When choosing a frame with electronic height adjustment, it is important to consider not only its functionality, but also ergonomic aspects, design and stability. Here are the main criteria that will help you make the right choice:
1. Correct fit and height of the table
Minimum table height: Determine the minimum table height so that your feet are on the floor with your knees bent at 90 degrees. The feet should completely touch the floor so that there is no excessive load on the back.
Arm position: Elbows should be on the table at an angle of 90 degrees or slightly more, in a relaxed state. This will ensure a natural position of the hands during work.
Maximum desk height: When you work standing, the desk should be at such a height that your elbows are bent at an angle of 90 degrees. This reduces the load on the back and shoulders.
2. Equipment weight and carrying capacity
Consider the weight of the equipment: If heavy objects (monitors, system units, printers) will be placed on the table, it is important to choose a frame with an appropriate load capacity.
Recommended load capacity: For office purposes and home workplaces, frames should have a load capacity of 70 to 150 kg. This will allow safe use of equipment and accessories without the risk of overloading.
3. Frame design and color
Frames with electronic height adjustment are usually available in three colors: white, gray and black. Choose the one that harmoniously combines with your interior.
Support shape: You can choose rectangular or oval supports. Rectangular ones look more classic, and oval ones add a modern look.
4. Types of supports and their functionality
Two-support design: Ideal for standard desks. It takes up little space and is suitable for small workspaces. Two-support frames can also be used for corner tables, especially for configurations with a corner placement of the tabletop.
Three-leg frame: Suitable for large or corner workplaces. Provides extra stability and support, especially for people taller than 185 cm, where a stable structure without play is required.
Four-post design: The most stable option, suitable for large desks or meeting rooms, where it is important to ensure maximum strength and stability.
5. For people over 185 cm tall
For tall people, it is recommended to use three-support or four-support frames. This will prevent the wobble or backlash that can occur when adjusting the height on two-post structures.
6. Frame weight and stability
It is important to pay attention to the weight of the frame. More massive designs usually provide better stability, especially at maximum height. If you have a heavy workload or heavy equipment, choose frames with heavier materials.
7. Engines: how many and which ones to choose?
Single Motor and Shaft Design: This is a basic system in which a single motor drives both supports via a shaft. It is more budget-friendly, but less stable on large tables or under heavy loads.
Design with two or more motors: Each support is equipped with its own motor. This provides a smoother and faster lift, especially with heavy loads or unevenly distributed weight on the table. Such a system also guarantees greater reliability and durability.
8. Tabletop dimensions
Minimum dimensions: 850x600 mm - suitable for compact workplaces or home offices.
Maximum dimensions: 2400x900 mm — for large tables or meeting rooms. Such a table will allow you to comfortably place several monitors or a large amount of equipment.
Tabletop materials can vary: wood, MDF, glass, plastic or composite materials. The choice of material depends on your style and functional needs.
Conclusion
When choosing a frame with electronic height adjustment, pay attention to ergonomics, height, weight of equipment, type of motors and number of supports. If you use a table for heavy equipment or a large work space, you should prefer designs with two or more motors and three or four supports. This will ensure stability and comfortable work under any conditions.
