About Height Adjustable Desks
Refurbished height adjustable desks — electric sit-stand and manual crank models, professionally tested and warranted for home offices and commercial workplaces across the UK. A height adjustable desk is the single most impactful ergonomic upgrade available for a desk-based worker, recommended by occupational health bodies, physiotherapists, and DSE assessors.
Electric or Manual?
Our electric height adjustable desks feature dual-motor lifting columns with programmable height presets — one touch transitions your desk from sitting to standing height. Quiet and fast, suitable for open-plan environments. Our manual crank desks use a geared handle mechanism — inherently reliable, requiring no power, preferred by users who value the tactile quality of adjustment.
All height adjustment mechanisms are tested through their full range of motion before dispatch. Motors, columns, handsets, and crank mechanisms verified. 12-month mechanical warranty included.
Pair With an Ergonomic Chair
A sit-stand desk works best alongside a properly adjusted chair. See our ergonomic office chairs, including the Herman Miller Aeron and Steelcase Leap V2, for the complete ergonomic workstation. Also consider L-shaped height adjustable corner desks for maximum surface area.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I stand at a sit-stand desk?
Health guidelines typically recommend alternating between sitting and standing every 45–60 minutes. Even short standing periods meaningfully reduce lumbar disc compression and improve circulation — and a height adjustable desk makes the transition effortless.
What is the height range of your electric desks?
Check individual product listings for exact height ranges. Our electric models typically adjust from approximately 650mm to 1300mm, covering a seated position for shorter users and a standing position for taller ones.
Do refurbished sit-stand desks come with a warranty?
Yes. All height adjustable desks include a 12-month mechanical warranty. Free UK mainland delivery. London white-glove delivery and installation available on request.
Can I get a corner sit-stand desk?
Yes. See our corner desks collection which includes electric L-shaped height adjustable models where both surfaces rise and lower simultaneously.
