### Those Boxes Weigh A Ton And The Instructions Are Baffling
You've invested in a standing desk to **save your back and boost productivity**. Now you're facing three massive boxes, an instruction booklet that makes zero sense, and the real concern: if you build this wrong, it'll jam, wobble, or worse. Let me deal with it - I've built dozens of these things.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Get your monitor on an arm too - when you adjust desk height, you want the screen to stay at proper eye level whether sitting or standing.

Makes the whole setup work properly. **Exeter offices?** I've done loads of standing desk installs for home offices and small businesses around Exeter.

Frequently Asked Questions about Standing desk assembly in Dawlish
Why pay for assembly when it's just a desk?
Standing desks are heavy (often 50-70kg), have fiddly electric motors or gas mechanisms, and need building perfectly square or they jam. Getting it done right means smooth operation and no back-breaking assembly. Plus cable management makes a huge difference.
How long does it take?
Most electric standing desks take 2-3 hours - they're substantial bits of kit with motors, control boxes, and cable routing. Manual crank desks are similar. I'll have it built, levelled, tested, and cable-managed properly.
Do you program the height presets?
Yes - if it's an electric desk with memory settings, I'll program them for your sitting and standing heights. Makes switching between positions dead easy throughout the day.
What if the desk doesn't fit in the space?
I'll check dimensions before starting. If it's not going to fit or work in your space, better to know before unpacking the whole thing. I can advise on alternatives or positioning.
Will you manage the cables?
Absolutely - cable management is part of the job. Power for the motor, computer cables, monitor cables - I'll route them through trays and channels so everything moves smoothly when you adjust the height.
