The reason you're buying an electric height adjustable desk is to help with your sedentary lifestyle and make the shift between sitting and standing while working easier. To ensure that you get the best desk for your needs, it’s important to check if it will last for a long time and if it’s sturdy enough to keep up with your pace.
With so many brands on the market, choosing the right desk can be overwhelming.A buyer's guide to help you find the perfect electric height adjustable desk based on your needs:
Height Range
Maintaining proper posture while working is crucial for staying healthy and productive. Whether sitting or standing, your keyboard should be at a height that allows your elbows to be bent about 90 degrees and close to your sides. To prevent wrist strain, keep your forearms slightly raised so your wrists are in a neutral position and your arms and hands can move freely. Whatever your height, NANDI Electric Height Adjustable Desks will cater to your needs, ensuring comfort and ease of transition between working positions. Use our Ergonomic Calculator to determine the ideal measurements for your workstation.
2-Stage vs. 3-Stage Frames
- 2-Stage Frames: The NANDI EN1 features a 2-stage frame, while the EC3 offers a dual-motor setup. Both models come with a keypad featuring a digital display and three programmable height presets, with a height range from 29" to 48.6".
- 3-Stage Frames: If you require a higher height and heavier load capacity, such as for music equipment or extensive file storage, consider a dual-motor desk like the EC4. Dual-motor frames can lift up to 275 pounds and offer speeds of up to 3.15 inches per second.
Desktop Shape and Size
NANDI provides a variety of desktop shapes and sizes to fit your ergonomic needs and creative preferences. Choosing between curved and rectangular desks can impact your comfort and productivity.
- Curved Desks: The Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk with a Curved Desktop Option features contoured edges, making it comfortable for long hours of work.
- Rectangular Desks: The Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk with a Rectangular Top offers an extra-spacious 1" thick work surface made of premium, environmentally friendly chipboard. Available in sizes 48" and 55", these desks provide ample space for your arms, reducing shoulder tension.
Keypad Functionality
When selecting an adjustable standing desk, opt for one with an advanced all-in-one keypad. This ensures easy operation, quick height adjustments, and the ability to store preferred height settings. A reminder system for position changes can also enhance your ergonomic routine.
Weight Capacity
To protect your equipment, ensure your desk can handle heavy loads without wobbling. Understand the difference between single and dual-motor desks. Dual-motor desks, typically with 3-stage columns, offer better support and stability for heavier loads. Single-motor desks usually have 2-stage columns, providing smooth and quick movement based on their weight capacity. NANDI desks excel in stability and heavy-duty performance. For example, the NANDI EC1/EN1/EC3 desks support up to 154lbs, while the EC4 can accommodate up to 275lbs.
Noise Level
If you’re easily distracted, consider the noise level of the desk’s motor. NANDI’s Electric Height Adjustable Desks, including the EN1, operate quietly with noise levels under 50 dBs, ensuring minimal disruption during height transitions.
Certification
Before purchasing, check the desk’s certification to ensure compliance with safety standards and directives. This step helps mitigate associated hazards and confirms product reliability.
Warranty
A good warranty provides additional protection against defects and workmanship issues. NANDI offers a 5-year warranty on the frame, motor, and other mechanisms, and a 2-year warranty on the controller, switch, and electronics for all height-adjustable desks purchased after October 5, 2016.
By considering these factors, you can choose the perfect NANDI electric height adjustable desk to enhance your work environment and support a healthier, more productive lifestyle.
