I decided to order here because I appreciate the approach of using sustainable materials and building something that is made to last, and I wasn’t disappointed. The solid wood desktop looks stunning, the cables are nicely hidden away and moving the desk up and down is quick, easy and quiet. I compared several different standing desks available and I think this is an epic deal – it costs about the same as most others but is a far superior product. The customer service was also friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend!

The Stand Desk Essential frame moves at a fast 50mm per second to get you between sitting and standing positions in no time at all. This is 25% faster than any other standing desk in the New Zealand market (excluding our Stand Desk PRO model). With powerful dual motors, 3 stage legs, built in anti-collision technology, under 45 decibels and soft start/stops the Stand Desk frames provide ‘best in class’ performance. The height range of 64 – 127cm will suit users from 5’0 to 6’8. The Stand Desk frames weigh 39kg and are engineered to be rock solid and wobble free at all heights.
Your Stand Desk Essential is controllable through the Stand Desk app which connects to your desk through Bluetooth. You can use the app to create customised sit/stand schedules to remind you when to stand and when to sit. The Stand Desk app also provides easy voice commands through Siri and Google Assistant to move between your sitting and standing positions.
Unlike all other standing desk retailers in New Zealand, all models of the Stand Desk come with an ‘easy-access’ integrated cable management tray as standard. All under desk cables also have recessed cable channels to hide them from sight.
The Stand Desk Essential provides an option to upgrade for $99 to include the under desk wireless charging option with an integrated 10W wireless charger. This means you can place your wireless charging compatible device on a set position of the desk top and your phone charges so you can get rid of annoying cables.
Stand Desk is committed to providing an environmentally friendly product. This includes sustainable plantation based bamboo (with FSC certification) and birch desk tops and solvent free paints used in the powder coated frames.

Stand Desk Essential - Bamboo
I'm very pleased with my desk and use it mainly standing up. It operates smoothly and is very stable even at height. It looks amazing, the quality is there.
I also had a good experience with the customer support team. When I wanted to change my initial order, I received a reply immediately and the order was changed. Further to this, there was going to be a wait time on my chosen desk top and Conrad proactively offered some great alternatives to move things along. Very happy to recommend this desk and the company.
Very happy with my desk. Great quality parts. Works as desired. Wish it came with printed assembly instructions. Following the video was annoying. The box it arrived in was heavily dented, but luckily the internal packaging had protected the desk from damage. Only other feedback is I wish there was a deeper version. The cable management makes my dual monitors sit about 5cm in from the edge so they feel a little too close. A 90cm depth would be chef's kiss.
Hi Elizabeth - thank you for your review. If you flip your cable management tray around 180 degrees you will be able to sit your dual monitor arm flush. I believe you have what is meant to be the front of the cable management tray at the back.
Product is half decent, however if I knew you would you Aramex a notoriously awful delivery service, I would not purchase from your business
