The Heavy Lifter
The dual-motor desk is the powerlifter of standing desks. When it comes to lifting capacity, this desk simply can’t be beat. Two powerful motors operate together so they don’t have to work too hard at lifting your desk quietly. Since the legs are connected, this is one of the quickest frames to assemble. The handset also has memory keys so you can save two heights.

Accessory Idea: Ergonomic Vertical Mouse- Your arm will get a bit of a workout between turning the crank and your typical office duties. Avoid repetitive motion injuries in your wrist by using ergonomically designed products.
The All-Inclusive
What makes this desk so unique is that it’s a one stop shop. You won’t have to shop around for a tabletop, everything you need is already in the box.
