What is the Difference Between Cheap and Expensive Electric Standing Desks?

If you don't know about electric standing desks, you must have seen manually height-adjustable desks or mechanically adjustable desks. If you want to be familiar with a certain product, you have to know how the product works. Let's talk about the principle of an electric standing desk.

1. The principle of electric sit stand desk

The electric standing desk is driven by a motor, which drives the column table legs up and down. Therefore, the motor is the core component of the electric lift desk, and the quality of the motor directly affects the service life of the electric lift table. The motor will affect the lifting speed, stability, and noise. A good motor equals a good electric lift desk.

The motors are further divided into single motors and double motors. The single motor means that one motor links two table legs to complete the lifting; the double motor means that there is one motor on each of the two legs, and the lifting is completed through the controller. In terms of usability, it must be that the experience of dual motors is better, and the power is more powerful.

2. How to choose the electric standing desk?

Manufacturer

For individual users who choose to buy an adjustable desk is more about choosing the brand. Although the brand cannot explain everything, the quality of the standing desk of the brand must be perfect after-sales. For buyers, choosing an electric standing desk is choosing a supplier. Similarly, a good-standing desk manufacturer is more outstanding in terms of product quality and after-sales service.

Number of motors

It has been briefly explained above that the dual-motor is better than the single-motor, whether it is load capacity, lifting speed, smoothness, or stability, the dual-motor is better. When you have a sufficient budget, it is a wiser choice to choose dual motors. A single-motor standing desk is an affordable option.

Lifting range

The lift range of electric standing desks may vary by model and brand. However, most electric standing desks have a lift range of about 24 to 50 inches. This allows users to easily adjust the desk height to their preferred standing or sitting position. Some higher-end models may have more travel, allowing for more flexibility in height adjustment. The wider the lifting range, the better, and the richer the usage scenarios. Both children and adults at home can use it.

Material

The material is divided into two parts: tabletop and table legs. The desktop can be divided into a solid wood board, density board and rock board. If you want to choose wood boards, it is recommended to consider E0-grade solid wood boards, because particle boards need a lot of glue in the production process. As for the slate, its characteristics are also obvious, that is, it is particularly scratch-resistant and wear-resistant, which is very worry-free.

Table legs can be divided into carbon steel, aluminum alloy, and ordinary steel. Among them, cold-rolled carbon steel is the best, followed by aluminum alloy, and ordinary steel is the worst.

Load capacity

The motor, tabletop and table legs can all affect the carrying weight. When we don't know other parameters, directly looking at the carrying weight of a product is also one of the criteria for indirect inspection of the quality of the electric lift desk.

Number of lifting column

The number of table leg sections will affect the lifting range and stability. Generally speaking, there are two stages and three stages. From the performance point of view, it must be three stages> two stages.

Ease of use

This is not a must-have feature, but it will be more comfortable to use if it is available. Such as voice control, child lock, lifting memory, such as Upliftec's standing desk, and wireless induction charging function, which can make the entire desktop less messy data lines. There is also a Bluetooth app control function, which is fast and convenient to operate.
