What are the advantages of an Ergo Desktop adjustable height desk over an electric desk?

• With all our Kangaroo Desks, you get Dual Ergonomics (except the Wallaby), meaning you have the ability to adjust your keyboard and your monitor separately, allowing you have the correct keyboarding height and be able to look straight into your monitor for the best ergonomic positioning. Most full sized electric desk only give you Single Ergonomics, giving you the ability to adjust your keyboard to the right height but unless you purchase a secondary adjustable mount, you will be looking down at your monitor.
• You get to keep your existing desk which means you get to keep your drawers.
• Each stand-up desk we make Ships Free within the lower 48 United States.
• You can convert your current set up for about 50% of the cost of most electric desks.

Are there any disadvantages?

• Electric desks move up and down with the push of a button. Each Ergo Desktop adjustable height desk has gas springs that assist in raising and lowering the unit. This requires that you help raise and help lower the unit. Watch our video to see a demonstration of our adjustable height desk in action.
