10 Year Limited Warranty
Your Charcoal Desk is covered by a limited, non-transferable warranty against defects in material or workmanship.
Guidelines:
- The warranty period begins the day your desk is delivered.
- When you receive the desk, please inspect the desk for defects in material and workmanship. The surface will be deemed clear of any defects if no issues are revealed by your inspection 3 days after you received the tabletop. Afterward, any minor scratches are deemed to be resulting from normal wear and tear.
- We will repair or replace, free of charge, any parts necessary to correct defects in materials or workmanship.
Warranty coverage does not apply to:
- - Normal wear and tear that occurs over time
- - Damage that’s caused by improper assembly or disassembly, improper cleaning supplies, customer modifications, misuse, abuse, or force majeure, such as fire, hurricanes, or floods.
Applicable Warranty Periods
Our 10-year warranty applies to:
- Metal frame.
- Desk top surface.
Our 5-year warranty applies to:
- All electronic and electrical components, including the motors.
The motors/columns we are using are the Danish brand Linak's DL6 Plus model. These are the best in the world. In terms of weight capacity, durability, noise generated, movement speed, aesthetics, etc, Linak’s columns are far superior when compared to that of Chinese suppliers such as Jiecang (which are found in other desks), and marginally better than offerings of American and other European companies such as Logic Data and Actiforce.
But while Chinese companies are offering 10-year warranty, Linak only offers 5. That's just their policy and it doesn't reflect the product quality. If Chinese vendors are confident their motors will last 10 years, we can be fairly certain Linak's will last much longer.

The brain has a stress threshold;
exceeding it causes burnout and

within the limit, the brain recovers

The desk finds these critical

We ran a study to investigate the
effect of breaks and sleep duration
on cognitive performance. The
results are groundbreaking. Read
our white paper to learn why the
brain needs calibrated breaks
in the day as much as it needs
sleep at night.

Taking a break before or after the
healing window does not aid recovery.
When a break is delayed, excessive
stress hormones prevent recovery.
And when a break is taken early, the
brain is just not wired to recover, it
continues to be active, and therefore
a break again becomes necessary
during the healing window.

FAQs
Does this have everything I need from a typical standing desk?
Yes. The features expected from the best standing desks are the ability to save presets, an integrated collision sensor, and high-quality three-stage, dual-motor columns that are fast and noiseless. The Charcoal Desk has all of these, along with unparalleled build quality brought to life in an award-winning design.
How is the crystal acrylic better than a wood/laminate top?
- Solid wood scratches and chips off easily, and its varnish will fade over time, resulting in a worn or aged appearance. These issues make solid wood furniture less durable and less visually appealing in the long term. In contrast, crystal acrylic is an exceptionally strong material with a shore hardness of D94, which makes it highly resistant to wear and tear. Its clear finish will not fade, ensuring your desk looks as fresh as the day you bought it.
- Solid wood requires a lot of maintenance, as it can be affected by factors such as sunlight, temperature changes, termites, moisture, and spills. In contrast, crystal acrylic requires no maintenance at all and can be used freely without worrying about these issues.
- Crystal acrylic has an incredible texture. It feels so much softer under your hands than wood. It’s a much better surface to work on if you work for hours at a time.
Can I mount a monitor arm to the desk?
Yes. The desk is compatible with all kinds of monitor mounts.
Which size do I get?

What’s special about the Linak DL6 Plus motor & standing column?
A standing desk’s most important components are the lifting columns, which house the motors. Nearly all standing desks in the market have lifting columns that are made in China and these aren’t nearly as good as Linak’s columns, which are manufactured in Denmark. Chinese columns tend to have shorter lifespans, create more noise during use, have slower switching speeds, and potentially lower weight capacities. (Linak can take up to 300 lbs).
Can I assemble the desk on my own? Will I need additional tools?
Yes, it’s easy to assemble the desk by yourself. The process should only take around 15 minutes and all the necessary tools are included with the desk. You won't need any additional equipment like screwdrivers or drill machines. However, you will need another person to help you flip the desk upright after it has been assembled.
What is the Red Dot Award?
The Red Dot Award is the most prestigious design award. It’s awarded to the most aesthetic and innovative products in the world. The Charcoal Desk won the award in 2021.
Other than the US, where else do you ship?
Presently, we only ship to USA & Canada. We are working on launching the product in parts of Europe and Asia.
How do I know if it will work well for my height?
If you’re anywhere between 5 feet tall and 7 feet tall, it will work for you. There are no standing desks in the market with greater range. The desk can switch between 560 mm at its lowest and 1200 mm at its highest.
Can I save my preferred height?
Yes. The desk allows you to save and recall presets.
Will I need to buy anything else for my wire management?
Every purchase includes a custom-made wire management tray that helps you manage your wires neatly. It’s been a huge hit among our customers!
How do I reach Charcoal for support?
Please reach out to us at support@charcoal.inc.
What is your return policy?
You can return the desk within 30 days of having received it. Email us at support@charcoal.inc and we’ll arrange for the return. In the email, please mention,
- Your order number
- Your full name
- The products being returned
Can my desk be assembled for me?
We presently do not offer assembly services. But we have worked extra hard to make the assembly process quick and easy.
What is the minimum and maximum height of the desk? What is the weight capacity?
Max height: 1200 mm
Min height: 560 mm
Max weight capacity: 300 lbs
Can I get the desk in a different color? Like a black version?
We currently don't have plans to offer the desk in any other colors.
Can I add casters to the leg?
We currently don't provide the option to add casters to the desk.
