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 undermines concentration and reduces usability. Key points to check:

• Net weight of the desk: For a 1200mm model, aim for at least 57kg. A specified weight of 50kg or below often indicates a low-quality frame.
• Leg column size: The legs form the desk foundation. Look for a minimum column size of 80mm x 50mm for good rigidity. If a supplier does not disclose column dimensions, treat that as a red flag.

2. Electronics

A reliable electronic lifting system is essential for smooth, repeatable height adjustment. Look for these features to ensure electronics will last:

• 100% ageing test and auto fault detection
• Surge immunity and ESD protection
• Electronics warranty of at least 5 years; many sellers only cover frame and tabletop, so confirm electronics are included

3. Weight capacity

Choose a desk that comfortably supports your setup. Weight capacity also indicates the expected lifespan of the motor. Low to mid-range desks typically rate around 70kg. Target a minimum 100kg capacity for longer life and reliable performance.

4. Adjustment height range

Typical models adjust from 720mm to 1200mm, which suits many users. If you are shorter, taller or planning use by children, check the extremes. A versatile height range to consider is 645mm to 1255mm. Note that manufacturer measurements may list ranges with and without the tabletop; verify which is given.

5. Warranty

Mid-range desks commonly include 1–2 year coverage for electronics. Prefer models offering 5–10 year warranties and confirm whether electronics are covered.
