If you’re considering upgrading your workspace with an electric raisable desk, it’s worth taking the time to understand what separates a good one from a truly great one. The market is full of options, but not all desks are created equal, especially when it comes to how comfortable and suitable they are for daily use.
At HADO, we’ve spent over 30 years refining what a premium desk should be. Whether you’re working from a home office or setting up a hybrid workspace, this guide breaks down the key factors to consider when choosing an electric raisable desk that actually delivers on its promises.
- A Stable Desk at All Heights
One of the most overlooked (yet essential) features of any electric raisable desk is how stable it feels when in use, especially at full height. A desk that wobbles, sways or vibrates when typing can quickly become a daily frustration.
Look for:
- Solid steel frames (HADO desks are built with industrial-grade components)
- Wide leg bases and crossbars
- Weight-tested engineering that prevents movement
It’s not just about your comfort, but will affect how well you can focus and your overall experience.
- Quiet, Powerful Motors
A premium desk should feel effortless. That means smooth lifting with minimal noise. Cheap models often use underpowered or loud motors, which can become annoying over time, especially in shared spaces.
Our desks use low-noise electric motors, so they’re quiet to operate, but have the strength to lift significant weight. You should expect a seamless transition between sitting and standing, without jolts or hesitation.
Check for:
- Decibel rating of the motor (under 50 dB is ideal)
- Lifting speed (measured in mm/second)
- Dual motor systems for enhanced balance
- Weight Capacity
An electric desk shouldn’t struggle under the load of your monitors, speakers, and equipment. That’s why it’s important to check the maximum load capacity before buying. A strong desk isn’t just for heavier setups—it also improves motion consistency over time.
Tip: HADO’s electric raisable desks are engineered to handle heavy workloads effortlessly—ideal for professionals who use multiple screens or more substantial gear.
- Materials That Actually Last
This is where most desks on the market fall short. Many are made with cheap MDF, particleboard or laminated surfaces that scratch, warp, or peel after a few months of use.
At HADO, we use premium materials, like real wood, raw steel, and expertly finished components, which are both stylish and durable. Our raw steel desk collection in particular is a favourite among customers who want something unique, industrial, and solid.
Ask yourself:
- Will this still look good in five years?
- Is the top resistant to heat, scratches, and spills?
- Does the desk feel like a piece of furniture, or a flatpack compromise?
- Smart Features That Work for You
Our modern electric raisable desks come with many hand features. These include memory presets, USB charging ports, and cable management systems. Remember, quality matters more than quantity. You don’t want gadgets that break after a few months.
HADO desks include intuitive touch controls, programmable heights, and clean, clutter-free cable organisation that keeps your workspace streamlined and professional.
- Design That Matches Your Space
A desk is the centrepiece of any workspace, and it should reflect your style. Whether your home office is minimalist, industrial, rustic or modern, the right desk can transform the entire room.
Electric raisable desks don’t have to look clinical. Our collections offer plenty of options, from warm wooden surfaces to the bold, uncoated finish of raw steel. How they operate is vital, but style is what makes a space feel like yours.
- Fast, Reliable Delivery
Waiting weeks for your desk to arrive, or chasing down tracking updates, isn’t something you should have to deal with. One of our (many!) strengths is our fast delivery services. Since we have stock in the UK, we ship quickly, with full customer support throughout the process.
A well-made electric raisable desk is an investment, and no one wants to be left in limbo once they’ve placed their order.
- Customer Support That Actually Cares
Although it’s rarer, even the best products can run into issues. What matters is how a company handles them. HADO is known for our caring, knowledgeable support, whether you need help choosing a model, troubleshooting setup, or just want advice on the best configuration.
We treat every customer as if they’re our only one. That’s the benefit of buying from a team with decades of experience.
