Move from sitting to standing height with a smooth operating hand crank. Start standing today!
What is the weight capacity of the desk?
Our Manual Crank standing desk can lift up to 154lbs (70kg).
I can't find the assembly instructions; where can I get them?

How do I install an AnthroDesk tabletop?
Please note our desk table tops do not have pre-drilled holes. This allows for custom positioning of the top on the frame and the addition of accessories like CPU holders, etc (also, the laminate tabletops are reversible, so holes can't be made until you first decide what side you want to use). As such, a drill will be needed to install the tabletop. After you position the top on the standing desk frame (normally centred), use the wood screws included to attach the desktop to all four corners. Some standing desk models will also have brackets on the central crossbar that can be used for additional support (optional).

Please note that the installation instructions above are only applicable to AnthroDesk tabletops purchased from our website. Other table tops may be used, but installation instructions may vary.
What type of shoes should I wear with a standing desk?
We have seen people wear all types of shoes, however, ideally, you should wear shoes that have little or no heel and are naturally comfortable with little pressure on any part of the foot. If you are not used to standing for prolonged periods, we also recommend an anti-fatigue mat such as this one, which can be used with or without shoes (which may be the best option of all!)
Is the desk difficult to assemble?
No! Most people assemble the desks in under an hour (and handyman types can typically assemble the frame in less than 30 minutes). The best time we've heard for assembling the Manual Crank Standing Desk was 20 minutes - let us know if you did it in less time!

How do I install the tabletop/desktop?
After you position the top on the standing desk frame (our default recommendation is to centre it on the frame), use the wood screws to attach the desktop to all four corners. Some adjustable desk frames will also have brackets on the central crossbar that can be used for additional support (optional).
Who can I call for support?
You can call us at 1-800-267-1783 for any additional questions you have. We're available from Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm EST, and 8 am to 5 pm EST during the weekend.
The only thing I didn't like is that there are only six holes to attach the top of the desk to its base. It would feel better if there were more holes in the middle for extra security. Overall, these desk legs are a great deal at a really good price.
I love the manual operations! "Handy Crank Desk" - This manual crank standing desk with tabletop options is a perfect fit for my small workspace. It's easy to adjust and has a clean, modern look that I love.
I looked at various height-adjustable desks, and finally settled on this one. But there is one thing that strongly overrides these hassles: this is a company that stands 100% behind their product. I contacted them by support email about the crank issue and got an immediate response and followup phone-calls and personalized youtube videos, and the problem was solved quickly.
I have had it for 6 months, so far pretty good and sturdy! Nothing comes close that I could find with the same local warranty and support, as in not even within 50% of the price. The build overall is nice, and the metal is heavy which is good.
This made a difference because it enabled me to set the desk's height to what I find most comfortable. Rises to a standing position in under a minute. Now that I know how robust the desk is, I'll probably get a few additional extras like monitor mounts. Currently use two laptops, a Yeti microphone, and two 20" displays.
