Office Hippo Heavy Duty Rectangular Cantilever Desk (White Frame/Oak Top, 140cm x 60cm)

What is the maximum weight this desk can support?

The desk supports up to 80kg distributed across the surface. This capacity easily accommodates multiple monitors, desktop computers, printers and typical office equipment. The cantilever frame design and metal-to-metal fixings provide this strength whilst maintaining stability. The desk meets BS EN 527-2:2002 standards which certify it for both domestic and commercial office use.

How difficult is assembly and what tools are needed?

Assembly typically takes 30-45 minutes with basic tools. The package includes all necessary fixings and an instruction manual. You'll need a screwdriver and possibly an Allen key (usually provided). The cantilever design means fewer components to assemble - just two legs, the desktop and modesty panel. Most people manage assembly alone though having help positioning the desktop makes the process easier.

Does the desk include cable management features?

Yes, two integrated cable ports are built into the desktop surface. These circular openings allow cables to pass through cleanly, keeping your workspace organised. The modesty panel also helps conceal cables and power strips underneath the desk. This combination creates a professional appearance whilst maintaining easy access to connections when needed.

What are the exact dimensions and will it fit my space?

The desk measures 140cm wide, 60cm deep and 73cm high. The desktop thickness is 25mm and the working surface diagonal measures 1.55m. The cantilever design means no front legs to restrict legroom. Consider the modesty panel when planning placement as it extends the full width at the back. The 60cm depth provides adequate workspace without dominating smaller rooms.

Is the desktop surface durable for daily office use?

The 25mm thick MFC (Melamine Faced Chipboard) desktop resists heat, stains and daily wear effectively. Protective edge banding prevents chipping around the perimeter. The melamine coating handles hot drinks, pen marks and general office activities without permanent damage. This construction proves more durable than basic particle board whilst remaining cost-effective compared to solid wood alternatives.

What warranty coverage does this desk include?

Office Hippo provides a 5-year component warranty covering manufacturing defects and structural issues. This extended warranty period reflects confidence in the desk's construction quality. The warranty covers the frame, desktop and fixings but excludes damage from misuse or normal wear. Keep your purchase receipt and contact Office Hippo directly for warranty claims.

Can this desk accommodate multiple monitors effectively?

Yes, the 140cm width and 80kg capacity easily support dual monitor setups. The depth of 60cm provides adequate distance from screens for comfortable viewing. The integrated cable ports help manage monitor cables cleanly. Many users successfully run dual 24-27 inch monitors with desktop computers, keyboards and other peripherals without approaching the weight limit.

Are there other sizes or colours available?

This desk comes in multiple sizes: 80cm, 120cm, 140cm, 160cm and 180cm widths. Colour options include Beech, Black, Grey Oak, Oak and White tops with various frame colours. All sizes maintain the same 60cm depth and 73cm height. The cantilever design and features remain consistent across the range, allowing you to choose the size that best fits your space requirements.
