Everything you need to know before you buy
Adjustable desks are defined by their mechanism—electric, manual crank, or pneumatic—and the quality of that system determines longevity and daily usability. Look for desks with dual motors (electric models), smooth height transitions, and sturdy frames that won't wobble at full extension.
| Mechanism | Durability | Typical UK price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dual-motor electric | Very high | £400–£1,200 | Daily switching, heavy users, offices |
| Single-motor electric | High | £250–£600 | Home offices, moderate use |
| Manual crank | High | £150–£400 | Budget-conscious, occasional adjusters |
| Pneumatic (gas-lift) | Medium | £100–£300 | Light use, compact spaces |
| Bamboo or solid wood top | Very high | +£80–£200 | Aesthetic, eco-conscious buyers |
| MDF or particle board top | Medium | Base price | Budget builds, temporary setups |
Check weight capacity (most UK desks support 50–100kg), cable management systems, and whether the frame is steel or aluminium. Memory presets on electric models are genuinely useful if you alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day.
