ErgoAV Unveils ErgoFx Standing Desk - Revolutionizing the Way People Work for US$2,200

ErgoAV, a leading manufacturer of ergonomic solutions, is proud to announce the launch of the ErgoFx Standing Desk - an innovative sit-to-stand desk that redefines workflow. With award-winning technology, cutting-edge design, and exceptional stability, ErgoFx offers maximum productivity. The ErgoFx prioritizes convenience, featuring an innovative wireless charger that lifts and rotates mobile phones to face users, placing the phone in a more interactive position. The desk also offers an LED-lit Front Fast Charging Panel consisting of 100 W max of power with 1 USB-A and 2 USB-C charging ports on the front for easy access to mobile charging.

"We crafted the ErgoFx with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring it seamlessly integrates into any workspace," said Bill Pantaleo, ErgoAV's VP of Sales. "Our goal was to enhance people's dynamic lifestyles with convenient design, while still providing a clean experience with industry-leading technology."
This desk offers a range of clutter-reducing features. The Concealed Power Supply Compartment contains a 120-volt AC 5 outlet power strip and built-in wire management for a cable-free workstation. Additionally, the ErgoFx contains an LED-lit drawer for added convenience.

The flagship model of the ErgoFx features a black glass tabletop with a stylistic pattern, adding a touch of sophistication. The desk is also available with a durable wood grain finish, in jet black, and walnut brown.

The three-column design and seamless height adjustment, activated using the paddle-style control panel or through the ErgoAV mobile app, allows for smooth transitions between sitting and standing. The desk boasts best-in-class lift columns which provide exceptional stability even at its highest height, secure for all-day use.

The ErgoFx desk prioritizes safety with Anti-Collision technology that senses obstructions and stops movement.

The ErgoFx is now available for shipping on ergoav.com starting at $2,199.99, offering professionals a premium ergonomic solution for their workplace needs.

If it is only capable of a 70kg load (static, in the downward direction only) then it comes with that IKEA patent: wiggle wobble

70kg is pathetic. Just look at the abilities of a normal office desk. The standard is 100-150kg. And YES I do stand on my desk with a coathanger aerial trying to get a better wifi signal. lol

I have bad news for you. You are not using this kind of desk properly.

Tbh it doesn't even look productivity-oriented. It doesn't offer that much desk space, it doesn't have a shelf for the monitor so you can use the space under it, no shelf for a desktop tower... It's just an expensive storage space for your expensive iDevices. Those will never add up to 70Kg.

TheLostSwedeThey have a more sturdy frame, but stilly only 75 kg max load.
I have a feeling IKEA's numbers for IDÅSEN might either be based on their LINNMON style top (hollow trash), or based on some super abusive duty cycle for the motors. I can definitely see that, because hollow cardboard doesn't hold up to mounts well and the motors are good quality but small (iirc). IKEA manual says only to use IKEA approved tops.

Because if that's not the case, then I have been very naughty with mine for a while now. 80lb butcher block, M32Q with arm, S2721DGF with long stacked arm, pair of speakers with stands, bunch of stuff hanging off the bottom, a Gunfighter Mk3 on a mount, and an Orion throttle on a mount. I don't use the motors much but they don't complain about the weight either.

Never had any wobble on hardwood, but on carpet it's obviously like any other sit/stand desk's Achilles heel. But for carpet use I put it up against the wall so there is still zero wobble. It is more stable with a thick wood block than the shitty cardboard top.

I hope these people sell 0 of these. Anyone who buys this is a fool and they get what they deserve.

A slight bit of a pity that they didn't also extend that cable management to the power cord going to the foot of the desk as well and integrate a way to hide the cable better there. They went through all the trouble of that and kind of stopped and compromised half way. Really seems like a oversight in the thought process behind the desk.

First let's take a look at the wireless charging. The charger will stand up by itself when it senses the phone.

The other significant expense is ensuring the product's integrity. If you examine the underside of any standing desk from other brands, you might find exposed motors, cables, and screw levers, which can potentially be a safety hazard, especially if you have children who might play under the desk. To address this, we have designed our desks with metal and plastic covers to conceal all these components, ensuring not only a cleaner look but also added safety. Moreover, we have taken extra steps to ensure that these covers align perfectly, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of our product.

