Adjustable Height Table

The Benefits Of Adjustable Tables

An adjustable height table can be used in the same way as any other table. The key difference is that it can be adjusted in height. You will either need to use a manual winch handle or the buttons controlling the electric motor. A simple push gets the table to go up or down.

This allows you to sit or stand while working, this is also the biggest benefit of adjustable tables.

Sitting all day is bad for your health. However, there are some jobs that need you to be sat down. Having an adjustable table means you can raise the height and stand to type. This gives you better circulation, burns more calories, potentially helps with weight loss, and helps you improve focus and productivity.

When your legs are tired or you need to focus on small detail work, simply lower the adjustable table and sit to work.

Is It Possible To Make A Small Adjustment To The Table Height?

Whether you choose a manual adjustable table or prefer the electric adjustable table, you’ll find you are not alone. Both models are becoming increasingly popular and there’s a good reason for this.

It’s the ability to adjust the height by just a few centimeters. Every turn of the manual handle will raise the desk by 3-4cm. Considering the table changes from 700-1120mm, a difference of just 30mm is very small. In effect, you can set your adjustable table at exactly the height you want and still easily change it when desired.

The great thing is that the push button and handle make it easy to make a small adjustment. Combine this with a sophisticated and reliable internal mechanism and you have an adjustable table that can be moved in small amounts and sit safely at your chosen height.

Best of all, you don’t need to move anything off the table when adjusting the height!

How High And Low Can The Adjustable Table Go?

Adjustable tables can be set to almost any height you desire. The Trandesk offerings move from 700mm to 1120mm. Of course, the real issue isn’t how high can the table be, it’s how tall are you.

The Trandesk adjustable tables are perfect for people of almost any size. This is because you need your arms, when bent at the elbow, to be parallel with the surface of the table. This is the most ergonomic position for typing on a keyboard.

Providing your arms, when bent as indicated, are 1120mm or below, the Trandesk adjustable tables will be a viable option.

In reality, you would need to be over 185-190cm to be concerned about the height of an adjustable table being too small.

What’s The Difference Between An Electric Adjustable Table And A Manual One?

The main difference between these two types of adjustable tables is the way they are moved. An electric adjustable table has at least one motor in the table. In most cases, there are two motors or even one in each leg. The motors are hidden and, using a ratchet-style system they gently move the table up and down, depending on which button you push.

Of course, to use an electric adjustable table you will need to plug your table in using the adapter supplied. That means being close enough to a power outlet.

In contrast, the manually adjustable table supplied by Trandesk uses a gas-powered piston. In effect, you turn a handle that increases or decreases the pressure inside the gas piston. When the pressure increases the table is forced upward, when it decreases, the table slides back down. 

The increase is slow, ensuring that the table moves slowly and smoothly.

Should I Get An Electric Adjustable Table Or A Manual One?

The final decision between a manual and an electric adjustable table is yours. However, it is worth noting that a gas-powered adjustable table generally handles less weight than an electric version. However, the Trandesk offerings generally can cope with 250N which is more than most people need.

The manually adjustable table is also quieter and you have much less chance that something will go wrong. However, it does have a crank handle sticking out of it somewhere. 

In contrast, the electric table has more components that can go wrong. It’s not just the motors, it also has several control boards. You’ll also discover that an electric table can only be adjusted to pre-set heights. Electric adjustable tables are generally noisier and more expensive to buy. But, they will generally handle more weight than their manual counterpart.

Both are smooth to operate and should be reliable. As stated, the final choice is what suits you better, there is no right or wrong answer.

How Large Is The Adjustable Height Table?

This depends on what you are looking for. Trandesk makes a variety of standing adjustable height tables. These range from the small coffee table which is just 210mm wide with a 500mm base, to the larger adjustable tables that are between 1000-1800mm wide and can handle 1000N.

Best of all, if you choose to use Trandesk, you’ll find that they will adapt their existing templates and create a desk-sized specifically for you. Of course, this is intended to be sold in bulk.

