EDIT: Also forgot to mention that the desk and motors has 10 years warranty where others only has 3-5 years was another reason i brought it.

G'day OzBargainers, was shopping around for a sit/stand desk for WFH, originally was looking at the Omni Desk 1800mm but was costing me an arm and leg. After browsing around for days found these mobs (Retail Display Direct) who sold office furniture and accessories. I was skeptical at first due to the price for a 1800mm desk with dual motors (thought is was cheap and nasty). After further research found that these guys were supplying to major retailers, government offices you name it. So i took the plunge and purchased it last Friday and received the desk yesterday 10/08/2020 (Very fast delivery). First impression on the packaging for the table top was A+, all corners of the packing was protected with hard plastic covers to take the harsh punishment of the courier drivers. Assembling was straight forward, Table frame is sturdy and great quality/build (feels heavy duty) motor is very quiet compared to others i have used. All up this desk has surpassed my expectations. Was going to post earlier but thought i'll be the guinea pig and test out before recommending on OzBargain. RRP $899.

They also have other sizes and colours. You can also get a standing mat to go with your desk for $47.20 with code "MAT30"

    I'm not sure if it's just the photo, but the surface looks kinda strange. Like a slightly rough plastic. How does it feel? Just like a normal melamine desk?

    • tcoates on 11/08/2020 - 10:18

      Features say its a "Scratch resistance melamine finish MFC board". I would be interested to know if this is similar to the Varidesk Material.

    • trankillity on 11/08/2020 - 10:21

      Also, how is the wobble/component rattle when extended? Having 3 segments for the height adjustment seems good for range, but adds in more points of wobble/rattle.

      • tamzie28 on 11/08/2020 - 10:27

        I currently have it up @ 110cm and while typing it has the slightest wobble, but this could be me cause its on carpet and i haven't adjusted and balanced. No rattle.

        • lily99 on 11/08/2020 - 14:17

          would your legs bump on the motor when you sit down? I read reviews on the Officeworks table, which has the issue.

          • tamzie28 on 14/08/2020 - 21:09

            @lily99: The motors are built into the legs so no chance of bumping on your knees.

        That's what I was afraid of. More plasticy than normal. Bummer! Thanks for letting me know.

        • tamzie28 on 11/08/2020 - 10:39

          No probs, just an idea; you can always wrap it in wood grain vinyl if you don't like the colour/texture.

          They also sell the stand on their own, you could get that and slap your own top on it like an Ikea Karlby

            +1

            @Fergy1987: Very true. $480 for just the mechanism isn't bad. Gets up there in terms of price with a decent top like the Karlby though. Could just go with a Zen Space Desk for similar price.

            • YellowEarthAustralia on 11/08/2020 - 16:40

              @trankillity: Just bought the frame, thanks OP! Been looking at Omnidesk but they were a bit expensive.

              Now to find the right table top.

              Ikea Karlby looks good, but so does the Gerton for almost half the price.

              Otherwise Bunnings for $48

                @YellowEarthAustralia: When I was thinking about buying a base and top seperate, I was looking at this: https://chairforce.com.au/product/rafael-walnut-hardwood-rec…

                Kinda on the expensive side, but 30mm walnut and commercial grade seems alright - just depends if it suits your colour scheme

                • Arcanity on 28/08/2020 - 18:15

                  @DeToxin: That looks beautiful - did you end up getting the walnut top in conjunction with the frame in this deal? If so, how easy was it to attach?

                    @Arcanity: Decided to go the easy route and got a base + top from another place. Still thinking about a nicer desktop down the road but this will do for now

                      @DeToxin: Where did you end up purchasing from? I am still waiting to pull the trigger, so would be interested to see what/who you went with.

                      • DeToxin on 29/08/2020 - 10:58

                        @tcoates: Zenspace desks. A bit more expensive than this group but I had already ordered when I found this deal. Zenspace desks are getting tonnes of orders at the moment so some stuff is out of stock and takes a while to arrive. Desk seems pretty good so far. To be honest I think pretty much all of the dual motor lifting systems use the same parts from China - just check the lifting capacity, anything over 100kg will probably be the same. I mainly chose zenspace desks because of their 10yr warranty

                          @DeToxin: Thanks mate, appreciate you taking the time to comment. Do you notice any wobble when it is at an extended height? Do you have to hold down the preset height button for the desk to go up or down or can you just press it and it will do the rest? And if you dont mind, what size and model did get purchase? Cheers.

                    • Arcanity on 31/08/2020 - 12:21

                      @DeToxin: No worries at all - I'm still thinking it through, but read those later comments about the Danish Linak mechanisms vs something like the one in this deal or the Zendesk and am now conflicted as to whether getting a higher quality option is worth it. I reckon I'll end up making the same decision as you for the time being, though.

      • jetabe on 11/08/2020 - 15:18

        I recently bought this off ebay. it was surprisingly good quality and fast delivery.

        They have many others plus its a physical store in NSW called mytopia or something

    This is actually a good deal assuming it is solid and not wobbly and the table top is half decent.
    I purchased a dual motor frame 120-180cm for $400, slapped on a 160mm ikea bekant for $120 and am quite happy. (right before covid price jacking/ OOS happened)

    • snippy on 11/08/2020 - 11:12

      you purchased this frame for 400? Where did you get the frame from?
      I might do the same thing :)

      • charzy on 11/08/2020 - 11:16

        This was at the end of March. I ordered mine as my company were one of the first to adopt WFH very early, so prices weren't jacked/OOS.
        It was the artiss brand dual motor, they were available on amazon and myer market. Both were OOS very quickly after I purchased, I havne't checked since then.

