ErGear Electric Standing Desk (White, 160cm x 80cm)

What is the height adjustment range and how does the memory function work?

The desk adjusts from 72cm to 118cm, suitable for users from 5'2" to 6'5" tall. The LED control panel features four memory presets that store your preferred heights. To set a memory position, adjust the desk to your desired height, then press and hold one of the four memory buttons until you hear a beep. Once programmed, simply press the memory button to return to that exact height instantly. The system remembers settings even after unplugging the desk.

How much weight can the desk support and is it stable at maximum height?

The desk supports up to 80kg of evenly distributed weight across the surface. At maximum height of 118cm, there may be slight movement if you lean heavily on the desk, but this is normal for standing desks of this type. The 65mm alloy frame and wide base design provide excellent stability for typical office equipment including multiple monitors, computers and accessories. The desk has passed 50,000 lifting cycle tests to verify long-term structural integrity.

How quiet is the motor during height adjustment?

The motor operates at 55dB or less, which is quieter than normal conversation levels. The adjustment process takes approximately 15-20 seconds from lowest to highest position. Whilst not completely silent, the noise level is low enough for office environments and won't disturb others in the same room. The motor sound is a gentle hum rather than grinding or mechanical noise, making it suitable for use during video calls or meetings.

What tools are needed for assembly and how long does it take?

Assembly requires basic tools including a Phillips head screwdriver and Allen keys (provided). Most users complete setup in 30-60 minutes working alone. The instruction manual includes clear diagrams and numbered parts for easy identification. A power drill can speed up the process but isn't essential. The desktop comes in four pieces that connect together and the frame assembly is straightforward with pre-drilled holes and clearly marked components.

What cable management features are included?

The desk includes two cable grommets positioned strategically on the desktop surface to route power and data cables cleanly. These grommets accommodate multiple cables simultaneously and prevent tangling during height adjustments. Two headphone hooks attach to the desk edge for convenient audio equipment storage. The cable management system keeps your workspace organised and maintains a professional appearance whilst allowing full use of the height adjustment feature.

Is the desktop surface durable and what material is it made from?

The desktop features a 15mm thick engineered wood construction with a white painted finish. The surface resists scratches, stains and daily wear from office equipment. The splice board design uses four connected panels that create a seamless work surface when assembled. The white finish is easy to clean with standard office cleaning products and maintains its appearance over time. The thickness provides rigidity to prevent flexing under normal loads.

What are the power requirements and cable length?

The desk operates on standard UK mains power (230V) through the included power adapter. The power cable length is adequate for most office setups, though some users in larger spaces may need an extension lead. Power consumption is minimal during height adjustment and virtually zero when stationary. The control panel connects to the motor system via included cables and the LED display shows current height and memory settings clearly.

Can the desk be used on carpet and are the feet adjustable?

The desk works well on both hard floors and carpet surfaces. The feet are not adjustable, so on uneven surfaces you may need to use shims or spacers to eliminate any rocking motion. The wide base design distributes weight evenly to prevent carpet indentation. On hard floors, the feet provide stable contact without scratching. The fixed foot design contributes to overall stability by maintaining consistent contact points with the floor surface.
