Digital Express Sharing Part 68: How to choose an electric adjustable table, from material to function, this article will tell you thoroughly｜The actual experience of Zhixin solid wood electric adjustable table

Zhaohua has created many articles on engineering chairs, and it is mentioned in them that engineering chairs, lifting tables, and monitor stands are proper artifacts, which can effectively relieve physical fatigue when combined, especially for creators who often sit at their desks. Saying it is even more necessary. The monitor stand can save desktop space, and different pitch angles can also be suitable for different viewing needs, while the combination of engineering chairs and lifting tables can better meet the needs of users of different shapes and heights, and the sitting feeling is more comfortable while sharing body pressure. Switching between sitting and standing can also maintain a healthy physical fitness.

In this article, I want to share with you my personal views on electric height-adjustable desks, talk about how to buy height-adjustable desks, and which functions are just needed. Let’s take this smart core electric height-adjustable desk as an example.

Before deciding to buy an electric adjustable table, first ask yourself if you really need it. I have personally summarized the following scenarios. You can sit on the table according to your number. If you have these needs, it’s okay to enter.

1. For those who often need to write at their desks, sitting often puts a lot of pressure on the spine. Switching to an electric lifting table can switch between standing and sitting postures at any time, which can relieve physical pressure and avoid belly fat.

2. The height of the desk and chair does not match, or the individual is taller, and the desk needs to meet his own needs (the height of common desks is fixed, about 70-75 cm).

3. When shared by multiple people, the adjustable desktop can meet the height requirements of different users.

4. Children grow fast, and the electric table can meet the height needs of different age groups.

5. Users with special scene needs, such as light exercise while sitting

If you think you just have this need, or plan to buy a new desk, then the electric desk is undoubtedly an excellent choice. Zhaohua has tried 5 or 6 types of electric desks before and after, and he has a little experience about this. Let me talk with you from several aspects.

The essence of the electric lifting table is a desk, and the material of the desktop is similar. Composite panels are the mainstream material, while solid wood (pine, rubber wood, black walnut, etc.) The patterns and numbers of the bamboo and wood countertops do not match well, and the leather surface is often expensive, and there is a problem of leather aging after a long time.

▼Composite board is the usual material for middle and low-end desks. There is a misunderstanding here. Many people think it is not good when they hear composite board. In fact, the current composite board technology is very mature, and its wear resistance and scratch resistance are far superior to solid wood. No smell at all.

▼The solid wood desktop is the first choice for users who pursue quality. For example, my smart core electric table is made of rubber wood imported from Thailand, which is wrapped with North American walnut wood surface. The overall thickness is 3cm, which is thick enough to be seen by the naked eye.

▼A 45° corner is made on the edge, the visual experience is excellent, and the details of the craftsmanship are also remarkable.

▼The texture of the desktop is super distinctive. The black walnut-colored mountain patterns are spliced ​​in three stages. The textures are deep and light, and the colors are thick and light. Seeing such a desktop seems to make me feel a lot more beautiful when I am working at my desk.

▼The texture itself has a certain aesthetic feeling, coupled with the rendering of color, the texture of the entire desktop is quite excellent. If you are like me and often need to take photos with a strong sense of desktop atmosphere, then such a desktop background color is a perfect match.

▼1400 X 700 (mm) wide desktop, you will not feel restrained when using it, and it is no problem to set up a dual-screen desktop. This electric table has two sizes of 1.4m and 1.6m. If conditions allow, try to choose the one with a larger tabletop, and the experience will be much more comfortable. If it were not for the environmental constraints, I would directly consider the 1.8m red oak height adjustable table.

▼Dimmed lighting can easily render a sense of atmosphere.

Electric lift tables rely on the lower motor to drive the lifting function, so the performance of the motor determines the user experience of the entire table. At present, single motor/dual motor is the mainstream.

Single motor: It is fixed on one side of the table leg, and the other table leg is driven to lift through the transmission rod in the middle. The motor is usually exposed to the outside and affects the appearance, but it is cost-effective.

Dual motors: Each table leg has a motor, which does not require a transmission shaft, so it is wrapped inside the table legs, which is more beautiful and simple. In addition, the dual motors have stronger load-bearing capacity, and the lifting speed is faster and more stable.

Like I used a single motor when using a single-screen display before, there is nothing wrong with daily use. Later, I started working with two screens and playing with desks. When there were too many heavy objects on the table, I felt that the single motor was a bit powerless. I also used a monitor stand. When it was raised and lowered, the cantilever would shake tremblingly. , which is also the main reason why I switched to dual motors later.

In summary, if the budget is not large or the desktop is not heavy, a single motor can fully satisfy. If the budget is sufficient or the subsequent scene conversion is considered, try to choose dual motors in one step.

▼Smart Core electric table is driven by dual motors, and uses the integrated structure of Timotion (Timotion) motor and control box from Taiwan Province of China. Friends who are more familiar with electromechanical should know that Timotion is the leader in electric linear actuator systems. Its products are widely used in medical, office, and home fields, and many industrial systems also use this brand. With the efficient cooperation of the motor and the power box, it can bring a more efficient, greater load-bearing, and quieter linear transmission experience to the lifting table.

▼The biggest shaking of the adjustable table actually comes from the moment of start/stop. This shaking is not caused by the motor, but the switching between motion and stop. This shaking is more obvious for suspended objects.

▼Dual-motor electric lift table can provide double the power, and the noise is much smaller than that of a single motor, and it can be fully sealed independently, with a higher degree of beauty.

