Height Range
The height range of the MojoDesk standing desk is 24” to 51” This provides a comfortable position for the user who is up to 6' 6" tall…but the lower setting is also quite comfortable for the shorter worker who is 4'11".
The front edges of all MojoDesks are beveled for a comfortable, irritation-free working experience. Forearms and wrists are kept at the correct ergonomic position when typing.

Stability and Weight Limits
MojoDesk's design is independently tested and ALL sizes and shapes of desks are rated for up to 300 pounds for stability and safety and meets BIFMA standards. And this is without the need of a crossbar on our 48", 60", and 72" wide models. Varidesk is rated for 200 pounds the 48" version and 250 pounds for the 60" version.
No Crossbar Needed
As mentioned, MojoDesk does have, or need, a crossbar to meet BIFMA standards. and requires a crossbar to help meet stability requirements to limit bounce and shake. The addition of a crossbar means there is not much leg space, and your movement will be limited. It also restricts the type of storage options you can put under the desk.
Additional Testing Details: The VariDesk crossbar can only be installed using an included rubber mallet to hammer the crossbar into the leg brackets. There are no bolts to secure. This method is intended for ease of assembly but during our testing, over time of running the desk up and down, the bar continues to move slightly upwards past the red guide lines noted in the instructions. When this happens, the desk is not is stable and the crossbar needs to be hammered down again.
Choice of Frame Color
MojoDesk has black and gray as adjustable height frame color options to best match the 6 desktop options. Varidesk only offers one style: Gray.
