Branch Duo Standing Desk 36 Inches, White Base / Woodgrain Top

Pros

  • +A frameless base with no crossbar keeps the underside clear and the desk visually light
  • +The OLED control paddle adds collision detection, two memory presets and sit-stand reminders
  • +Published specifications put the Duo at 275 lb on dual motors, above the Vari rating
  • +A 10-year warranty naming frame, motors, electronics and desktop together
  • +The 36 by 24 inch footprint suits a small room or a shared office where 60 inches will not fit

Cons

  • The smallest surface in this comparison, and Branch sells the Duo in only two widths
  • About 20 inches of travel from a 28 inch starting height, the narrowest range of these four
  • The highest price per square inch of surface in this comparison
  • No independent outlet has reviewed the Duo; Work While Walking has covered only Branch's earlier standing desk
