– MAIDeSITe Height Adjustable Electric Standing Desk Frame Dual Motor Heavy Duty Steel Stand up Desk with Automatic Memory Smart Keyboard (3 Stage|Dual Motor, White) T2 Pro Plus

1) There is no meaningful wobble to the desk, below around 80cm. Above that height, you start to notice a little bit of wobble in the desk, but nothing significant. Certainly not enough to put me off working at my comfortable height of 108cm. 2) The package is very heavy. The frame itself weighs in at 27kg total in the box, which makes moving it around a bit more challenging. However, this weight, and the solid materials, means that it feels incredibly solid and sturdy. (Hence the lack of wobble, mentioned in point 1) 3) Assembly is fairly straightforward, and shouldn't take you too long. I ordered this desk frame along with a 160x80cm MAIDeSITe desk top, to go with it. Because of that, the appropriate holes were already pre-drilled, which made the assembly much much easier than it would have been otherwise. All-in-all, it took me around 30 mins to assemble the desk and have it plugged in for testing and initial setup. Note - although the package included all the tools you need to assemble it, I'd very much recommend having a decent screwdriver on hand (one with a thick handle, preferably), as a couple of the screws were quite stiff, especially the ones that secure the control panel to the table top. 4) Operation is quiet, quick and smooth. Not much more to say about that, except that it did exceed my expectations. I can use it at night without fear that I'll be disturbing anyone in adjacent rooms. Very happy with this desk overall. From doing months and months of research on the various sit/stand desk options out there, most at this price-point and below seem much more wobbly than this, and few tick all the boxes (stability, collision detection, 4 preset heights, length-adjustable, being able to go below 70cm in height, etc.) in the same way as this one does.

I'm adding my vote to the many positive reviews here. I've waited a year or so to live with this desk before reviewing. I'm prone to lower back pain so decided to get these desk legs to make it easy to move from sitting to standing while working at home. Despite being quite expensive I think this frame has exceeded my expectations. Like others, I have the frame attached to a solid Ikea desk top (an old 150 x 82 cm beech block one in my case, which I resanded and revarnished). As long as you're competent to drill pilot holes into wood the install is easy. The instructions were simple and clear, cable lengths fine, adjustment process simple. The only bit where I needed help was at the end of the install. I had to get my (adult) son to help me turn the desk the right way up once mounted. The whole thing is pretty heavy and I am trying to improve my back, after all. In use, as others have said, the desk feels massively solid. The motors are quiet and travel quite slowly. The autostop when an obstacle is encountered is sensitive and immediate - a snagging cable is enough. This feels safe. At height, the whole thing is very stable, I can lean on the desk, bump into it, dump stuff on it, etc. It doesn't move.

Amazing desk! I am extremely glad I spent the extra cash and got this model. It is extremely stable, goes up and down at a very good speed (that was important for me, as the if it was slow, there was no chance I would use it), is it silent and the memory functions are supper easy to set. I got to use my own tabletop as well, which is well handy as love me a bit of real wood. It was also a lot easier to put together than I anticipated. Took me about an hour with a good chunch of that time was me trying to figure out how to centre the table top and how to best deal with the cable management. All in all, would 100% recommend.

