• That's a good point. My flexispot desk is rated to 100kg which seems like significant overkill for a desk with a monitor, laptop and NUC.

  • I have the Humanscale Float.

    It is rated for 75kg... and I've come close enough to the limit that I chose to remove the workstation from the desk.

    Speakers, monitor, webcam (camera + lens), keyboard, lighting, dock, microphone, and various mounts all add up to about 30kg.

    The computer though added another 20kg that I was hanging underneath.

    And the mass of power and cabling, also underneath, adds another 10kg (8 power sockets, several power adaptors, several USB hubs, and various runs of cable).

    And it turns out you just don't want to get close to the weight limits. This desk is a spring and counter-balance manual desk, with a featherweight lifting action. When it's 40KG loaded it's truly featherweight, but at 60kg loaded it was now heavy.

    100kg would seem like the perfect capacity for a sit/stand desk for my kinda of scenario - which is extreme. I think in practise you only want to be using max 1/2 of the weight capacity.