    • JoKing on 11/08/2020 - 11:35

      Was putting on your own tabletop easy to do? Just bought some screws and drilled them in or?

      • charzy on 11/08/2020 - 12:05

        Table frame usually comes with the screws. I had a drill driver and drill bit to drill pilot holes and drive the screws in. Wasn't too bad.
        I ended up putting the table top bottom side up, assemble frame upside down onto the table top then drill them in. Doing it this way makes it easier to align the table top as perfectly to the frame.
        Had a second person to help carefully flip it back to standing position.

        • JoKing on 11/08/2020 - 12:06

          Yeah okay, doesn't sound too hard - provided you have a drill.
          I'm looking at the manual wind IKEA stand/sit desk, but I think the table top is bad quality so replacing it may work well for me.

          • charzy on 12/08/2020 - 11:29

            @JoKing: If you don't mind ikea tablettop, I imagine you can switch different models of frames with their table tops

    • CyberMurning on 11/08/2020 - 13:45

      • charzy on 11/08/2020 - 14:08

        Spec wise it looks similar but not the same brand. Doesn't look bad, if it's sturdy it'll be a good buy.

    • terahammer on 11/08/2020 - 10:49

      How is the 1500x700 from officeworks? Actually been eyeing it and started to do measurements in my office room.

      • Osiris on 11/08/2020 - 11:24

        Surprisingly solid, no noise, little wobble even up high. Wish they had a 1800 version but have to jump up to different model and pay $700+ instead (although you do get dual motor).

        • mwahahaha on 11/08/2020 - 16:41

    I'm on the lookout for an adjustable desk just because I am 163cm tall and every office desk is way too tall for me and I hate footrests….This may fit the bill. Do you think it would take a monitor arm with a clamp style fitting?

      Same with calcium, I also got the IKEA desk a few year ago. It was the only one I could find at the time that can go to as low as 65cm (except for a few ebay listings). Most of other desks can only go to 72-73cm.

    For those ordering depending on where your computer sits think about cables you might eg I needed a longer display port cable to be able to reach the pc when in standing position.

    • Chazzozz on 11/08/2020 - 11:58
      +1

      Also, if you have a powerpoint directly behind it ensure you pull the desk out far enough so it clears any plugs that are inserted while raising and lowering. It's a rude shock when you accidentally rip 'em all out the first time you raise or lower the desk. You'll also find out very quickly how fragile some power packs are. (Yes, that's the voice of hard experience talking…)

    • PurchaseAnxiety on 11/08/2020 - 14:11

      Yeah I also had to get a longer display port cable, plus my power board is somewhat tediously balanced on a small upside down bin to give all cables some extra slack.

      • Chazzozz on 11/08/2020 - 14:33
        +2

        Before I changed locations I had a sit/stand desk in the previous office. What I did was get some velcro and attached a powerboard to the underside of the desk. The metal bar that ran across the width of the desk and which the top was attached to had just enough space that I could slide the velcro strapping between it and the desktop, and then wrapped that around the power board to hold it up. It meant the plugs were facing downwards so heavy power packs (like my MacBook's) would be in danger of falling out, so I just used it for devices that only needed a regular mains power cable.

  • portard on 11/08/2020 - 11:55

      I was thinking that when i first looked at it, but after sitting in front with my chair it made sense, the arm rest doesn't dig into the desk like it did with my old desk and left scruff marks. Just my opinion.

      Hi, Can't really vouch for omnidesk pro as i don't own one but based on quality, build and functionality i'd say its a like for like without the premium price tag. The table frame and legs are very sturdy and heavy duty also very easy to assemble (all tools included if you don't have a powered drivers) and what caught my attention is the 10 years warranty where ominidesk requires you to take a photo and post it online to give you 5 years from their standard 3 years warranty. I think omnidesk is over-hyped like secretlab chairs with their hyped ads and premium price tags. All in all for what i need it for is just right.

      Motor moves fast and smooth and quiet.

      P.S. if you need under desk cable management you can get one form Ikea for under $20 bucks.

      Frame looks skinny and can only hold 100Kgs.

Just my opinion.

                @snippy: well the motors are in the legs and there are connections from both of them. So looks like its an dual motor.

    This seems better quality and heavy compared to this. Heavier desk means less wobbly at higher position. From Australian company rapid furniture.

      this point is so true:
      Most average models will have a height adjustment range from 720m to 1200mm. Whilst this is usually not a problem for most users, it does create issues if you're above or below average height. If you are shorter than average or considering using the desk for kids, focus on the lower range. Similarly, if you are taller than average, focus on the higher range. A good Height Adjustable Range would be 645mm to 1255mm.

      It's $729 for 1800mm and $59 shipping if anyone was wondering.

      I want to know this as well, anyone got an update of how sturdy and wobbly this item is?

    does this electric desk come white, or only black?

      Yes you can, it comes all black or white (frame+tabletop) or you can mix. Check on their website for variation.

        I bought the frame in black, and an Ikea SALJAN top, going to set up on the weekend
