FYI, these motorized desks can be dangerous, so be careful. My friend had a desk in a high position, and lowered it, not knowing a chair was off to the side slightly under the desk. It hit the chair and kept going, and tilted the desk and his monitor and desktop tower fell off the table. I've also had the arm rests of my desk get caught under them. There's lots of things that can happen, like catching an open door's handle. A child can hit the button and get hurt.
IMO they should have some sort of sensor thing that detects a change in resistance or something.

- xyzzy_plugh 6y agoMost motorized desks I've interacted with (including the one I own) do indeed have a resistance sensor and will not only stop, but back up a bit if they encounter something.
- geewee 6y agoNone of the desks I've interacted with had this feature. I've almost crushed things a couple of times on a variety of different desks.
- jabroni_salad 6y agoMy Jarvis will stop and reverse a few inches if it hits something. I have triggered it just setting my coffee cup down while it was raising.
- timcederman 6y agoInteresting, my Jarvis doesn't and it's 18 months old. I've had the same scenario happen that OP described.
