5 key things to consider before buying a standing desk online

1. Stability

Stability is the most critical factor in a sit stand desk. A desk that rocks front to back or side to side is distracting and unsafe. Look for:

• Net weight of the desk: A stable standing desk should weigh at least 57kg for a 1200mm model. Models around 50kg or less generally indicate lighter, lower quality frames.
• Leg column size: The legs support the entire structure. Aim for a minimum 80mm x 50mm column to provide a solid foundation. Be cautious when suppliers do not specify leg column dimensions.

2. Electronics

Reliable electronics are essential for smooth, precise height adjustment. Poor quality motors and controllers can leave the desk stuck at uncomfortable heights. Check for:

• Testing and qualifications: 100% aging test qualified, with automatic fault detection.
• Surge immunity and ESD protection: To safeguard the electronic system and extend its life.
• Warranty on electronics: Choose a model with at least a 5 year warranty specifically covering the electronic components, not just the frame or desktop.

3. Weight capacity

The right weight capacity ensures your desk can handle monitors, computers and accessories with ease. It also reflects the durability of the motor. Many budget and mid range models offer around 70kg capacity. For better longevity, choose a standing desk with at least 100kg load capacity.

4. Height adjustment range

A generous height range is important for short, tall and growing users. Average desks adjust from about 720mm to 1200mm, which may not suit those outside average height. If shorter, or purchasing for children, focus on a lower starting height. Taller users should look for a higher maximum. A quality height range is around 645mm to 1255mm.

5. Warranty

Warranty is a strong indicator of product confidence. Many mid range sit stand desks only include 1–2 years of cover for the electronics. For peace of mind, consider options offering 5–10 years warranty and always confirm that the electronic components are included.
