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.
