Guides about Standing Desks

Here's a guide and introduction to electric standing desks. How do they work and how do they compare to other types of standing desks?

How do electric standing desk or sit stand desks work?

Most electric standing desks have brushed or brushless motors. This small DC (direct current) motor is activated by the controller to raise, stop or lower the table post.

How much power does the electric motor use for a standing desk?

Electric motors used in standing desks need to be able to smoothly raise and lower loads of up to 200 pounds or more. These small DC motors offer high power density.

Brushed motors are fairly simple and cheap, but are a bit slow due to limited high-speed torque. Also, the brushes are worn and the motor needs to be repaired, and the motor can be a bit loud. Brushless motors provide instant response without lag when you push a button, and these motors are more efficient, durable and produce less noise than traditional brushed motor drivers.

The power of an electric desk motor only matters if it translates into an important factor in operating the desk - regulating speed and weight capacity. Ideally, the desktop motor should be powerful enough to move any load on the desktop so quickly that you won't even notice. In Fezibo, the best standing desk is rated at 28 V (DC) and its power rating is ca. 140 W (single row). Thanks to a small, powerful brushless motor, it can be raised and lowered at 1.7 inches per second.

Do they run on battery charge or do they need to be plugged into an outlet?

Most electric standing desks require an electrical outlet to raise and lower the work surface. There are one or two battery powered electric sit-stand desk models on the market that have rechargeable batteries. Battery-powered electric desks allow for more mobility, but they have more limited weight capacity and require regular charging.

How does an electric adjustable height desk compare to a pneumatic desk?

Electric standing desks are similar to pneumatic desks and manually adjustable desks in that they both provide a way to alternate sitting and standing while working. But there are some key differences.

Durability: Similar to other types of height adjustable desks, the durability of a power sit desk depends on the quality of the components - the frame, the work surface, and in the case of a power desk, the power desk motor. In terms of durability, the best powered desks are those that have been tested to the commercial ANSI/BIFMA X5.5 standard.

Strength/Weight Rating: Electric standing desks are probably the strongest in terms of weight capacity compared to manual and pneumatic desks. Power assist is required to lift and lower the heaviest weights, and a powerful electric motor can outperform aerodynamic power. However, the weight-bearing difference between a pneumatic and electric standing gaming desk may not matter when there is only a light laptop and a monitor on the table, and maybe a cup of coffee.

Speed ​​or ease of use: Speed ​​varies widely among the various power standing desk models, with some of the fastest clocking at 1.7 inches/sec. Manual desks are much slower and more cumbersome to adjust, while pneumatic desks usually have the fastest height adjustment.

Cost and Availability: In recent years, height-adjustable desks have become widely available regardless of whether office furniture is sold at various price points in stores and online. Powered standing desks are probably the most common type, as power assist makes height-adjustable desks more practical. Often, the addition of complex motors is the reason for the price difference between manual and electric sit-stand desks.

Environmental Impact: The environmental impact of choosing a type of desk has many factors. Many components of a standing computer desk, such as the stainless steel frame, may be recycled at the end of the desk's useful life depending on the material of construction. Other components, like electronics, are not as easy to recycle. Choosing a durable, high-quality desk can help reduce the environmental impact of any type of desk by extending its lifespan.

What are the specific advantages of sit standing desk over other types?

When it comes to electric standing desks, their biggest advantage is...their power. Electric desks can often lift some of the heaviest loads with the smooth power assist of an electric motor. The Oben Electric Desk weighs 250 pounds and can easily lift multiple monitors and other devices. Unlike pneumatic desks, small standing desks do not need to be selected for the specific load they carry, nor calibrated for load variations.

Electric desks support sit stand habits more effectively than manually adjustable desks because they are faster and easier to use. Pneumatic desks offer similar usability, but some people prefer electric desks for a variety of reasons.

If so, what are the downsides or downsides or FAQs?

A common problem reported with electric desks is a regional whine from the lift table motor. Other issues specific to electric desks include malfunctioning electronics and motors overheating or even burning out when exceeding the weight capacity. To find the best electric standing desk, look for features like a good quality brushless motor to alleviate some of the noise and reliability issues that cheap imported motors can have.

In addition, you can choose an best ergonomic office chair. The design of a good ergonomic computer chair must be ergonomically designed, that is, the structure of the chair body needs to conform to the curvature of our human spine. In this way, the fatigue caused by operating the computer for a long time can be relieved, and the important parts of our human body, such as the waist, back and spine, can be better protected.

What materials are used in standing computer desk?

Both the frame and work surface of an electric lift table can be made from a number of different materials, although some are better suited for the task than others.

Electric desk stands are usually made of steel, and sometimes powder-coated or chrome-plated. Some budget desks also have legs made of plastic. Worktops for electric desks can be made from solid hardwood, cork, glass, plastic or laminate substrates. If you go the DIY standing desk route, you can just buy a motorized desk stand and use whatever unique surface material you like, whether it's an upgraded antique desk top or a bamboo one.

What finishes, color options or table surfaces are available?

Motorized computer desk surfaces are usually laminate or veneered particleboard, but you'll also find solid wood or plastic. For laminate surfaces, there are a variety of colors to choose from, but the most popular are timeless neutral options that last as long as the table – white, black, grey or tan. Veneer and solid wood surfaces are usually birch, walnut, bamboo or oak.

The best surface depends on the job you will be performing. If you're going to write, a smooth, hard surface will keep marks to a minimum. In these cases, cork surfaces may not be suitable for this purpose.

The adjustable desk with drawers is available in a variety of colours - Neutral Twill, Graphite Twill, Dover White or Urban Oak. Each worktop is made from a recyclable wood substrate with an attractive, durable Fumica finish that can withstand coffee spills and strokes. The coordinating powder-coated steel table frame is available in neutral black, grey and white.

What size? How big can an electrically adjustable desk be?

When choosing a height-adjustable desk, consider the range of adjustment and how well it will fit the person using the desk. The 23” to 46” height range accommodates most workers.

A computer desk with a power supply can be useful regardless of the size of the actual work surface. Some people prefer a large L shaped standing desk for multiple monitors or collaboration, while others need a small motorized adjustable desk designed for small corners of the room.

Typically, large powered standing desks can measure up to 30" x 60". Of course, some are even bigger, up to 72 inches wide or L-shaped. If you go the DIY electric desk route, a desk with a powerful motor can accommodate almost any size work surface, big or small, and the desk's weight capacity can be the main limitation to keep in mind.
