Emerge desks

Compare the leg systems

One leg from each system, traced from the makers’ 3D files and drawn to the same scale. The electric legs rise from their lowest to their highest setting; press pause or drag the slider to hold a position.

Slab end

Fixed height, 730 mm

A 25 mm panel end with the modesty panel bolted to it, on adjustable glides. Fixed at 730 mm; a static desk, so no load rating applies. The simplest system: it hides cables, legs and bags from the front and matches Emerge storage. Shown cut short, the modesty panel runs the full width.

Metal leg

Fixed height

One 50 × 80 steel column on a T-foot, fixed at 730 mm. Static desk, no load rating applies. Lighter than a slab end, open underneath, black or white frame, and the same frame as the back-to-back workstations.

Single motor

2 stage, 730 to 1170 mm, 80 kg

One motor under the beam turns a shaft into a gearbox on each column, and the inner section rises out of the outer. 730 to 1170 mm, rated to 80 kg: a laptop, one screen and the usual clutter. Three memory heights. The lowest priced way to stand.

Dual motor

2 stage, 730 to 1200 mm, 120 kg

Same two-section column, but a motor sits inside the top of each column: no shaft or gearbox under the beam and more lifting power. 730 to 1200 mm, rated to 120 kg, enough for two screens, a fitted drawer and a hutch. Controller with three memories plus USB-A and USB-C charging.

Drawn from the single motor column: no dual 2-stage frame file yet.

Dual motor, 3 stage

3 stage, Rapid Assembly, 630 to 1280 mm, 160 kg

Three nested sections with a motor inside each column; half the travel comes from the middle section, half from the top. 630 to 1280 mm, the widest range, rated to 160 kg for heavy setups. Rapid Assembly: the frame goes together in minutes and comes apart the same way for a move.

Column from the back-to-back frame file; that frame stands on glides, so the T-foot is borrowed from the straight desk frame.

Heights are worktop to floor, rounded to 10 mm. Drawings are a front view of one leg; the worktop is shown as a short stub.
