Hi @jongolson. After my back surgery, I purchased a VariDesk alternative for half the price. I have used it for the past 5 years. If you don't want a full desk, then the desk riser is your best bet.

I purchased a desk riser. It has numerous locking levels. I can place my keyboard on the 2nd level, or on top of the desk if it is in full, stand-up position.

Here's a link if anyone wants to see the alternatives to the VariDesk:
