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!

What Makes the Stand Desk Essential Model Different?

Stand Desk is in a class of its own

01

Best In Class Frames

Fast, Quiet & Strong

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 are engineered to be rock solid and wobble free at all heights.

02

Intelligent Desk App

Program your sit-stand schedule

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. 

03

Cable Management System

Comes as standard

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.

04

Integrated Wireless Charging

Easy on desk device charging

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.

05

Environmentally Friendly

Planet friendly materials

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. Our frames have Global Green Tag certification in New Zealand. Our packaging is 98% recyclable/bio degradable. We are members of 1% for the Planet and proud supporters of Forest & Bird, Sustainable Coastlines, Keep New Zealand Beautiful, Enviro Schools, Our Seas Our Future and Protect Our Winters.

06

Easy 25 Minute Assembly

Video assembly instruction

The Stand Desk Essential takes an easy 25 minutes to assemble with no tools required. Our desk tops come with pre-drill bolt inserts, our frames are fast assembly and we provide a full desk assembly instructional video to make putting your standing desk together even easier.

* Note on weight capacity: The weight capacity of the Stand Desk PRO model is 100kg, less than some of our competitors (although not by much). This is a straight trade off between speed and lifting capacity. This is still ample for 99.9% of users (a desk with a heavy triple monitor set up, a heavy desk gaming PC and accessories is still well under 60kg).

Fantastic Product

We purchased 5 of these desks a month ago and we love them! They work really well, look super sleek and modern and our staff are loving having a variable workspace.
We've had one issue with the mechanism on one desk, but the Stand Desk team have been super responsive and helpful, getting the parts out to us ASAP. Highly recommend!

Excellent Desk

StandDesk Essential is great! Black top with the ply edge looks slick AF. It raises/lowers smoothly and silently. Total form and function.

Incredible - Changed my working life

OK the main thing first. This desk has made an enormous difference to my working day/week. I stand for about half of my working day. More energy, less tired and reducing back and shoulder pain. That's a huge win.

Secondly the build quality is excellent, the materials top quality (the bamboo top looks and feels really good, great environmental credentials, and it wasn't too hard to put together. I only swore a couple of times :)

In short I couldn't be happier with the best desk I've ever had.
