you. Keep in mind that the desktop moves up and forward. To move it down takes 2 hands, your right hand on the right side with fingers over the brake and your left hand on the other side; release the brake by pulling up on the brake handle, and push mostly backward at first, then slightly more downward. When the deck gets to height most comfortable for you, engage the brake by releasing the brake handle. The deck will stay put right where you want it. I am 6’ tall and my wife is 5’2” with eyes not blue, yet both of us find the 32” wide by 20” deep desktop easy to move up or down, with a laptop, an external DVD drive, a 27” HD monitor, and a mouse pad with a mouse. And let’s not forget that the keyboard tray with a wireless keyboard on top is along for the ride too. The Rocelco 32 desktop has enough room for all the devices that I want to move up and down. It is well engineered, ergonomically designed, balanced, and sturdy unit that you cannot go wrong purchasing IF it fits on the table you plan on parking it. I have my Rocelco 32 on a table that is 45” wide and 31” deep. I cannot recommend putting the Rocelco 32 on any smaller tabletop. The Rocelco 32 is 32 INCHES wide. Let’s do the math (45-32)/2=6.5 inches on each side. My router just fits on the left side, and my stompbox just fits on the right side. (A stompbox is a gadget that changes the sound of an electric guitar.) What about a table that is not quite 31” deep? No. Do not forget, the deck moves up and forward. If my table was 28” deep, for example, the desktop when full up would be hanging over the front end of my table. It is not in any danger of toppling over because the engineers positioned the CG far enough back over the table to prevent such a calamity. It just totally unnerves me seeing my very cool stuff hanging over nothing. Yikes! No. Another dimension we must consider is the height of the tabletop. The top of my table is 30 inches over the floor. Would you not know it! It is too high for me. I got to thinking, I work comfortably in the standing position when the desktop is all the way. What if it were 2” lower? No. I prefer standing over sitting especially when I’m playing my guitar. I am at eye level with the monitor that is no more than 18”-20” away. The music I project on the monitor is easy to see and read. And the keyboard, and the mouse are at ergonomically perfect heights for me. And even the laptop is within easy reach. BTW a nice stiff but comfy cushion on my office chair compensates for a tabletop too high when desktop is all the way down. Coming soon. Yeah, let’s rock-n-roll. Read more
