Quick answer
Assembling the CORE Dual Motor Desk takes about an hour with a second person. Focus on aligning the frame square and securing all bolts before attaching the tabletop.
Why dual-motor desks need careful assembly
The CORE Dual Motor Desk uses two motors to lift the frame smoothly at 40 mm/s. If the frame is not assembled square, the motors can strain or bind, leading to uneven movement or noise. Taking extra time on frame alignment prevents these issues.
Tools you will need
You need a Phillips-head screwdriver and the included hex key. A power drill with a hex bit can speed things up, but be careful not to overtighten. A soft blanket or cardboard on the floor protects the tabletop finish during assembly.
Assembly steps
- Unpack and organize parts: Lay out all components on a clean, soft surface. Verify you have the tabletop, two leg assemblies, crossbar, control box, motor cables, and hardware bag. Check that the tabletop size matches your order. Missing parts? Contact support before starting assembly.
- Attach the legs to the crossbar: Insert the crossbar into the brackets on each leg assembly. Use the provided bolts and hex key to secure them loosely. Do not fully tighten yet—you need room to adjust alignment. Common mistake: tightening bolts too early makes it hard to square the frame.
- Install the motor and control box: Mount the dual motor assembly onto the crossbar using the included screws. Route the motor cables along the frame channels and connect them to the control box. Ensure cables are not pinched or stretched. Check that the control box is accessible after the tabletop is attached.
- Square the frame: Measure diagonally from corner to corner of the leg assembly. Adjust until both diagonal measurements are equal. Then fully tighten all bolts on the legs and crossbar. A square frame prevents the desk from wobbling or binding when moving.
- Attach the tabletop: Place the tabletop upside down on a soft surface. Center the frame over it and align pre-drilled holes. Insert and tighten all screws from the hardware bag. Do not overtighten—this can strip the holes. Use a second person to hold the frame steady while you drive screws.
- Connect power and test: Plug the control box into a wall outlet. Press the up/down buttons to cycle the desk through its full 600–1250 mm range. Listen for unusual noises and check that both sides move evenly. If movement is uneven, recheck frame squareness and cable routing.
Product facts
-
CORE - Dual Motor Desk: The CORE Series Dual Motor Desk transitions between 600 and 1250 mm at 40 mm/s. This wide height range makes it suitable for both sitting and standing work, but the frame must be assembled square to ensure smooth, quiet travel.
