What type of desktop surface is best for a sit-stand desk?

The standard desktop for a sit-stand desk is MDF or particleboard with a high-pressure laminate surface — lightweight (25–40 lbs for a 60"x30" top), durable, and available in many finishes. Solid wood or butcher block tops are heavier (50–100 lbs) and reduce the effective payload capacity for equipment. Avoid glass tops — they are heavy, fragile under vibration, and reduce motor payload capacity. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, all our sit-stand desk tops are HPL laminate — call 1-800-460-0858.
