A sit-stand desk that changes posture without breaking your focus.
Raise and lower on a button
The electric lift moves the top up or down at the press of a button, so you can switch between sitting and standing without leaving the work in front of you.
Two heights, one tap
Set your sitting and standing heights once and the touch keypad returns to them with a single tap. No re-finding the right level every time you move.
Steady at every height
The carbon-steel frame and two-stage telescoping legs hold the top steady through the full range, from low seated work up to standing, all on one column.

Questions
Good to know before you equip.
What is the height range, and is it electric?
It is a single-motor electric sit-stand desk that raises and lowers at the press of a button. The top travels from 27.8 to 44.5 in (70.5 to 113 cm) on two-stage telescoping legs, so it tucks down low for seated work and rises for standing.
What size tops can I get, and which fits a smaller room?
Two sizes: 47.2 x 23.6 in (120 x 60 cm) or 55.1 x 23.6 in (140 x 60 cm). The 47-inch top is the more compact option for a tighter room, while the 55-inch gives more surface for monitors and notebooks.
How much weight can it hold?
The max load is 132 lbs / 60 kg. That covers monitors, a notebook, and the rest of the work you keep on the surface; just stay within that limit across the whole top.
Can it remember my sitting and standing heights?
Yes. The touch keypad has up and down controls plus memory presets, so you set your sitting and standing heights once and return to either with a single tap. That lets you change posture without breaking focus.
Is it sturdy at full standing height?
It is built on a carbon-steel (Q235) frame with two-stage telescoping legs, each moving in two sections on one steady column, to keep it steady at every height. The frame is the part designed to hold its line as the top travels through its full range.
What finishes does the top come in, and how is the edge made?
The E1-grade particleboard top comes in White, Maple, Walnut, or Black. The panel edge is sealed in one clean, continuous band, so the edge is closed off in a single finished line rather than left exposed.
How do I care for it?
Wipe the top with a soft, slightly damp cloth and keep the motor and keypad dry. Since the lift and controls are electric, avoid getting water near those components.
