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.

top ever made.
Meet Crystal Acrylic, the ultimate
desk surface. Its velvet-smooth texture
makes this one of the best-feeling
materials in the world.
Why is Crystal Acrylic the best tabletop
material?
After evaluating scores of materials, we found this to be the ultimate desk surface. Here’s why.
Soft texture: It has a unique satin matte texture and a soft, velvety feel, quite similar to the Apple Magic Trackpad. Because it's so soft, you can comfortably keep your hands on it for hours at a time. Please take the material sample that's offered on our website to see for yourself.
Durability: Although it has a soft texture, Crystal Acrylic is far tougher than laminate and wooden tabletops. Its shore hardness rating of D-94 is much higher than the D-56 rating of wooden surfaces. This means it easily resists scratches and chip-offs.
Maintenance Free: It’s immune to stains, sun exposure, moisture, and termites. It also does not fade with time and will always look new.
Uniqueness: Despite its many benefits, Crystal Acrylic is only used in high-end home interiors and never used in furniture because of its high cost and the complex manufacturing processes involved. The material must be sourced from Italy and should go through multiple machining processes, followed by elaborate hand-finishing. This makes it very challenging for traditional furniture companies to use this material.
Can I get the desk in another color?
Presently, the Charcoal Desk only comes in white.
But if you’re wondering if the desk will match the rest of your
room, the answer is very likely yes. As white is such a timeless
color, we’ve seen it blend in everywhere - from warm interiors
with lots of wood to modern dark room aesthetics.
So even if
you were looking for a black desk, chances are that a white
one will work for you.

ENGINEERED TO PERFECTION
The new benchmark for
standing desks.
standing desks.
Is it the sturdiest
standing desk?
Absolutely. We tested desks from all
major brands, from the ones that cost
$599 to ones that cost more than $1500
and none of them is nearly as stable as
the Charcoal Desk.
The reason for this is
that other brands break up the metal
frame into smaller pieces to lower
material and shipping costs. But this
compromises the desk's stability
significantly.
We didn’t take this route.
We have one solid piece of metal that
runs throughout the length of our desk,
making it the sturdiest standing desk
there is.
Is it the quietest
and fastest?
Yes. The Charcoal Desk has the best
three-stage, dual-motor columns in
the world, the DL6 Plus from the Danish
manufacturer Linak. These are the
quietest and fastest.
Does it work for
every height?
Yes. It doesn't matter if you're 5
feet tall or 7 feet tall, the three-stage
columns have an extended height
range that works for everyone.
Can I save
height presets?
Yes, and it’s really easy. All you have
to do is hold the save button, and the
desk smartly maps your current height
automatically as a sitting or standing preset.
Does it have a
collision sensor?
Yes, the built-in piezo sensor allows
the desk to detect obstructions and
prevent accidents.

The desk helps you take effective breaks
exactly when your brain needs it.

I’m just looking for a standing desk.
Do I need this tech?
Yes!
You know those 2 or 3 hours every day when you’re at
peak productivity? By using the brain the way it’s meant
to be used, you can work like that throughout the day.
The desk helps you do this by precisely identifying
moments in the day when your brain naturally slows
down to rest and recharge and then reminds you to take
a break. When we recover during these crucial healing
windows, we allow the brain to replenish fuel and clear
out metabolic wastes. This works like coffee, but
without the crash.
Also, the productivity tech adds little to the price.
So the Charcoal Desk costs what it does solely because
of the build quality and materials.
Taking breaks at the right times is the
key to working at your absolute best. When you recover when the desk
reminds you, you prevent the buildup
of stress hormones and allow your
brain to replenish fuels. This is how
your brain is designed to be used.

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.

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?
