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).

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. 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.
I chose the manual crank desk because I didn't need another motor or electrical connection added to my workspace. The crank is straightforward to use, and I like being able to adjust the height whenever I change from sitting to standing. I also appreciated being able to choose the tabletop and frame combination rather than buying a one-size-fits-all configuration. Jonny helped me sort through the available tabletop options and answered my questions before I placed the order. The finished setup feels simple and functional, which is exactly what I wanted.
Simple, sturdy, and exactly what I needed. The crank is easy to use and the desk feels solid once it's at the height I want. A great option if you don't need an electric motor.
The hand crank turns smoothly even with a heavy solid oak top attached to it.
Simple, reliable, and gives you a good mini workout without needing to worry about motor cables or outlets nearby.
I wanted a clean, simple setup without a tangle of power cords, and this manual crank desk delivered. The contrast of the natural oak wood grain against the clean white legs gives my home office a beautiful modern feel. The 60x30 tabletop is thick, sturdy, and heavy-duty, with zero wobble even when raised to standing height. Cranking it up takes just a few seconds of light effort. A fantastic choice for anyone looking for an active desk with a minimalist footprint!
