Standing Desks With Anti-Collision

Anti-collision standing desks: eight electric models from the Air and Oslo Air ranges that notice an obstruction on the way down. Prices from £413.

The bin, the pedestal, the box someone shoved underneath on Friday. This is the feature that spots them before the desktop does. Eight desks carry it, all electric. They cover the single sit stand desks in the Air and Oslo Air ranges, and the shared bench desks and workstations. Take the tick off and the wider desk range opens up again, manual frames included.

The safety stop sits in the control unit. It comes with the electric ranges rather than being added afterwards. With it ticked you can still work through width, depth, finish and frame colour, or put a ceiling on price. Price starts at £413 and reaches £915. If you want both legs driven independently as well, the dual motor tick is in the same group of filters.

Frequently asked questions

What is anti-collision safety?

A sensor that stops the desk when it meets something on the way down, usually a pedestal, a bin or a windowsill. It saves the desktop and whatever it met, and on a shared floor it is the feature most worth having.

Is it worth paying for?

On a desk that will be used properly, yes. These are the features that separate a desk people adjust daily from one that gets set once and left.

What about the cables?

They need slack for the full travel, and that is what people get wrong. Run everything into a tray or spine fixed to the desk, leave a generous loop and keep the wall socket close. A cable taut at standing height will unplug itself or pull something off the desk.

Is this page kept up to date?

It is a live cut of the catalogue rather than a hand-written list, so it always shows what we can actually supply today. There are 8 desks on it at the moment, from £413. Anything out of stock is hidden, so if you can see it and add it to a basket, we can get it.

How long does delivery take?

Standard delivery is free on everything, and most of it lands inside a week. Express delivery is offered on much of the range, priced per item on the product page, and gets an order to you within two working days if you place it before 5pm. Nothing here is made to order, so the lead times are the standard ones.

What warranty does it come with?

Each product carries the manufacturer's warranty and the period is stated on that product's page, often broken down by part: the structure for one length of time, the mechanism and the fabric for another. If something fails inside the warranty, report it from your order page and we deal with the manufacturer for you.

Can I see it in 3D?

Every one of the 8 products in this selection has a 3D model on the page rather than only photographs. The viewer spins the actual model, and changing a colour or a size on the page changes the model with it, which is worth doing before committing a whole room to a finish.

Can you quote for a whole office?

Yes. For twenty items or more, or anything with a complication like a mezzanine or a lift that argues back, we plan the job and give you one quote covering the goods, delivery and installation. Ring 0208 138 0512 or email [email protected] with a rough list or a floor plan.