My first standing desk was from Ikea, which is arguably the most popular standing desk. I used it for a couple of years and it certainly fit with my decision to spending time both sitting and standing. However, after a further back injury (I herniated my back in the oh so common L4/L5 zone over ten years ago) I got myself a fit ball for a period of time and used that. My back mostly recovered but my routine for sitting and standing didn’t and that was down to poor habits and laziness. The laziness was no doubt down to the fact that the Ikea desk required a handle to be turned to change the desk height and yes, I grew too lazy to even do that. A few years went by and the Ikea desk travelled to a new home and I stayed sat on my fit ball. I eventually ‘upgraded’ to a Herman Miller Aeron chair and then shortly after that decided that I wanted to give sitting / standing a new go. I thought about recovering my Ikea desk but could hardly take it back from my wife (she runs a dance school and has the desk permanently in standing standing mode in one of her studios). So, I looked into a new standing desk. A motorised one. Geeky excitement ensued as I searched for a sitting / standing desk with …. motors. After my research, I had discovered that motorised desks have either a single or dual motor assembly. Single motors are cheaper and usually weaker than their dual motor counterparts. However, dual motor versions can sometimes get out of sync, whereby the two motors run at different speeds, resulting in a desk surface which isn’t level. You also get two and three stage legs - not much difference there (certainly not regarding stability) but three stage versions do allow for higher and lower desk heights. The next issue to consider would be the dimensions of the desktop itself. I wanted a desk that was sat least 70cm deep with a width of around 120cm (about 28” by 47”). Two stage, dual motor desks with these dimensions in a finish I liked were few a far between. In the end, I decided to buy the legs and motor assembly and source my own desk surface. I opted for the MAIDeSITe Adjustable Height Standing Desk Dual Motors - Black (currently selling on Amazon for £240.00). Hence my review here. The next problem was that I wanted a wooden desk top and wood, nice wood, is really quite pricey. For example, the pieces I was looking at more than doubled the cost of the desk legs. So, after some back and forth I bought a cheap piece of ply, laid some wood effect laminate flooring I had across the top and cut it to the dimensions I was after. I told myself that my plan would be to use this as a test to see if the dimensions were a good fit. After a few weeks, I’ve given up on the search for a nice bit of wood and will stick with my botch job for the foreseeable future. If a suitable bit of wood turns up, I’ll switch, no questions but for now, I’m very happy with how it has turned out (see pic). So, after assembling the desk (a couple of hours work including making the legs / base and cutting the laminate flooring) what’s it been like? Wonderful. The MAIDeSITe desk works very well indeed. The dual motors are very smooth and quiet (I like the noise they make when in use - sounds like a sci-fi movie sound effect) and they raise and lower my desk setup with ease (I have an ultrawide monitor weighing over 6kgs, along with a Mac mini, monitor stand, some books, the desk top itself and it handles this 20 kilos or so of weight quite effortlessly). There’s very little wobble although I’m only 5’8” tall so the desk is set to 98cm at its highest point so not much chance to wobble anyway). The control panel is great. It has 4 memory settings and you only really need two per person so the desk is good to go for a couple of people before you need to worry about manual adjustment. It has a timer function so that after 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours after it’s been started, the control panel will vibrate, reminding you to change your position (obviously, you don’t need to use this feature). There’s a decent safety feature that stops the desk descending if it pushes against something (if it does, it’ll stop and rise automatically) handy if you forget that you wheeled a printer under your desk whilst it was in standing mode. And does it help with posture? Well, the jury’s out on that one but since I now spend between a third and half of my work time standing instead of sitting, I’d reckon that it should offset the damage I’ve been doing by sitting for extended periods of time. The Ikea standing desk did the same thing but after a while, that manual handle simply got in the way of changing the desk position - there’s simply no excuse with a motorised desk because it takes a few seconds to switch :) All in all, I’m very happy with the sitting / standing desk concept and equally so with the MAIDeSITe desk. I can’t imagine I’d go back to sitting all the time and for what it’s worth I can happily recommend the MAIDeSITe. Lastly, top marks to MAIDeSITe did a great job on the building and use instructions - very clear and difficult to make incorrectly. The packing was also really neat though quite a lot of foam (no polystyrene though) - which is to be expected considering that it's both heavy and bulky. Peace!

What a quality piece of kit! From the moment I opened the box and saw the way the product was packaged and then upon reviewing the instructions, I knew this was going to be a quality product. Every piece is very well made and finished to a very high standard. All the parts fit together perfectly using the easily identifiable fasteners showing that this is a very well thought out design. Once assembled to my existing desk top, the raising and lowering motion is smooth, steady and obviously capable of lifting a significant weight if your desk is loaded with equipment. The range of height adjustment is more than adequate. As a 5ft 10 (ish) person, it probably raises 4-5 inches higher than I would need it to, so it would easily suit users up to 6ft 2/3in as a standing desk. I’m glad I didn’t go with a ‘budget’ option but would still say this was excellent value for money when you can spend upwards of £400 on similar products. You will be very pleased with the quality of this sit/stand desk. Even more so when you get it in a Black Friday deal!

On the whole, I'm really happy with so many elements of this desk. It arrived, well packaged with everything neatly laid out in two layer of foam packaging. From there it's trivial to confirm you have all the parts (hint: the spanner is in with the castors). All metal parts looked very sturdy with a finish that looked like it would last well. The instructions were generally very well laid out and clear, which made for easy assembly with the supplied tools. Once assembled, it was very easy to run through the instructions to set up controls for the desk height adjustment & store my default sit/stand desk heights using the presets available. The speed is quick enough & the ability to use the presets to switch height with a single press is great. The motors seems quite powerful & didn't struggle with any load I placed on them. The desk does come fitted with flat 'feet' fitted, which can be swapped for the included castors if you want mobility on a more solid floor. Now to the only caveat. The symmetrical base design & wide brackets that support the desk means the crossbars that go across under the middle of the desk joining the legs could get in the way of your knees if you like a lower sitting desk & don't have a deeper depts on your desktop. The side brackets that fix the legs to the desk top are about 56cm wide, so on a small 60cm depth desk, the crossbar might only be about 25cm from the front of the desk & protrude down up to 5cm... so watch your knees. Given how often a desk typically has more weight at the back, a more cantilevered design with the legs further back might give more room for knees with minimal re-engineering of the feet & side brackets. I am adjusting to this desk but still catch my legs multiple times currently so would prefer a slightly different design. That aside, very happy with the desk on the whole.

