Product questions
What makes the Standing Desk different?
It's built on a powder-coated steel frame with a 3-stage lifting column and levelling feet, so it stays steady at every height. Dual motors lift quietly at around 40mm per second, and the control panel has 4 memory presets and USB-A and USB-C charging.
What materials are used in the Standing Desk tabletop?
The top is a water-resistant, scratch-resistant laminate over an E1-rated, FSC-certified particle board core.
What is the edge finish like?
The tabletop has a bevelled front edge for comfort and style. Depending on your colour choice, you’ll either have a colour matched edge or a sleek faux plywood edge, all designed to look great and add some flair to your desk.
Is there a cable management solution included in Standing Desk?
Each top comes with a powder-coated steel double-flip cable grommet for cables to run down underneath the desk. For added cable management, consider adding on our Cable Tray with the 4-plug power board to hide those nasty cables, keeping your workspace neat and tidy. Clean space, clean mind.
I have uneven floors, is there a way to fix that?
Not a problem at all. Your desk comes with adjustable feet, so you can easily level it out and say goodbye to those pesky wobbles. No more cardboard off-cuts needed just a perfectly balanced desk, every time.
Is the Standing Desk stable even when at its tallest height?
About as stable as a low yield government bond. In other words, very stable. You'll notice when receiving your desk that the frame is not light. That's because we only use the best and most long lasting materials, with stability at all heights in front of mind. Rest assured, your old standing desk wobbles are a thing of the past.
Does The Elite Cable Tray fit the Standing Desk?
No. The Elite Cable Tray is made for our Studio and Elite desks. For the Standing Desk, use our Cable Tray.
Features and functionality
How fast does the Standing desk adjust?
Faster than it takes to write this FAQ. With a 40mm/second lift speed, switching between sitting and standing is smooth and effortless.
Are there memory presets for height settings?
Yep. The control panel includes four programmable memory settings, so you can save your favourite heights and switch between sitting and standing in a single touch of a button.
Are there USB ports for charging in the desk?
You read our mind. The control panel on the Standing Desk has both a USB-A and USB-C port, so your devices stay charged and connected while you work.
Would my mouse work on the desk, or do I need a mousepad?
Absolutely. All mouse types work smoothly on our laminate tops, no mousepad needed. You’ll get precise tracking and a clean, clutter-free setup right out of the box.
Does the Standing Desk need to be plugged in all the time?
Not necessarily. You can unplug it when it’s not in use, just keep in mind that doing so will reset your saved height memory positions. When you plug it back in, you’ll just need to find your perfect sitting and standing heights again and save them as your new presets. Easy as that.
Does the Standing Desk use a lot of electricity?
Not at all. Our standing desks sip power, they’re super energy-efficient. On standby, they use less than a watt, and even while adjusting heights, they only draw about 100–200 watts for a few seconds. In short, it’s barely a blip on your power bill.
Delivery and shipping
How does shipping work?
We've partnered with Allied Express to deliver all our orders.

You'll see the delivery cost at checkout. See our shipping policy for full details.
Assembly
Will I be able to assemble this by myself?
Absolutely. Our products are designed to be simple and straightforward to assemble. Most people can set them up on their own with the included tools and step-by-step instructions.
Where can I find the assembly guides and user manuals?
You can find all our assembly guides right in the footer of our website, just scroll down and take a look. Each guide also includes the user manual at the end, so you’ll have everything you need to get set up easily.
Can I get professional assembly?
Yes, for customers in metro Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide. Add our Sit Back & Relax service at checkout and we'll deliver, assemble and take care of the packaging.
Payment
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, Afterpay and Zip.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. Choose Afterpay or Zip at checkout to spread the cost. Eligibility criteria, terms and fees may apply, so check with the provider before you buy.
Sets
Do you offer desk and chair sets?
Yes. Our sets pair a desk and chair, and cost less than buying them separately. Browse all our desk and chair sets.
Sustainability
Is Recess furniture sustainable?
We think the most sustainable furniture is the kind you don't have to replace, so we build ours to last and back it with a lifetime warranty on structural parts. Our Studio and Elite ranges use FSC-certified oak, and our furniture is packed in recycled cardboard. See our sustainability page to learn more.
Can I recycle the packaging?
Yes. The cardboard carton can go straight in your household recycling bin. Remove any tape and non-cardboard protective wrap first, and check your local council's guidelines for soft plastics.
