When we talk about a table or desk for PC , we generally always think of furniture that may have one or other characteristics, but is always fixed. However, there are many reasons why you might want to have an electrically adjustable height table , so in this article we are going to tell you not only which ones are the best , but why you might want to buy one.
In the market you can find many tables that have adjustable height, but many of them involve a manual adjustment, that is, you would have to remove everything you have on top to move some stops and thus modify their height. In this article, on the contrary, we are going to talk about tables that have an electric motor that will do all the work, so that you will not even have to remove what you have on top to modify their height.
What do you want a table with adjustable height for?
Whether you are a gamer or a person who works at home, spending many hours sitting in front of the PC – no matter how much you get up from time to time and have an ergonomic chair – can have harmful consequences for your health; But of course, we are all aware of the obligations we have and “we must follow.” Having a height-adjustable table can help you cope with these problems, since at a certain point you can raise it to be able to literally work or play standing up.
This can provide great relief for your back, legs, and even arms, as it will allow you to be in a position that, while standing is more tiring than sitting, can have many benefits for your health. Obviously we do not tell you that you have to use the PC standing up, but circumstantially when you are tired of sitting, it can be a very convenient relief.
In addition to this, if you use the PC table for more than to play or work, it can be used to make meetings or presentations in a more comfortable way, or simply to lean back in the chair and enjoy a movie with a more comfortable height. .
Considerations when using these tables
When you decide on an adjustable height table there are some things that you should take into account, and the most important of them is undoubtedly the length and arrangement of the cables. Keep in mind that a table, as a general rule, is about 70 centimeters high in its lowest position but these tables allow you to adjust its height up to more than 120 cm in some cases. In other words, when mounting a PC and monitors we will have to have about 50 cm to spare in the cables so that when raising the table, it does not disconnect or hit.
The second consideration you must have is that the table must have an anti-collision safety system; With this we want to tell you that if, for example, when lowering the table it collides with the armrests of the chair, do not keep trying to go down and we end up having an accident, but be able to detect this and stop going down.
Finally, there is a third consideration to take into account and that is that you have to be careful with the maximum weight that the table supports according to the manufacturer’s specifications. It must be borne in mind that in this case we are not talking about a conventional table with its resistance, but that we have in our hands a motor that has to raise the weight of the table itself and everything we have on it, so it is a parameter that you will have to pay attention to very well.
