FAQs about Adjustable Height Office Desks

What is an adjustable height office desk?
An adjustable height office desk allows you to change the desk’s height to suit your preferred working position. This flexibility lets you alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day, helping to improve posture, circulation, and comfort.
At Recycled Business Furniture (RBF), we stock a wide range of adjustable height office desks in both manual and electric options, combining functionality, style, and sustainability for every workspace.

At RBF, our pre-owned adjustable height office desks offer all these health and ergonomic benefits while supporting eco-conscious purchasing — giving quality furniture a second life and reducing waste.
Height adjustment varies depending on the desk type. Some models use a manual crank or gas lift, while others use an electric motor with easy-to-use buttons or programmable presets for preferred heights.
