Question 1

Which Autonomous standing desk should I pick?

Accepted Answer

Desk 2 is the default for most setups. Move up to Desk Pro AI for the widest height range in the line, which matters if you are notably short or tall. Take the Desk 2 L-Shaped if a wraparound layout or a second machine needs two surfaces.

Question 2

What height should a standing desk be?

Accepted Answer

Standing height is roughly elbow height, forearms parallel to the floor and wrists straight. For most adults that lands near 38 to 46 inches standing and 28 to 30 seated. The desk height calculator gives you both numbers from your height, so you set it once and stop measuring.

Question 3

What can I actually put on the desk?

Accepted Answer

Think in objects rather than pounds. Three 27-inch monitors on a triple arm, a full tower, studio speakers, a mic on a boom arm and a laptop dock together still sit inside the 250 lbs Desk 2 carries, and that is the lightest frame in the line. Desk Pro AI takes 450 lbs, the L-Shaped 400.

Question 4

What is anti-collision and which desks have it?

Accepted Answer

Anti-collision stops the lift when the desktop meets something on the way up or down, like a chair arm, a drawer unit or a shelf. Every Autonomous standing desk has it except Core. It matters most when the desk sits against furniture.

Question 5

Dual motor or triple motor, what changes?

Accepted Answer

Motor count follows the frame. Two motors drive a straight desk. The Desk 2 L-Shaped runs three because a third leg holds the second surface, which keeps both wings rising level even when one side carries far more than the other. It lifts at 2.3 inches per second.

Question 6

Can I reverse the sides of the Desk 2 L-Shaped?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The top is reversible, so the corner can face either way and the desk fits a left or a right corner. It ships pre-drilled for one orientation, so depending on where the frame holes land you may need to drill a few extra holes.

Question 7

Can I use the L-Shaped as a normal two-leg desk?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Converting it takes a Desk 2 control box, which our customer service team can arrange for you. That makes it two desks in one: a corner setup now, and a straight desk later if you move or change the room around.

Question 8

What top thickness works with the DIY frame?

Accepted Answer

One inch is the minimum for any type of top. The frame ships with a hardware kit that includes the screws, and you pre-drill the top yourself, so offer the frame up and mark the positions before you drill anything.

Question 9

Do the desks come with the right power plug for my country?

Accepted Answer

UK and EU orders ship with UK and EU plugs. Orders in the US and elsewhere ship with a US plug, so if your sockets differ you will need a converter. A standard travel adapter does the job, nothing desk-specific.
