How long does a sit-stand desk motor last?

Commercial-grade sit-stand desk motors are rated for 50,000–100,000+ cycles — roughly 20+ years at 10 transitions per day. The motor is rarely the first failure point; control panels and internal cables are more common. Commercial warranties on motors and frames are typically 5–10 years. Entry-level motors rated for 20,000–30,000 cycles may fail within 5–8 years of daily use.
