So, you have a Vari Electric Standing Desk, but now it's time to make it a complete workstation. One of the best ways to do that is to add ergonomic and organizational desk accessories.
Unfortunately, finding an after-market desk accessories that will actually fit can be an uphill battle. A large majority of them aren't designed to fit standing desks like the Vari Electric Standing Desk. Why? There is a metal bar that runs along the underside of the desk top. It spans all the way from one leg to the other. You can see this in the image below.
Since that bar runs through the middle of the worksurface, your mounting clearance becomes limited. That makes it more difficult to install a variety of desk accessories, especially ones that include tracks which are used to mount things like CPU holders and keyboard trays.

Trackless Keyboard Tray for Vari Standing Desk
An ergonomic keyboard tray is a great way to make working at your desk less strenuous for your hands, wrists, and arms. Unfortunately, the Vari electric standing desk doesn't provide enough enough mounting clearance to attach a standard keyboard tray.
A standard keyboard tray includes a track that allows users to slide the keyboard in and out. That track is mounted to the underside of the worksurface and generally requires about 18" mounting clearance. However, the Vari electric standing desk provides only about 10.25" to 14" of mounting clearance (on either side of the support bracket).
(underside of worksurface)
So, what kind of keyboard tray can you use? The only real solution is to use a keyboard tray that uses a trackless arm mechanism.
Our 245E Keyboard Tray with Trackless FastAction Arm will successfully mount to your Vari standing desk. It provides height adjustment, keyboard tilt adjustment, and 360˚ swivel.
With such limited mounting clearance, you may notice the keyboard tray hangs out from your desk top by about 1".
245E Keyboard Tray with Trackless FastAction Arm Features:
- Mounts directly to underside of worksurface - no track
- Separate height and tilt gauges
- Total height adjustment of 5.73” (-1.25” to -6.98”under the desk surface)
- Soft touch knob dial tilt with +10° to -15° tilt angles
- 360° of swivel
- Mounting depth (undersurface space for no overhang): 11.5"
- 245E Keyboard Tray dimensions: 11"D x 24.5"W

Adjustable CPU Holder for Vari Desk
Your computer is likely one of the most valuable items in your workspace. For those of us with a desktop computer, it means that we not only need to protect and organize the monitors, but also the CPU.
The easiest way to protect and store your CPU is with a CPU holder. It's an easy way to get your computer off the floor, declutter your space, and decrease its exposure to dust, dirt, or spills.
Like with the keyboard tray, a CPU holder typically uses a track that's mounted to the underside of the worksurface. Unfortunately, the Vari desk's limited mounting clearance makes it challenging to find a holder that fits.
The 202CPU and 203CPU CPU holder from RightAngle™ Products will successfully mount underside of your Vari Desk. Both the 202CPU and 203CPU offer width and height adjustment. This makes it easy to fit different sized CPUs. So, if you ever upgrade your computer, you can simply expand and adjust your existing CPU holder.
CPU Holder Features:
- Attaches to underside of worksurface (fixed)
- Width and height adjustable
- 202CPU fits small to medium CPUs:
- Width: 3 1/8" to 5 1/4"
- Height: 9" to 18 3/4"
- 203CPU fits medium to large CPUs:
- Width: 5" to 8"
- Height: 9" to 18 3/4"
- 202CPU fits small to medium CPUs:
- Weight capacity: 40 lbs.
- Made from strong, recycled steel
- Powder coated finish
