Electric adjustment is what makes a sit-stand desk actually get used. Manual crank desks sound fine in a showroom and end up staying in one position, because nobody winds a handle forty times mid-morning; an electric desk changes height at the press of a button, which is why people who own them alternate several times a day. The 1.4m desktop gives real working space for a computer, monitors, stationery and documents, and the full height range supports both sitting and standing work. For anyone spending eight hours at a screen, alternating posture is the single most effective change available. Available assembled or flat-packed in a box.

Buying guide
Set two heights and use both: seated with forearms level with the desktop, standing with forearms parallel to the floor, which for most adults is between 100cm and 115cm. Alternate every 30 to 60 minutes rather than standing all day — the benefit is in the change, not in standing itself. Route cables with enough slack for the full travel of the desk, or the first time you raise it something will unplug or fall. Keep the area under the desk clear so nothing is crushed on the way down, and add an anti-fatigue mat if the floor is tiled.
How it compares
Against a manual crank desk, electric adjustment is the difference between a desk you change and one you do not. Against a desktop riser, a full electric desk is more stable and does not need clearing to switch positions. Against a fixed desk, it costs more and delivers a genuine daily health benefit for screen workers.
