E5 height-adjustable desk with a white frame — 2 motors, MDF tabletop

In a single-motor desk, the motor is housed in one leg, while the other is driven via a metal shaft. This makes the lift slower, the operation louder, and the desk prone to wobbling at full height, especially under the weight of a monitor or mount. When each leg has its own motor, the controller synchronizes them, allowing the desk to rise evenly, without tilting or jerking. The E5’s two motors lift up to 100 kg at speeds of up to 25 mm/s and noise levels of just 50 dB—quieter than a normal conversation—while the anti-collision system stops the desk if it encounters a windowsill, chair, or cat. For a workspace with a monitor, laptop, and equipment, we recommend dual-motor frames: stability at standing height is more important than it seems in a showroom, because you won’t be working for five minutes—you’ll be working there every day. Another feature worth considering is the ergonomic cutout in the desktop. It allows you to sit deeper into the desk so your forearms can rest fully on the surface, transferring the weight of your arms to the desk rather than your shoulders and neck. When your arms “hang” over the keyboard all day, that’s exactly why your trapezius muscles feel tight by evening. Another benefit: the monitor is positioned at the right distance, so you don’t have to reach for the keyboard. The cutout is especially useful for anyone who types, draws, or works with a mouse for six to eight hours a day.
