Off-Topic: Recommendations for Desk That Raises/Lowers?21326

You do know that the new guy brings the donuts, right? DWeeB1967 private msg quote post Address this user
Hi, everyone.

I'm in the market for a desk that will raise and lower. I'll use this desk for my "real world" job (doing computer work). Any recommendations or advice?

Thanks!

I've heard that these crank workbenches are better than the mechanical desks:

Thanks, @karn9. I'd have no problem using a crank to raise/lower the desk. I didn't even know crank-type desks existed.

David, I have two of these (one with the cherry finish and one in black) that I have used for several years without a problem.

I used the black one at school on top of my desk there. I would raise it up and use it as a podium. I’m not using that one anymore. Do you want it?

Thanks, Ed. I really appreciate the offer but a coworker has already given me a raise/lower platform that I'll use on top of whatever desk I end up getting.

The thing is I'm 6'-4" so, even with the small platform being able to raise/lower, I figure I'll also need a desk that raises/lowers, too. Then I'll use both in conjunction to get just the right configuration for me to be comfortable.

We have several of those exact crank work benches in the shop. They have a very good range of adjustment, but might require some modification at the base of you want to use a chair underneath.

Thanks for the insight, @James42.

I happened to have two of them next to where I am currently puttering about. The one adjusted all the way up does not have casters installed, the one all the way down does. So there is a bit more range of adjustment than the ruler shows.

I have a transmission assembly on the low one, which is what I normally use them for, so they can handle quite a bit of load.
