5 things to consider before buying a standing desk online in Australia

Choosing the right sit to stand desk matters for comfort, productivity and long term value. Check these five essentials before you buy.

1 Stability

Stability is the single most important factor for a sit to stand desk. A wobbly desk disrupts work and can shorten component life.

• Net weight - for a 1200mm desk aim for at least 57kg. A specified weight of 50kg or less often indicates a low quality frame.
• Leg column size - choose legs with a solid profile. A minimum of 80mm x 50mm is recommended. If the supplier does not list column dimensions, treat with caution.

2 Electronics

A reliable electronic lifting system ensures smooth, repeatable height adjustment.

• Quality checks - 100 percent ageing test and automatic fault detection are signs of a robust system.
• Protection - surge immunity and ESD protection help prevent electronic failures.
• Electronics warranty - insist on a minimum five year warranty for the control system and motors. Many suppliers only cover the frame and tabletop, so confirm coverage.

3 Weight capacity

Weight capacity affects performance and motor lifespan. Low to mid range desks commonly rate around 70kg. For durability choose a model rated at least 100kg.

4 Adjustment height range

Height range determines suitability for different users. Typical ranges of 720mm to 1200mm suit most people but may be limiting for shorter users, children or taller users. A versatile range would be about 645mm to 1255mm. Check both below-top and overall heights to match your setup.

5 Warranty

Look for longer warranties. Mid range desks often offer 1 to 2 years on electronics. Prefer models offering 5 to 10 year warranties and confirm the electronics are included.
