Why Us? →

Single Motor

Best for occasional use or tight budgets. Limited load and slower lifting speed, with more noise. Suitable for student desks or small home offices.

Dual Motors

The most recommended choice. Higher load capacity, faster and smoother movement, and longer motor life. Ideal for daily work, dual-monitor setups, or long-term use.

Triple Motors

Designed for large L-shaped desks or professional studio environments (design, audio/video). Extremely stable and strong, but more expensive — a niche high-end option.

  • Prioritize stability & load ⟶ Dual Motor
  • Want a quiet experience ⟶ Dual Motor
  • Looking for long-term reliability ⟶ Dual Motor
  • Tight Budget ⟶ Single Motor
  • Using a large L-shaped desk or professional setup ⟶ Triple Motor
All 9am HOME desks come standard with dual motors, allowing users to skip low-end options and enjoy a more professional experience at a similar budget. Dual motors provide the best balance of stability, speed, and long-term reliability. They support multiple devices, run smoothly and quietly, and ensure years of consistent performance.
By making dual motors standard, 9am HOME ensures every user gets a premium, hassle-free experience—no compromise on comfort, efficiency, or durability.
Desk legs are like the skeleton of a standing desk. They need to be both sturdy and refined. No matter how good the desktop and motor are, if the legs are unstable, the overall experience falls short.

Leg Sections

Two-Stage Legs : Limited height range, usually for entry-level models. Suitable for users with lower height requirements or tighter budgets.

Three-Stage Legs : Greater height range, smoother motion, and wider adaptability. The mainstream choice for high-end desks.

Material

Cold-Rolled Steel : Strong load-bearing capacity, but less design flexibility. Tends to look bulkier.

Aluminium Die-Cast : More design freedom, supports streamlined aesthetics, and balances stability with durability.

Structural Design

Standard Leg (Wide At Bottom):
Follows natural mechanics. Stable and durable with a solid base and slimmer top. The most recommended design.

Inverted Leg (Wide At Top):
Narrower at the base, giving a top-heavy look and weaker stability.
(Not recommended)

Standard Leg vs Inverted Leg
  • Best stability & smooth lifting ⟶ 3-Stage Legs
  • Shared use by multiple family members ⟶ 3-Stage Legs
  • Premium look & refined feel ⟶ 3-Stage Legs with Die-Cast Aluminum
  • Compact desktops or light-duty work ⟶ 2-Stage Legs

Standard 3-Stage Tapered Legs

Ensures wider height range and superior stability (Robin is the only exception).

Standard 3-Stage Tapered Legs

User-Centered Experience

Every desk balances practicality and aesthetics for long-term daily use.

Premium Materials

Dora Pro & Atom Pro use die-cast aluminum legs for strength and refined design.

Who Will Use Your Standing Desk?
Is it for children, adults, or the whole family? This guides you to the right height range.
Quick Guide to Height
Adults
• Calculate from standing height : Your height - 65 cm = Required maximum desk height
Children
• Calculate from seated height: Your height - (70-75) cm = Required minimum desk height
For Shared Use with Children — Key Considerations
If the desk will be used by both adults and children, make sure it has child-friendly features:
Not all standing desks are designed with children in mind, so when choosing a desk for the whole family, extra attention should be given to safety and usability for kids.
Rounded edges and corners for safety
Environmental standard of E0 or higher
Child lock function
For Adults — Make Your Standing Desk Actually Work for You
Buying a standing desk