Yes! Adjustable tables are available in a variety of formats. You can purchase a frame and choose the size top that suits your needs. Alternatively, one of the best small adjustable height table options currently available is the mobile coffee standing table from Trandesk.

Again, you simply need to talk to Trandesk about the size you need and the team will do their best to accommodate you.

Should I get An Adjustable Table Stand For My Existing Table?

The adjustable table stand is a great introduction to the world of standing tables. It has been specially developed to allow you to place it on an existing desk, offering a stable location for your monitor and keyboard. You can then raise the height of the adjustable table stand, allowing you to assess what it’s like to use a standing desk.

This approach is worthwhile but it should be noted that the adjustable table stand may not cover the entirety of your current desk space. This means you won’t get access to all the available workspace when in the raised position.

For this reason, it is best to see the adjustable table stand as an introduction to the world of adjustable height tables. Once you know that this is the right type of desk for you, it’s simply a case of purchasing a great adjustable table from Trandesk and revolutionizing the way you work.

Is It Good To Stand At An Adjustable Table All Day?

Research suggests that sitting all day will slow your circulation and metabolism. This means you are more likely to have cardiovascular issues and experience weight gain. In contrast, standing burns more calories and boosts circulation. That makes it the better option.

In fact, research even shows that using standing desks is better for productivity.

Of course, some jobs are still better performed while sat down, such as close work. That’s why the Trandesk desk is adjustable, allowing you to move between positions and maximize the health benefits while enjoying the improved focus and job satisfaction that comes with these desks.  

Will The Adjustable height Table help Me To Lose Weight?

As mentioned, standing at an adjustable height table means you are burning more calories than when sitting at the same desk doing the same job. The more calories you burn the easier it is to lose weight. In effect, you simply need to burn more calories than you eat.

Standing at an adjustable height table will help with this. But, you should note that it is an aid. You won’t lose weight just because you have bought and are using an adjustable height table. For it to be effective at weight loss it needs to be part of a plan, which means thinking about what you are eating and exercising more.

Can I Program The Electric Adjustable Height Table?

At present the electric adjustable height table is configured to move up and down at the touch of a button, providing it is plugged in. There is no function for adjusting the table height when you are not at the table. You can’t set up a programmer and make the table go up or down at certain times.

This would only be useful if you knew exactly who was using the table when they were using it, and their preferred house. This is a little extreme when it is so easy to adjust the height of the table with the simple push of a button.

What’s the Adjustable Height Table Made Of?

The frame of every Trandesk table is made from steel alloy. That makes it strong enough to support everything on your desk but light enough to allow you to move the table around when needed.

Naturally, the metal alloy is powder-coated to protect it from a variety of issues. This helps to ensure your new adjustable height table is a worthwhile investment.

The top of your table is not made from metal. Trandesk offers an array of stylish wooden finishes to ensure your adjustable table fits in with your current office decor and is easy to look after.

Are There Any Options Available To Customize the Table?

Does The Adjustable Table Need To be Bolted To The Wall or Floor?

In most cases, the answer is no. Trandesk adjustable tables are designed to be free-standing and can be situated anywhere in the room. Obviously, if you choose to purchase electric adjustable tables you will need to be near an electrical outlet.

The one exception to this rule is when you purchase a single-leg wall mount table. This may need to be bolted to the wall to ensure stability in use.

Of course, it is possible to bolt any of the tables to the floor if you wish. But, they are designed to be sturdy regardless of at what height you are using them.

Why Does My Adjustable Height Table Have A Wobble?

The most common reason for an adjustable height table to have a wobble is because your floor is not even. You may not realize this until you get the table but it is definitely the first thing you should check.

If the floor is fine then the next thing to check is the table. Make sure that all the pieces are bolted properly together. If bolts aren’t properly fastened the table can wobble, especially when you adjust the height.

Of course, some adjustable tables wobble because they don’t have a cross-support. This isn’t an issue with Trandesk tables.

In rare cases, the electric motors can need to be recalibrated to re-balance the table. It’s a simple procedure that Trandesk can talk you through.

It should be noted that all Trandesk products are third-party tested, ensuring you shouldn’t find any issues with them, including a wobble.
