Monoprice is your friend. Single motors (cheaper) are OOS but dual motors and hand cranks are still available.
Couldn't be happier with the dual motor I bought a few weeks ago.
- WalterBright 7y agoWouldn't the exercise from a hand crank be part of the point to a standing desk? I had an adjustable drafting table when I worked at Boeing and it never occurred to me that it needed a motor.
- michaelt 7y agoThe harder it is to switch between heights, the greater the risk the user will leave the desk in the sitting position 24/7 rather than alternating between standing and sitting. Of course, if the user doesn't need to regularly change between sitting and standing, that might not matter.
- henearkr 7y agoSome of them use a mechanical assist, with springs (I'm not speaking about the compressed air versions, just springs). In those cases, you do not feel any weight.
- bronson 7y agoNo matter how easy it is, if it takes 30 sec of cranking to switch heights I’d do it way less often. This also goes for those irritating slow electric versions where you need to hold a button down for 30 sec.
- henearkr 7y agoThe model I used had no crank at all, just levers to unlock hooks, and then you would move it to the desired height with the help of spring assistance. It was a Varidesk Pro Plus.
- bronson 7y agoI have an Airtouch. Same idea but with air springs. Zap right to the height you want and get back to work.
