Electric height-adjustable desks have become a necessity for a healthy office environment. There are many different types of manual and electric height-adjustable desks available on the market, tailored to different work styles and workers. We've compiled some information and provided a comparison chart of the advantages of height-adjustable desks. Workers can find the sit-stand desk solution that best suits them and help create their own work environment:
| Types of height adjustable desks | Electric height adjustable desk | Manual lift table | Pneumatic lift table | Desktop lift table |
| advantage | The height can be adjusted with a single button, with a gentle lifting speed. A memory button for your preferred height can be set to reduce the effort required for adjustments, and the desktop load capacity is generally better. | Manual lift tables use manual adjustment, eliminating the need for electricity. The table itself is also lighter because it lacks an electric motor. | It can be raised or lowered without connecting to electricity, eliminating the need for electricity planning and wiring storage issues, and providing a high degree of freedom of choice. | It can be used with existing office desks or OA screens, requires no installation, does not require large-scale changes to equipment, and is relatively low-priced. |
| price | Higher | middle | middle | Low |
| Remark | The electrical environment such as the socket and the wire storage must be considered, and it is heavy and not easy to change at will. | It takes more effort to manually turn the joystick to raise or lower the table. The overall weight of the table is lighter and the stability is not as good as an electric lift table. | The lifting range is small. When the tabletop is raised, air/hydraulic pressure is released, so be careful not to knock over items due to the sudden rise of the tabletop. When lowering the tabletop, gravity is required to press it down, which is more laborious to use. | A desktop lift will take up too much desk space, leaving no room for other office supplies. If you use desktop monitors, keyboards, and other products, you will need to carefully consider the length and storage of the cables. |
| Recommended groups | People who want to easily switch between sit-stand mode | Fewer height adjustments | Don't want to waste time adjusting the height | Limited workspace Those who want to try the lifting work mode |
For those who suffer from chronic work fatigue or have to sit for long periods of time, and want to be able to easily switch between sit-stand mode, electric height-adjustable desks are the best recommendation. They offer a wide range of adjustment for people of all body types, and you can store your preferred working height via a memory button. The stable electronic device consumes little power, and the volume during adjustment is not loud. Adjustments can be made with the push of a button, saving both time and effort!
