We all know that sitting all day behind the desk is a pain that no one likes to experience (In fact, no one has to endure it).
Why?
Because standing desks are here to stay, and they don’t seem to be fading off anytime soon.
Over the last decade, standing desks have become even more relevant, especially to a home office setting, as they make it easier for people to work longer hours without feeling strained.
According to recent statistics, in 2020, about half of the American workforce work from home, which means that working comfortably is the order of the day- and DeskView offers that and more.
DeskView was invented (after different attempts at making a practical and adjustable window desk) by partners who, themselves, have experienced the hazards of a sedentary lifestyle.
You have probably seen DeskView on a Shark Tank episode and probably couldn’t wrap your head around the idea of the window desk.
In this article, we review the DeskView and tell you all you need to know about it, from the most significant features to the tiniest bit of information.

DeskView Review – What is it?
When it comes to new products for your Home Office, DeskView offers one fo the best standing desk solutions.
DeskView is a window desk that can mount to tempered glass windows or tempered glass wall. The DeskView product is a modern and adjustable standing desk that increases your workspace without consuming too much space in your home office.
This window desk is the ultimate solution for those that want to work from home and don’t have much space. It was designed with a minimalist package that makes it suitable for most places, no matter how small.
DeskView is a form of standing desk that does not really interfere with your initial home setting, unlike your traditional furniture.
DeskView is actually the first of its kind. There are several types of standing desks, but DeskView is the world’s first window-mounted standing desk.
The logic behind its ability to mount on the window is a pair of patented big industrial strength suction cups backed by aerospace aluminum-grade brackets that support the work surface.
DeskView has a horizontal work surface of 12 inches x 25 inches. Based on our tests, the work surface is large enough to occupy your laptop and still give you space for your mouse and even your cup of coffee and cell phone.
The work surface is available in white, bamboo, or clear form. It weighs just 9 pounds, but it can effectively carry objects that weigh up to 40 pounds.
How To Use DeskView Window Desk
DeskView comes fully assembled with instructions on how to mount it to the desired surface.
With this simplicity in mind, you can get your DeskView window desk installed and start working with it in your home office within minutes.
This window desk can be used for work or any other purpose, such as watching movies on your laptop. You could use DeskView to provide your home with stylish shelving or a display space to accent your interior(although we’re pretty sure you didn’t buy DeskView for just that).
As seen on Shark Tank, DeskView was initially designed to enhance the convenience of work, whether at the office or your simple home office. Built as a window desk, DeskView is a medium that allows you to work while standing.
Here’s all you need to do to set up your DeskView:
- Clean the rubber suction disc with water. In the same vein, clean the tempered glass non-porous surface surface with water to ensure there is no debris, dust, or hair on the surface.
- Press the brackets with your fingers while making sure your fingers and thumb touch the edges of the suction cups and levers against your palm. Then press firmly against the glass surface.
- Press down the levers, one at a time, with your palm. Engaging the suction force would make you feel some resistance.
- To ensure that the suction cups are securely fit, grab the working surface on each side, pull down, and pull away to test. Try the step again in 15 minutes to double-check.
These steps are all you need to set up your window desk and start working comfortably.
Removing DeskView is even a lot easier and takes less time than setting it up. Whenever you want to remove the desk, you just have to pull the levers back up with your fingers around the edges of the suction disks.
The video below demonstrates the installation and removal process along with some helpful tips:
