The Recken
Recken is the powered standing desk for heavier, equipment-rich workspaces. Electric motors in both legs move up to 240 lb, while the preset control pad returns to preferred heights across a 25.5–51 in range.

Return to the height that works.
Press the control pad and let Recken do the moving. Presets bring the work surface back to the sitting and standing heights you use most, so changing position becomes part of the day instead of another adjustment to manage.
Save the positions you use most. Electric motors handle the movement while electronic leveling keeps both legs coordinated.
Power for the setups that ask more of a desk.
Motors in both legs lift the work surface and equipment together while a control box keeps the frame level. Recken moves up to 240 lb through a 25.5–51 in height range, giving substantial workstations push-button adjustment.
Made for heavier, consistent setups
The 240 lb moving-load rating is separate from the 350 lb structural limit. Add the work surface and every piece of equipment when checking the moving load; neither figure should be treated as an equipment allowance by itself.
When electric is the better fit.
Recken trades outlet-independent placement for push-button movement, saved heights, and a higher moving-load rating. Choose it when a fixed powered workstation and repeatable presets matter more than hand-guided adjustment.

Two capacities. One important distinction.
Recken lifts up to 240 lb while moving and has a separate 350 lb structural limit. Its 25.5–51 in range includes the standard work surface.
Casters add 1.5 in to the desk height. Nominal 30 × 48 and 30 × 60 in surfaces measure 29 × 47 and 29 × 59 in; measure the room and your equipment before ordering.

Five finishes across two full-size surfaces.
Choose the 30 × 48 in surface for a more compact powered workstation or 30 × 60 in when you want additional room for equipment and documents.
Walnut is a laminate finish, not hardwood. Images are representative, and color or grain can shift with lighting.
Laminate finishes
Every laminate finish is available with both Recken work-surface sizes.
Two boxes. About 15 minutes.
The frame and work surface arrive in separate boxes. Allen wrenches are included; supply a screwdriver and allow about 15 minutes for assembly before connecting the control box and power cord.

The Recken customer reviews

Build the powered workspace you need.
Choose Recken when presets, a broad height range, and up to 240 lb of moving capacity make more sense than hand-guided adjustment.
Which work-surface size should I choose?
The nominal 30 × 48 in surface measures 29 × 47 in and keeps the footprint more compact. The nominal 30 × 60 in surface measures 29 × 59 in and provides more room for equipment and documents.
How much weight can Recken move?
Recken has a 240 lb dynamic lifting capacity. Count the work surface and all equipment together. The separate 350 lb structural capacity is a stationary limit, not the amount the motors are rated to lift.
What if Recken is not right for me?
Try Recken for 30 days. If it is not the right fit, we cover return shipping and help coordinate the return. The desk also includes a five-year limited warranty.
