5 things to consider before buying a standing desk online

1. Stability

Stability is the single most important factor for a sit-to-stand desk. A wobbly desk reduces comfort and productivity. Key points to check:

• Net weight: For a 1200mm desktop aim for at least 57kg. A specified weight of 50kg or less often indicates a low-quality frame.
• Leg column size: Legs provide the foundation. Look for a minimum of 80mm x 50mm. If the supplier does not state column dimensions, treat that as a warning sign.

2. Electronics

A reliable electronic mechanism is essential to smoothly customise height. Look for these indicators of quality:

• 100% ageing test and automatic fault detection
• Surge immunity and ESD protection
• Electronics warranty: Choose a model with at least a 5 year warranty specifically covering the electronic components

3. Weight capacity

Weight capacity affects both performance and motor longevity. Low- to mid-range desks typically rate around 70kg. For durability choose a desk rated 100kg or more.

4. Adjustment height range

Standard desktop ranges are often 720mm to 1200mm, but that may not suit all users. If you are shorter, prioritise a lower minimum; if taller, prioritise a higher maximum. A good full range is about 645mm to 1255mm.

5. Warranty

Many mid-range desks offer only 1–2 year coverage on electronics. Prefer models with 5–10 year warranties and confirm the electronics are included.
