A 55 by 28 inch electric standing desk that lifts smoothly from 28.5 to 45.5 inches under a low-noise motor running at 0.8 inches per second below 52 decibels. Ul-certified electronics with overheat and overload protection drive the steel motor while a built-in cable management grommet and under-desk cable straps keep monitor, laptop, and lamp cords tamed. T-shaped metal legs with adjustable foot pads steady the desk on hardwood, carpet, and tile up to a 200 lb. load, and protective corners reduce bump injuries during sit-to-stand transitions.
