Yo-Yo Desk Pro 1 (Single Motor Standing Desk)

Electric Standing Desk

From: Yo-Yo Desk

The Yo-yo Desk Pro 1 is a single motor standing desk built for home offices and small workspaces. It adjusts from 72.5cm to 122.5cm, so it suits people up to 185cm tall. The steel frame is powder coated for durability and comes in various widths from 100cm to 160cm.

A quiet motor lifts loads up to 70kg at 2.5cm per second, staying under 50dB. That's quieter than a normal conversation. The desktop uses melamine-finished MFC with a square edge, available in over 20 colour combinations.

Backed by a 5-year warranty, this desk switches easily between sitting and standing to reduce back and leg strain during long work hours.

Product Features

Single Motor Lift System - The desk uses one motor with Silent Motion technology to raise and lower the frame smoothly. It handles loads up to 70kg. The motor keeps noise under 50dB, which is quieter than most office chatter, so it won't disrupt calls or meetings. Wide Height Range - Adjusts from 72.5cm to 122.5cm at the frame, reaching 124cm with the desktop fitted. This range suits users up to 185cm tall. Switching between sitting and standing takes seconds with the basic up/down switch. Durable Steel Frame - The frame is made from powder coated alloy steel with a foot length of 62.5cm and arm length of 48cm. It's rated for 10,000 full-load cycles, meaning years of daily use without mechanical failure.

Desktop Build Quality - The desktop uses MFC core with a melamine finish and square edge detail. It comes in 24 colour and material combinations, from Oak to Black Top, letting buyers match existing office furniture. Energy Efficient Power Supply - Fitted with a switched mode power supply, the desk draws less power than older transformer-based systems. This lowers running costs over the desk's lifetime, especially with daily height adjustments. 5-Year Warranty - Yo-yo Desk backs the Pro 1 with a 5-year warranty covering the motor and frame. This gives buyers confidence in long-term reliability, backed by CE compliance under EMC Directive 2014/30EU.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this desk can support?

The Yo-yo Desk Pro 1 supports up to 70kg (154lbs). This covers most setups including dual monitors, a desktop PC, speakers and other peripherals. If you need to support heavier equipment, consider the Pro 2 model which handles up to 100kg using a dual motor system.

This desk is designed for users up to 185cm (6'1") tall. The frame adjusts from 72.5cm to 122.5cm and with the desktop fitted the maximum height reaches 124cm. Taller users may find the maximum height limiting when standing.

How long does assembly take?

Based on customer reviews, assembly takes around 30 minutes to an hour. The desk arrives in two separate boxes with clear instructions included. Having a second person help with assembly is recommended, though it's not strictly necessary.

The desk comes in five size options ranging from 100cm x 60cm up to 160cm x 80cm. There are 24 colour and frame combinations, including Oak, Maple, Timber, Black and White tops paired with Black, Silver or White frames.
