Rock Solid Stability with Aluminum Cross Support

Also made of extruded aluminum, the XT’s cross support ensures this standing desk is the most stable on the market.  By adding the cross support option your desk will have absolutely zero movement, even at heights of 51 inches! This ultimate steadiness is due to a frame underneath the top, connecting both legs, and the cross support spanning across the bottom half of the frame.

Wood Essence Laminate Tops

---

You’ve heard the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover”, well that’s exactly true for our laminate work surfaces which are really so much more.  First, you’ll do a double-take when you realize they are not real wood… they’re even better.  That’s because our wood essence laminate desktops are scratchproof, water resistant, and extremely durable, unlike real wood or powder coated tops which can dent and only withstand minor scratches. Plus the powder-coating process, which sprays colored powder onto heated surfaces, creates a smooth painted look making it nearly impossible for the finished product to resemble real wood.   You’ll get that real wood look with our wood essence laminate, pay less for it, and it will last you longer.

Durable Aluminum Bases

---

Thanks to extruded aluminum the NewHeights™ XT’s legs are extraordinarily strong and unbendable. Through the extrusion process, raw aluminum is heated and then pushed through a tool called a “die”. The result is a perfectly shaped piece of aluminum that becomes stronger as it hardens.  Because the legs are molded rather than solid they are more rigid which prevents both swaying and tipping that other desks with solid legs may experience. Extruded products don’t bend and they also don’t rust which means they are good for the environment since you will not need to replace them due to these factors.

European Engineered Motor & Spindle Drives

---

The double stroke synchronized telescopic spindle gear system is more efficient than chain drives and provides a smoother and quieter lifting motion. These state-of-the-art systems are designed and manufactured by Ketterer Gears in Germany, in an area known for high-precision mechanical systems. Ketterer got its start more than 180 years ago, when Benedikt Ketterer founded a clock making factory in 1832. Since then the company has always been on the forefront of new ideas, from the first electricity connection in the area, to the factory’s own private rail siding for its material supplies. For the past 25 years, Ketterer has been making height adjustment mechanisms for office and workshop systems, so you can rest assured the XT’s spindle gear system is a leader in dependability and durability.

• It is important to note that most budget adjustable height desks do not have the most recent ANSI/BIFMA certification and/or UL rating. These value type products would not stand up to the rigorous testing required to pass certification.

Just buying a new adjustable height desk doesn't always mean your office is now ergonomically correct. Many of the same issues you encouner with a sitting desk are still prevelant when using a standing desk. Typically customers will overcompensate their desk height to bring the monitor up to eye level, which in turn raises the keyboard/mouse much too high. The same is true when setting the keyboard at a proper height, the monitor tends to be too low. These common workstation mistakes will create discomfort in the neck, shoulders and back. By selecting a monitor arm (to raise the monitor off the desk) or keyboard tray (to lower the keyboard) below the monitor height will provide the proper separation between the two, creating a much more comfortable work environment. Below are the ergonomic accessories we recommend, they are designed to function in perfect harmony with the VertDesk.
