Your workspace should support your health, not limit it. Whether you are logging long hours coding, editing, or managing a team, the ability to switch between sitting and standing is a game-changer for productivity.

At My-Desk.Co, every adjustable desk we build pairs a high-performance frame with our signature solid wood tops. To help you configure the perfect setup for your height and workflow, we have created the guide below.

Building your Adjustable Height Desk

Step 1: Choose Your Frame & Height Range

The frame is the foundation of your workspace. All our configurations use a dual-motor system for synchronized, silent movement and include Anti-Collision safety features.

Select the model that fits your ergonomic needs:

CX Model: 42cm−75cm (Ideal for specific low-profile needs).
KX Model: 55cm−105cm (Great for standard height ranges).
3S Model: 60cm−125cm (Our premium range for maximum versatility).

All frames come with a 100-120kg lift capacity and a 5-Year Warranty for peace of mind.

Step 2: Select Your Configuration

We don't just do rectangles. Customizing the shape allows you to fit your desk into any corner or studio space.

Standard Rectangle: The classic choice for most home offices.
L-Shaped: Uses a 3-Legged Frame for an expansive corner setup.
Music Studio: Includes a tabletop riser specifically designed for gear.

Step 3: Choose Your Hevea Wood Finish

We use 100% Solid Hevea Wood, prized for its durability and sustainable sourcing.

Thickness: Choose a sleek 2cm slim profile or a substantial 3cm bold profile.
Stains: Pick from our range of custom stains to match your home's aesthetic perfectly.

Step 4: Customize Your Ergonomics

Make your desk work for you with these optional upgrades:

Monitor Risers: Crafted from matching wood to keep screens at eye level.
Wire Management: Add grommets and under-desk cable trays to keep cords hidden.
Storage: Choose single or dual under-desk drawers to hide essentials.

Pro-Tip: The 90-Degree Rule

When setting your sitting and standing memory presets, adjust the height so your elbows are at a 90-degree angle while typing. This simple adjustment reduces shoulder strain and maximizes the ergonomic benefits of your new desk.
