DIY Motorized Standing Desk: Steps to Build

With 2020 seeing a rising trend in people working remotely from home, there has also been an increasing demand for ergonomic or diy motorized standing desks in the home office. 

In today’s consumer market, and in these times of demand, businesses need to offer a wide variety of products to their customers. By doing so, they can appeal to a larger base of clientele to be sure they are providing as many products to as many people as possible. Most businesses offer their products in an array of colors or textures to draw as many customers as they can.

 At Autonomous, we take this idea one step further.

Complete Customization

Did you know that it is fully possible to build an electric stand up desk? Autonomous gives you the opportunity to take your need for customization one step further than anyone else. We give you the option to create your own desk using our excellent base and motors, so you are still building with the best quality materials available.

This DIY electric standing desk kit allows you to take everything you already know about our incredible standing desks and apply that knowledge to something you design!

The SmartDesk 2- Home Office is an Autonomous classic, but we also take great pride in our DIY SmartDesk Kit.

This kit allows you to have total control over every specification of your desktop while still indulging in the high-grade technology and parts you can expect from an Autonomous product.

What to Expect

You can pick from three classic Autonomous desk styles for your frame; the classic Home Office, the L-Shape frame, and the Premium frame.

Of these frames, you can choose from black, white, or grey, so you can be sure that the aesthetic of the whole desk blends together seamlessly.

In your kit, you can expect a durable steel frame of your choice of shape with a 300-pound lifting capacity, a silent motor that adjusts the height of the desk at the push of a button, and instructions on how to put everything together.

This kit comes with a seven-year warranty, a 30-day trial, and best of all, free shipping in the United States!

All that’s left to you to decide is what you’re going to mount on your sturdy, dependable Autonomous frame!
