  • Do I need optional extras such as pre-drilling or metal inserts?

    We suppose the smart answer is it depends how quickly you wind the handle. Our dual motor electric desks move at 38mm/s so from min to max height is approx 20 secs.  Moving a manual desk from min to max height takes about 50 secs but can be quicker or slower.
  • What are the advantages of an electric over a manual desk?

    This is not such a strange question and one we get asked a lot. So why electric over manual: Pros: No need to wind the desk. This can be a deal breaker for some clients and some people develop a psychological barrier to wanting to wind the desk and so stop using the standing function. Strange bu...

All our dual motor electric desks have three section legs and as such they will go to a greater maximum ...
