Melbourne Metro PRO Desk Installation (Cost Per Desk)

UpDown Desks Australia Pty Ltd is an Australian owned and operated company. When you contact us, you're dealing directly with the owners based in Melbourne.

We specialise in height adjustable standing desks.

We operate online only and do not have a shop front. This allows us to keep our overheads low and ensures a top quality product can be sold at a reasonable price.

We ship our desks to all parts of Australia.

We are an online only store.This allows us to save on retail store overheads and pass these savings onto our customers.

We are also consumers and like you, we also buy products online. We understand people's concerns about spending a significant amount of money on a product without seeing it in person. To help alleviate concerns, we now offer a 100 day trial period. If you're unhappy with the product, you can return it within 100 days at absolutely no cost to you. 100 DAY TRIAL

We've also spent significant resources putting together videos and photos that highlight some of the features and build quality of our desks.

Further information and indicative pricing can be seen here: https://www.updowndesk.com.au/delivery-of-standing-desks.html

We aim to ship out orders within 24-48 hours of receiving your order.

Delivery times will vary based on your location and to some extent, the time of year. However, as a guide, the following is typically true:

Victoria - 1-3 days
NSW/ACT/SA/TAS - 2-3 days
QLD - 3 to 5 days
WA - 5-7 days

The most common question we get asked is whether our desks 'wobble', particularly at standing height. This needs some explanation as the answer is not as straight forward as it may seem. And the claim that some standing desk providers make that their desks do not move at all, is completely false.

EVERY adjustable sit/stand desk without exception is going to experience some level of movement at standing height. There are moving parts holding the frames together and the moving parts MUST have manufacturing tolerances to allow for the up/down motion, otherwise they wouldn't go up and down!

THE question to ask is "how much do they wobble". We firmly believe the movement, or lack of, in our Pro Series desks, is second to none. The movement is that insignificant that it's a non-issue for every single one of our customers since our inception. We are not aware of any customers unhappy with the level of movement. We regularly sell to customers who have purchased sit/stand desks from other companies, returned them them, and then upgraded to an UpDown Desk Pro Series desk.

Stability is also governed by weight and general 'solidness' of the frame. The Pro Series frames weigh over 40Kgs alone. Most of our competitors are a shade over or under 30kgs. Furthermore, it's interesting to note that our frames are dynamically rated at 150Kgs, which is far greater than most other sit/stand desks on the market; this is also an indicator of not just stability, but the company's confidence in the desk.



“This desk (updown pro series) delivers what it claims - a no wobble sit/stand desk, even when in the standing position. This feature is what drew me to this product as my existing sit/stand ikea desk wobbles extensively. The frame is easy to put together and fits onto our pre-owned table top. I had lots of questions which Dan answered professionally and promptly. It was very convenient to be able to pick up the desk frame in person as well. I can't say enough good things. I plan to buy another for my husband. Thanks Dan"

UpDown Desk prides itself on selling quality at NOT quantity. We believe in the "buy once" philosophy.

Are there cheaper desks available than the UpDown Pro Series desk range? Yes, of course. Are they equal in quality? No, absolutely not. Comparing the UpDown Desk range to the likes of the bulk suppliers selling $200-$500 desks, is not comparing apples with apples.

When comparing desks, you should look at the following:

Weight of frame
Weight capacity
Single/Dual motors
Power of motors
Height range
Adjustable frame width
Height memory
Speed
Noise level

Here's an interesting comparison already done for you: Standing Desk Comparison

The age old saying "you get what you pay for" stands completely true here. We've sourced the best possible quality and structurally sound frames to ensure our customers are happy, content and enjoy reliable sit to stand desks for many years to come without the annoying 'wobble' many cheap desks experience.

Also consider that a quality piece of office equipment is an investment, much like a good computer. In the case of a sit to stand desk, it's also an investment for your health/well being. You're likely going to be spending hundreds of hours per month at a desk and the last thing you want to be thinking about is a desk malfunction or a wobble!

UpDown Desk is owned by real people just like you! And as real people, we know what it's like to be customers. Our goal is to treat you exactly how we'd want to be treated in the same situation. We understand you're looking at a significant investment and we want to make the process as seamless and hassle free as possible, whilst instilling confidence in you that you're making the right decisions. We believe in our products and we want you to believe in us and our products too.

Our after sales support is second to none and for us it's equally as important as making a sale in the first place. We're not interested in making a quick buck by selling in bulk. We want to develop a good long standing relationship with you, so that you have confidence in coming to us again or telling your friends/co-workers about us. Again, we want to offer the after sales support we would expect if we had made such a significant investment.

We are Australian owned and operated. When you call us, you will speak with an Australian based in Melbourne. When you chat with us on Live Chat, you'll be chatting with a real life Melbournian.

In the unlikely event you experience an error code on the display of your control panel, the first to do is conduct a system reset:
1. Turn the power off to your desk completely for 5 mins.
2. Turn back on and lower the desk to it's lowest position.
This usually resolves 95% of customers issues.

If you're still experiencing issues, be sure to review the PRO Series manual here: Troubleshooting & Support

Should you continue to run into issues, please do not hesitate to contact us: CONTACT US

We want to make your sit/stand desk as enjoyable and simple as possible, which is why we supply only premium controllers with presets.
Our controllers have the option to be raised/lowered by holding the up/down buttons or alternatively, you can preset your favourite sit/stand heights into one of 4 memory buttons. So at the single click of 1 button, your desk will automatically raise or lower to your nominated height.

The PRO Series desk can be raised manually by pressing the Up/Down buttons or alternatively by pressing pre-set heights using the M1 - M4 buttons. To set a height on any given 'M' button, use the Up/Down buttons to achieve your desired position. To store this height, press and hold an M button for 5-6 seconds until you hear an audible beep.

For further information on the control panel functionality, please read the PRO Series installation guide located here: https://updowndesk.com.au/pages/setup

Your UpDown Desk products come packaged in cardboard boxes and lined with EPE foam (non-toxic) of various shapes/sizes. The cardboard is 100% recyclable and can be placed (with foam removed) into your local Council recycle bins or any carboard recycling station. At this time, there are currently no official recycling stations accepting EPE foam and it is not accepted in local Council recycle bins.

Based on our own experience and customers suggestions, here are some ideas to help you upcycle, recycle, reuse, or dispose of the packaging:

• Retain the boxes containing frame components in the event you need to move locations; it’s the best way to transport your frame – unassembled.
• The boxes with EPE foam attached make great play equipment for kids; makeshift doll houses, matchbox car parks etc.
• Any cardboard can be recycled without the EPE foam attached in the appropriate recycling containers.
• Local kindergartens and childcare centres will often graciously accept carboard and EPE foam for kids’ art and craft projects.
• As a last resort, EPE foam can legally be placed into your normal waste bins.
