How to Convert a Fixed Desk to an Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk with Ergomotion Australia?

If youโ€™re spending long hours at your desk, switching to a height-adjustable standing desk can improve your comfort, posture, and productivity. The good news is that you donโ€™t have to buy an entirely new deskโ€”you can convert your existing fixed desk into an electric height-adjustable workstation with Ergomotion Australiaโ€™s high-quality desk components. Hereโ€™s how you can do it.

1. Assess Your Current Desk

Before making any changes, evaluate your existing desk to determine if it can accommodate an electric height-adjustable frame. Consider:

  • The weight and structure of the tabletop
  • The dimensions and shape to ensure compatibility with Ergomotionโ€™s desk frames
  • Whether you need to remove or modify existing legs, supports or equipment around the desk

2. Choose the Right Ergomotion Desk Frame

Ergomotion Australia offers a range of electric height-adjustable desk frames designed to fit different desk sizes and shapes and user needs. Look for features such as:

  • Single, dual or triple motors for smooth, quiet adjustments
  • Memory settings for preferred height positions
  • Weight capacity to support your current tabletop
  • Compatibility with your workspace dimensions

3. Remove the Old Desk Legs

To install your new height-adjustable frame, you will need to detach the old desk legs or supports. Use the appropriate tools to unscrew and remove them carefully. Ensure the tabletop remains undamaged and is placed on a protective surface during this process.

4. Install the Ergomotion Adjustable Frame

Follow the manufacturerโ€™s instructions to assemble and install the Ergomotion electric desk frame. Key steps include:

  • Positioning the frame correctly to align with your tabletop
  • Securing the frame to the tabletop with screws
  • Ensuring the frame is level and stable

5. Connect the Electrical Components

All of Ergomotion height-adjustable frames are motorized systems that require a power connection. Follow these steps:

  • Attach the control panel to the underside of the desk
  • Connect the motor cables as per the instructions
  • Plug the power cord into a nearby outlet and test the height adjustment functionality

6. Organize Your Cables

To maintain a clean and clutter-free workspace:

  • Use cable trays or clips to manage wires
  • Secure excess cables with Velcro straps or cable ties
  • Position power outlets conveniently to avoid stretching cables

7. Test and Adjust for Comfort

Once installed, adjust the desk height to find your ideal ergonomic position. Use memory settings (if available) to save your preferred standing and sitting heights. Ensure your monitor is at eye level and your keyboard is positioned for comfortable typing.

8. Enhance Your Workstation

To make the most of your new setup, consider adding ergonomic accessories such as:

  • Cable trays to tidy all the cables
  • A monitor arm for adjustable screen positioning
  • An ergonomic chair for when you need to sit

So happy with my new sit/stand desk. The price was very competitive and the quality is excellent. It's very unusual these days to have the level of human to human customer service Guy offered, from the time of ordering all the way to installation. Guy delivered my desk on time, put it together, set up my computer and tidied away the cables. Such a nice person, and a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.

My brother in lawโ€™s glowing recommendation of the ergomotion sit- stand desk that he has been using for a few years now, and specially the service that Guy delivers, piqued my interest. And now I am convert!

From the moment I first interacted with Guy to the day my standing desk arrived, Iโ€™ve been nothing short of impressed. The booking process was incredibly smooth and hassle-free - Guy made everything so simple and straightforward. His customer service was top-notch, with clear communication and genuine helpfulness made the overall process even more amazing. I appreciate how patiently he answered my questions and explained the care instructions for the wooden top.

For the product itself! The standing desk is a game-changer - the attention to detail, premium material used, beautiful design, smooth adjustment all transformed my home office. The craftsmanship is top-notch. What really sets this experience apart is how much I genuinely enjoy using the desk every single day. Would highly recommend!! Thank you ๐Ÿ™

Bought a standing desk after looking around at options. Solid wood and Linak frame so all around good quality. Assembly was simple with an electric screwdriver. Guy was very helpful and responsive.

Guy (the owner) delivered the desk and set it up quickly. He then gave me a lesson on how to use it and how to get the most out of it. Arrived on time and was absolutely lovely to deal with throughout the whole process. Highly recommend.

I bought an adjustable desk from Guy a couple of years ago, got great service and good price. Recently we had a tiny issue which could not be fixed over the phone. Guy was more than happy to come out and look at it 2 days later. All fixed! I really appreciated his patience with me and accommodating us so quickly. Great old fashioned service and piece of mind. I love it. I know where to get my second desk when needed. Thank you Guy. Jo Manning

Great service and really quick shipping. It is great to know that you are getting quality parts from a Scandinavian manufacturer with your standing desk purchase rather than the cheap knock off stuff you get from other major brands. Reasonably priced for the quality too!
