Provides a durable structural base for the dual motors.

DesktopLaminated MDF

A tidy, resilient everyday surface, though not equivalent to solid wood or HPL.

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

One of the best-looking mainstream desks: softened corners, very clean frameless visual language, generous legroom and an intuitive OLED paddle. Tradeoff: less bracing means less ultimate stability.

LONGEVITY

10-year frame/motor warranty and manufacturer parts support; the top is competent engineered wood, not heirloom material.
