What desktop thickness is best for a sit-stand desk?

Desktop thickness is a structural specification that directly affects the rigidity and longevity of your sit-stand investment. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, our standard laminate tops are 1" (25mm) particleboard or MDF core, while our premium commercial-grade options feature 1.25" triple-layer construction engineered to withstand daily lifting cycles without warping or delamination. For heavy-duty installations—dual monitors, audio equipment, or production workstations—we specify 1.25" minimum. Thinner tops may be acceptable for lighter applications but tend to develop flex over time. Call 1.800.460.0858 for specification guidance tailored to your equipment load.
