This minimalist desk with clean lines and plenty of desktop space is clearly made with work from homers in mind, as it combines one of the most efficient motorised mechanisms we tested with straightforward assembly, which won’t take more than an hour.
The lowest this desk will go is 62.5cm, which is great if you’re not super tall, and it raises to 128cm, so you’ll still be able to work ergonomically, even if you’re 6-foot plus. Capable of supporting 125kg, you won’t have to worry about overloading even if you’ve got a multiple monitor set-up, and the table was still rock solid when raised to its highest limit. Dimensions wise, it’s 120-200cm in width x 60-80 cm in depth.
The transition from sit to stand was smooth and quick, thanks to a dual-motor lifting system, and there are four pre-sets that you can programme in so that different household users can quickly and easily get to work at the desk at their required height. There are plenty of other features that can be enabled from the keypad too, from locking the height so that it can’t be tampered with to fully lowering the table with one button press when you’re all finished for the day.
There is also an anti-collision sensor when the table is on the move that will stop the table before it whacks your household pet on the head. The legs are rounded for a more attractive look and the desktop itself has a nice, natural grain finish with eleven variations available to suit your home décor.
