Question 1

Can wheels be added to the Autonomous Desk 2?

Accepted Answer

Yes, wheels can be added to the Autonomous Desk 2. The recommended wheel size is M8x15. You can buy the wheels here.

Question 2

Is the Autonomous Desk 2 worth it for someone who's never used a standing desk before?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it's one of the better entry points for a standing desk for home office use, and at $499 it sits right at the best standing desk under $500 without cutting corners on quality. The memory presets mean you don't have to think about finding the right height each time, which is the main reason people stop using standing desks after the first week. Set your sit height once, set your stand height once, and switching becomes automatic.

Question 3

Does this desk use a regular 120 volt outlet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our standing desk is compatible with standard 110 volts - 240 volts outlets. Both currents are automatically converted by the desk. US orders are installed with the standard two-prong plug. For international orders, we convert the plug to the type used by the destination country.

Question 4

Can the Autonomous Desk 2 handle a dual-monitor setup?

Accepted Answer

Comfortably. As a computer standing desk, the 53 × 29 inch surface fits two monitors, a laptop stand, keyboard, and mouse without crowding. If you run an ultrawide plus a secondary monitor or need extra room for documents, the XL top at 70.5 × 30 inches gives you that without changing anything else about the desk.

Question 5

Do you ship worldwide?

Accepted Answer

Shipping is available to the following countries:
• United States: The 48 contiguous United States.
• Canada: All provinces, including Vancouver Island - BC.
• Countries in the European Union (except Greece, Turkey, Lebanon), Switzerland, and the UK.

When shopping at autonomous.ai remember to change your location at the top right corner to be redirected to the website dedicated to that country.

Due to restrictions on shipment from our carrier partners, Autonomous products are not eligible to ship to APO and FPO Military addresses.

Question 6

Is the Autonomous Desk 2 a good option for a shared workspace where multiple people use the same desk?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For standing desks for office environments where multiple people share the same workstation, the memory presets let each person save their own sit and stand heights. Switching between users is a one-button adjustment rather than manually re-dialing every session.

Question 7

What's the difference between the Classic Top and the XL Top?

Accepted Answer

Size and material options. Classic Top is 53 × 29 inches and comes in White, Black, White Oak, and Bamboo. XL Top is 70.5 × 30 inches and comes in White and Black only. Same frame, same dual motor standing desk mechanism — just more surface area if your setup needs it.

Question 8

Do you offer express or next-day shipping on the Autonomous Desk?

Accepted Answer

At this time, we do not offer express or upgraded shipping.

Question 9

How long does shipping take?

Accepted Answer

• United States - The 48 contiguous states: 3 to 5 business days after the item’s estimated shipping date.
• Canada: 5 to 7 business days after the item’s estimated shipping date.
• Countries in the European Union: 7 to 9 business days after the item’s estimated shipping date.
• Switzerland and the UK: 9 to 11 business days after the item’s estimated shipping date.

Question 10

How does the Bamboo top compare to the MDF wood tops?

Accepted Answer

Bamboo is a natural material with visible grain variation — each top looks slightly different. MDF tops have a more uniform, smooth finish and come in more color options. Both are equally durable for everyday use on an electronic standing desk; the choice comes down to aesthetic preference.

Question 11

Can you tell me more about your 30-Day Trial policy?

Accepted Answer

You have until 30 days after the date of delivery to use and trial your Autonomous Desk. If you’re not happy with the product, you can request to return your Autonomous Desk for a full refund. We’ll even cover shipping! This policy only applies to standard size Autonomous Desks delivered inside continental U.S. and returned in all of their original packaging.

Question 12

Is the Autonomous Desk 2 good for tall people?

Accepted Answer

Yes. At maximum height of 47.5 inches with the top, this stand up desk for home office use accommodates users up to around 6'4'' in a comfortable standing position. If you're particularly tall and need standing height above that range, it's worth measuring your ideal height before ordering.

Question 13

Is there a way to reset my Autonomous Desk 2 with 3 segments?

Accepted Answer

• Unplug your Autonomous Desk from the main power supply. Unplug all cables that connect the legs and keypad to the control box. Wait for at least 20 seconds.
• Plug all cables back in and wait for at least another 20 seconds.
• Press and hold both the up and down buttons (at the same time) until the desk lowers all the way down and beeps.
• Release both buttons. Your hard reset is now complete.

Question 14

How do I reset my Autonomous Desk 2?

Accepted Answer

Press and hold the “down” control button until the desk reaches its lowest position then release. Press the “down” control button again and hold for 5 seconds. When the LCD display blinks and reads "RST", release the button. Press and hold the “down” control button one last time until the LCD display shows numerical digits. The hard reset is now complete.

Question 15

Can the desk surface be replaced separately if it gets damaged?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the top and frame are sold separately, so you can replace just the surface without buying a whole new ergonomic sit stand desk. The frame also works with the DIY frame option if you want to use your own custom top.

Question 16

What tools and how much time do I need to assemble the Autonomous Desk 2?

Accepted Answer

The Autonomous Desk 2 is easy to put together and should take only 15-20 minutes to assemble 1 unit. A 3mm and 5mm Allen Wrench are both included in delivery. The only other tool required is a medium size Phillips-head screwdriver.

Question 17

Do you sell only the Autonomous Desk DIY frame?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can shop the Autonomous Desk DIY frame here

Question 18

Is the surface finish comfortable for long hours of arm contact?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The MDF tops have a soft-touch finish with rounded edges specifically so your forearms aren't resting against a sharp lip all day. It's a small detail that makes a real difference if you're using this computer standing desk for 6 to 8 hours, and one of the things that separates it from cheaper alternatives in the best standing desk under $500 category.

Question 19

What warranty applies to the Autonomous Desk 2?

Accepted Answer

Autonomous Desk 2 leg frames include a 10-year warranty. All tops across the entire Autonomous Desk range are covered by a 1-year warranty. In the unlikely case of any problems or issues, we will gladly fix the desk free of charge, or send a brand-new component to your location of choice. Warranties do not apply to normal wear and tear or misuse of products.

Question 20

Does the Autonomous Desk 2 come with pre-drilled holes by default?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Autonomous Desk 2 comes with pre-drilled holes for easy assembly.
