Today we are going to be taking a look at the WobbleMeter results for our very own VertDesk v3. When developing our VertDesk v3, we put stability at the top of our list of importance. We think it’s one of the most stable products on the market, let’s see how it did with the WobbleMeter.

What is the WobbleMeter?

If you’ve never had the chance to read our WobbleMeter posts, you’re probably wondering what it is? In short, The WobbleMeter was designed to provide an objective method of measuring a standing desks wobble and rocking motions. In order to keep our stability test posts short and to the point, we have created a page specifically for additional information on the WobbleMeter and how it functions. To learn more, please visit our Using the WobbleMeter for Standardized Stability Testing post.

WobbleMeter Score Range Guide

deflection-scores-blog-example-30in-rocking — Example Score

0-20 = Excellent Stability

Almost all of the desks tested at sitting height will score between 0-20. This is our baseline for excellent stability since most standing desks provide excellent stability at their lowest heights. Users in this range will not notice motion.

21-30 = Very Good to Good Stability

Between 20-30 most users will not notice the small amount of motion in this range.

31-40 = Good to Fair Stability

Between 31-40 some users may begin to notice the amount of motion in this range. This is especially true the closer the score is to 40.

41-50 = Fair to Bad Stability

Between 41-50 most users will notice the amount of motion in this range. This is especially true the closer the score is to 50.

51-60+ = Very Bad Stability

51-60+ all users will notice the amount of motion in this range. This is especially true for scores that are above 60.

VertDesk v3 Tested