This is an excellent, sturdy 3 Stage Desk frame. I fully recommend that anyone looking for a frame get this 4 stage frame. I looked at all of the popular frames on Amazon and watched a load of youtube videos reviewing frames before I settled with this. For me there were several factors that made me choose this against an autonamous desk: - being able to raise and lower the table between 62cm and 125cm is higher and lower than I will likely use but is low enough for my 4 year old to use. Also better than competitors - 125kg weight limit is above my requirements but allows for future change of use - the reviews were good overall and were relevant to the actual product being sold Please keep in mind that the table top was my own old Ikea top cut to 130cm x 80cm from another table. Also, excuse the cable management, I haven't got there yet. Delivery and Packaging Delivery was a couple of days earlier than advertised and the frame is well packaged, there is almost no way it could get damaged in transit. Building the Frame The desk is very easy to construct. After reading ALL of the other reviews and the questions, I was concerned about over tightening screws and components not aligning. I experienced no issues. In my opinion, a child with basic flat pack skills could put this together it is so simple. I watched a youtube video showing how to build the desk because of the points other reviews raised. Honestly, it is super easy to put together. It took me about 1.5 hours because I was looking for tools and was moving around in a 2.2x2.2m room. Build Quality The entire thing is very sturdy. It wobbles much less than I expected at full height. I was concerned that it might be a bit wobbly, but not at all. The plate that covers the power pack is loose even when tightened fully. When the table is fully constructed, the plate does not rattle at any point. It isn't an issue, I'm mentioning for completeness. The legs are very heavy, but can be handled by one person without too much difficulty. Lift The table raises and lowers very quickly and quietly. I haven't sat on the table and raised, but I did have a 15kg 49inch ultra wide philips monitor, a 4 year old, a laptop. The table lifted to full height without any difficulty. Since making the video for this review, I have saved the heights I like for sitting and standing to positions 1 & 2. Negative points I don't have much to complain about. All round it is excellent. Here are the minor nit picky issues: - It can take several touches of the control to activate the display - The display seems to randomly light up every couple of hours for a few seconds, as if you have touched the screen. I haven't noticed a pattern, but it doesn't bother me - The panel covering the motor power pack doesn't tighten up fully, it could be how I put it together. This does not affect the use of the table

This desk just works. I bought this desk in Feb 23 as a craft desk as I have an airbrush booth on one end and a work area on the other. While waiting for the room to be ready my husband and I preassembled the frame and connected all the electrics. It went together easily following the instructions and worked as expected. Later we reassembled it in its final position and attached the desktop we made for it. In August it had a glitch in the controller so I contacted customer services and they were fantastic sorting the issue and making sure I was totally happy. They even extended my warranty. Totally versatile I have several settings preprogramed into the memory so that I can raise the desk when working on detailed items I need to bring close to my face. When airbrushing I can adjust the height so I am comfortable regardless of the size of the item I'm painting. I even have the height of my chair with its arms programmed in so when I leave the desk I can tuck it under neatly. One word of warning, the control lock is a must. The touchscreen is very sensitive, excellent when you want to adjust the desk easily but not so great for someone like me who is a very buxom lady. I tried to reach into the cupboard next to the desk and part of my anatomy brushed against the controls, before I knew it the desk was lowering onto the chair arms which was under it. I now always have the controls locked (the button is on the underside of the panel and is a physical button) As I would expect from a desk which can raise so high (I can sit under it in my chair at full height!) When it is raised right up it is not as sturdy as at lower heights, but I still have full confidence in it at that height. It certainly isn't unsteady. The desk offers both my husband and I the opportunity to work on projects the way we want to. At over 6 foot my husband needs height in his desk whether sitting or standing and with dexterity issues being able to fine tune the height according to how he feels on the day is ideal. I on the other had am just over 5 foot tall and so find working at a desk set up for him challenging. This has solved those problems completely. In conclusion, it really is a great product, offering versatility and stability and the company has a great customer service team who went out of their way to help.
