Working with a monitor arm or monitor riser is essential to fighting neck strain and poor posture. A monitor that’s too low can cause you to slouch forward, which can in turn cause neck, shoulder, and back pain. Craning forward to look down at a laptop screen that’s too low is a common problem—one that an external monitor can alleviate—but most built-in stands don’t go high enough for use while standing. This is because our lower spines straighten out when we stand and can raise our eye level relative to the work surface and keyboard height by several inches.
Highlights
- A stylish alternative to monitor arms that elevates your monitor(s) for reduced neck strain while standing
- Create extra storage space underneath the shelf to declutter your desktop
- Supports up to 300 lbs of centered weight
- Spacious 41″ × 10″ dimension supports up to two monitors
The Fly Deck is designed especially for users who prefer to use a shelf for their monitor or all-in-one computer (e.g. iMac) rather than a monitor arm. For those with desks placed against a cubicle or physical wall, it can be difficult to adjust a monitor arm each time you switch from sitting to standing. Most monitor arms have an arcing motion, so if you had your monitor perfectly centered when sitting it can shift a bit to the left or right when raised to standing height. The Fly Deck eliminates this issue by keeping your monitor centered no matter the height of your desk or your particular anthropometry.
Note: Interested in the additional ergonomic benefits of a monitor arm but enjoy the aesthetics and space organization afforded by the Fly Deck? Most monitor arms can be safely edge-clamped behind the Fly Deck. (The Fly Deck itself is not designed to accept a monitor arm, do not attach one directly.)
Situated 4625″ above your desk, the Fly Deck creates an elevated work surface that adds additional storage space beneath the shelf. The stanchions have non-slip rubber pads to prevent sliding.
The ultra-sturdy design boasts a 41″ width and 10″ depth, giving you plenty of space for other peripherals and even a dual monitor system. The Fly Deck supports up to 300 pounds of centered weight, several times more than many lower quality plastic monitor risers will support.
Don’t forget the intangible quality of aesthetic beauty. Ideally matching iMovR solid wood desktops and tabletops, the sleek design of the Fly Deck is made to accent your own working space. Our solid wood products are only made from sustainable, domestically-grown species of natural hardwoods, available in 38 options. We back this product with the same 5-year warranty as all our solid wood desktops, and our 100-day satisfaction guarantee. (You can read all about their sources and the honest materials that our artisan furniture makers use in hand-crafting heirloom-quality desktops, tabletops, and more here.)

Tier I
Red Oak
Red oak has color variations from light tan to pink, to red, to dark brown. This plain sawn oak is probably the most popular hardwood used in modern woodworking. Broad grains give red oak a pronounced appearance. It is heavy (42.5 lbs/cu ft), hard, stiff and highly shock resistant. Red oak has a medium fine, uniform grain.
Tier II
Maple
Silver maple is a highly versatile species with color variations from nearly white to light grey. Its lighter color allows us to offer more staining options than with any other species. Silver maple is moderately heavy (36.4 lbs/cu ft), strong and stiff, and moderately shock resistant. Silver Maple is known for its fine, uniform grain.
Rustic Cherry
Cherry has color variations from nearly white to light red to dark reddish brown. It is moderately hard, heavy (35 lbs/cu ft), strong and stiff, and highly shock resistant. Cherry is known for its fine to medium, uniform grain. The rustic cherry that was used in our desktops has visible knots and pitch streaks, giving it more character than costlier "select" cherry cuts, making it one of the most distinctive and interesting natural grain patterns for the dollar.
Hickory
Hickory has color variations from nearly white to dark brown. The combination of its hardness, strength, toughness, and stiffness are unmatched by any other hardwood. It is very heavy (50.5 lbs/cu ft), very hard, very strong, very stiff and extremely shock resistant. Hickory is known for its fine, uniform grain.
Tier III
Rustic Walnut
American black walnut is strong, hard and durable, without being excessively heavy (38 lbs/cu ft). Its color variations are light to dark chocolate brown. Walnut shows a wide range of figures, including strips, burls, mottles, crotches, curls and butts, giving it great character.
Select Cherry
Cherry is grown mostly in the eastern United States and has color variations from nearly white to light red to dark reddish brown. It is moderately hard, heavy (35 lbs/cu ft), strong and stiff, and highly shock resistant. Cherry is known for its fine to medium, uniform grain. The select cuts of cherry used for making these tops are free of large knots, pitch streaks and other imperfections found in "rustic" cuts, and showing off only their beautiful natural grain.
Tier IV
Quartersawn White Oak
This special quartersawn cut of the white oak tree is coveted for its incomparable beauty. It is commonly used in Craftsman style homes and furnishings. As compared to riftsawn and flatsawn cuts that are less spectacular, quartersawn has growth rings at angles of 45 to 90 degrees to the wide surface. White Oak is grown mostly in the eastern United States and has color variations from creamy white to medium brown. It is a heavy (45.8 lbs/sq ft), strong and very hard wood with high shock resistance and a medium fine, uniform grain.
Tier V
Select Walnut
American black walnut is strong, hard and durable, without being excessively heavy (38 lbs/cu ft). Its color variations are light to dark chocolate brown. The select cuts of walnut used for making these tops are free of large knots, pitch streaks and other imperfections found in "rustic" cuts, and showing off only their beautiful natural grain.
