When buying a height adjustable desk consider the LOAD, the TASK  and the TABLE TOP DESIGN to ensure your sit stand table is right for you and your needs.

LOAD
The kg capacity figures show the overall maximum lifting capacity of the frame.

Load will depend on two factors:

• The weight of the desk top itself (eg. a 1600mm x 800 top weighs approximately 20kg, whilst a 2000mm x 800mm top weighs approximately 25kg)

• The total weight of the items on your desktop.  Some desks become loaded over time with books, magazines, filing trays in addition to PC, printer, scanner “if in doubt then always buy the heavier option if your budget allows.”

TASK

If you are working using an electronic microscope for example you will need the firmest stability. Ie.. a K01150 desk will feel more solid standing than a K0701.  On the other hand the K0701 is adequate for the tasks like writing and using a computer and it will be much easier to move than a K01150.

Other issues to consider could include long working hours or multi-shift use.  You want your desk to last well beyond the warranty period. A 150kg frame used with a 60kg load will usually last longer than an 80kg frame with a 60kg load.

DESK  DESIGN

Size of the required table top can also determine which height adjustable desk you require .   KOS Ergonomic Solutions can provide custom designed table tops should you require a special table top.