▼The smart core electric table itself is a dual-motor structure, coupled with timotion (TiMotion) linear transmission technology, the table top rises and falls extremely stable. From this angle, when observing the horizontal plane, there is almost no fluctuation when moving, only the water surface shakes caused by inertia when it stops. This slight wobble can be almost completely ignored during use.

▼In terms of load-bearing capacity, the 120 catties Zhaohua + monitor + notebook + host + a pile of sundries, the lifting process is stable and smooth, and the professional brand endorsement really brings a different and excellent experience. One more thing, timotion's motors have passed the safety test and inspection of UL in the United States, and the five-year warranty ensures peace of mind.

▼In terms of safety, the smart core electric table has functions such as power-off protection and rebound when encountering obstacles. It will automatically start when it encounters obstacles during the lifting process. The armrests of our chairs are often located under the tabletop, and the lifting table will automatically rebound when it hits the armrests, which is enough to ensure the peace of mind.

The legs of the table are the main part of the force, and the reliable material is the top priority, followed by the shape.

Let’s look at the structure first. T-shaped is the current mainstream, with even load bearing. The so-called special-shaped table legs are actually just a variant of T-shaped. The force structure has not changed, mainly due to some visual optimization and functional improvements. For example, it can avoid the error reporting caused by the bottom hanging in the air after the sweeper climbs up, and the visual impact is stronger. Generally speaking, this kind of table legs of the opposite sex tend to be more expensive.

Table legs usually have two or three sections. Three-section table legs have a wider lifting range and stronger stability. Three-section legs are preferred.

In terms of material, the mainstream table legs are mostly made of steel, and cold-rolled steel and carbon steel are the preferred steels that have been processed and have better stamping performance.

The structure is divided into front/reverse installation, the front is thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top, and the reverse is thinner at the bottom and thicker at the top. The front mount has a large contact area and higher stability, and the reverse mount is suitable for a large desktop, but it is easy to cause imbalance due to the problem of the center of gravity. If there is no special requirement, formal table legs are preferred.

▼The lifting height of the two-section legs is usually between 690 ~ 1200 (mm), and the formal three-section legs like the Zhixin Electric Table can be adjusted in height from 660 ~ 1310 (mm), which undoubtedly better meets the height needs of different users .

▼When placed at the lowest position, it can be flat or even slightly lower than the armrest of the chair. If you like, you can even put your arms completely on the table. The advantages of the wide table are at a glance. It is absolutely practical for users whose chairs cannot adjust the height.

▼The high-strength cold-rolled steel used for the table legs of Zhixin electric table has anti-rust layer/baking paint layer/nano spray paint and other processes on the surface, which is solid and solid visible to the naked eye. The color of the coating is uniform without the roughness of the industry, and it is very harmonious with the home atmosphere.

▼It is very interesting that in order to completely improve the incongruity between the steel and the home environment, the table legs are specially made with Italian-style leg guards. The material is saddle leather with a unique leather texture. The yellow twill stitching has its own beauty, and the visual experience is high-end, and the skin contact will not bring cold feeling. In addition, this layer of leggings also has a certain degree of protection, and users with children should be able to get this selling point.

The first three points are the hardware foundation of the electric table, and the function is mainly reflected in the convenience of use.

▼Mainstream electric desks are equipped with a separate control panel, which can be fixed to the corresponding position according to your usage habits. Some high-end electric desks are also specially equipped with an LCD screen on the desktop. From personal experience, the ordinary control panel is the most practical and does not take up space on the desktop. For example, Zhixin Electric Table.

▼The controller has a backlight display, and the height adjustment is clear at a glance. The number keys on the right can be used to preset the height, and different heights can be set for a single scene or for different users. It is convenient and quick to use with one key. The child lock function is also an essential option, which can avoid unsafe hidden dangers caused by children's curiosity and random pressing.

▼The smart core electric table is also thoughtfully equipped with two USB charging ports on the side of the controller, so that smart devices can be charged here.

▼The storage of the electric table has not been mentioned in many related articles. Am I the only one who thinks this function is very useful? There are so many power supplies for monitors, notebooks, desk lamps, and various devices, it’s impossible to connect them all to other areas. The best way is to use a wire board to gather all the power supplies and then fix them under the electric table.

▼The storage function of most electric tables is not in place, and needs to be improved by separate accessories, such as wire storage slots, storage slots, and even wiring slots that make external power cables look more beautiful.

▼I happen to have an under-desk storage trough I bought a long time ago, just fix it directly, but for the sake of beauty, I put a separate cable management trough. It can be seen that the storage slot can integrate the power supply and various sockets together, which is not only beautiful, but also follows the desktop up and down without worrying about the equipment being pulled.

▼The current monitors are all powered by external power supply. It is really inconvenient to not have a storage slot. It is much more convenient like mine, and you don’t have to worry about pulling the wires when lifting.

By the way, Zhixin electric table is the only electric table that I have enjoyed door-to-door installation so far. Although this is a simple service, it is really considerate for girls or the elderly. After all, it is all solid wood and all steel, so it is difficult to turn over, so it is more convenient to have a young man to assist.

The above are the main points about the purchase of electric adjustable desks summarized by Zhaohua. Strictly speaking, an electric desk is definitely not a necessity, but the change of sitting and standing postures can indeed greatly improve body functions. If you, like Zhaohua, often sit in front of the computer for hours, Zhixin Electric Desk is a good choice.

PS, by the way, I recommend the latest seat to be an engineering chair. I have written a review of this one before. It looks good and feels comfortable to sit on. It is very suitable for use with an adjustable table.
