Four height-memory buttons save your preferred height setting and allow you to switch between desk heights for different users in your household. The very powerful dual-motor lifting mechanism provides a smooth transition between sitting and standing heights but operates quietly and will not disturb others in your household.

Optional Accessories
A monitor arm that clamps securely onto your desk supports monitor weights of up to 8kgs and allows the monitor to sit flush with the back of the desk if required.