Why is the desktop still sitting on the floor in the "After" picture?
There are cases that will have intakes on the bottom, having them not sit on the floor/carpet will do wonders reducing the amount of dust taken in. I understand desktops aren't as popular as they used to be, but maybe offer that as an option at least?

You are right. This picture is not quite right. We do have a CPU holder to avoid placing it on the floor.

I see only a disadvantage, now you have a charger tied to your desk, so if one breaks the other is pointless too. A simple port hole that snugly fits a USB C would make the whole thing that much cheaper AND more durable.

Okay. At home I have a standard Office desk with cable management, which can be had at 300~500 bucks depending on location and how large you need it.

The T shape & crossbar of the construction itself is hollow, so you rout the cables through the legs of the desk. The underside of my desk is clean just the same.
So you devised a desk with significant expense while the industry standard to achieve the same thing does it with the very materials used to create the desk itself.

Well done

Perspective? This is commerce taking things to new heights every time, and a response in kind. Is it untrue what I said? Then please do point it out and I will stand corrected. I'm just being honest about what's in front of me and how it compares to whatever else is on the market... and how this is clearly a product looking for a problem that doesn't exist, and solving it in the most curious ways.

Your approach is the passive aggressive stance. Have you considered how that works on the scale of manners?

There’s an actual human being representing their product and rather than engaging with them in earnest, you insult them.

You have GPUs and standing desks figured out — why not go to market and win the market like the vanguard you claim to be?

Nothing passive aggressive about what I said. I think you are being an asshole and I stand by it. True or untrue is irrelevant — it’s a market, as you are aware.

It's meant to go with iDevices, being overdesigned and overpriced is just common sense, if you really think about it.

Im engaging in earnest. What I read is a marketing story built on strange arguments. If there is a good argument against what I said I will happily read the response and Ill even admit I saw things the wrong way if that is made plausible. But you and I both know there isnt one. You havent provided one either. But maybe there is a hidden USP we both dont know? Consider that the challenge Ive provided that you read as 'rude'. If the product is solid, I will see myself corrected surely!

As for claiming the market... lol. Why? A desk is a desk, the product is done, and was done, in offices the world over for literal decades, and this desk is innovation for the sake of it with an astronomical price tag. We dont need innovation everywhere, its a marketing vehicle, gone way past common sense.

Exactly. If the argument for pricing was just being honest about that, I wouldnt frown on this as much.. but instead it tries to sell features that are pretty much useless.

The product developer is here. Ask them questions and maybe you’ll get an answer? Or conjecture for 500 words so, idk, you can hear the sound of your own voice or whatever

And yes, I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but now I am passing judgement. If a desk is a desk is a desk just stfu. It is a market, someone made a product, and they’re proud of it. Maybe it’s trash, maybe it’s overpriced — what difference does it make if you don’t care enough to address the person directly when they afford you that courtesy? You are talking shit for shit talking’s sake, like an asshole.

Useless to you. iDevices users were amazed to have a second mouse button at some point.

Yes, going the DIY route might always seem like the cheaper and more reliable option. But let's face it, it lacks integrity. Sure, you can snag a wireless charger and slap it onto your desk, but that's just not a seamless setup, is it? That's why we're willing to go the extra mile, even if it means shouldering ten times the cost, to deliver a product that embodies true integrity. We know it's not everyone's cup of tea, and not everyone is willing to foot the bill. But we're betting there are folks out there who will. For those who do, we've designed a replaceable wireless charger module, ensuring that if any issue arises, a solution is just a swap away.

The power cord placement is yet another hurdle we've tackled. Let's be honest, the majority of standing desks out there have power cords dangling from the desktop, which is nothing short of a hassle when adjusting the desk's height, particularly when the cord isn't near a wall. That's why we've upped the game with a spring cord system that extends from the base, keeping things a bit tidier. Granted, it's not the ultimate solution - in a perfect world, we'd have the cord seamlessly integrated within the legs. But let's face it, current engineering just isn't there yet in terms of reliability. So, we're sticking to what we know works best, offering the most reliable solution available to date

Folks, I know we're just discussing a desk here, but what we're bringing to the table is so much more than that. It's a revolution in integration and neatness. I've been around long enough to have owned a Nokia 3310 - a device that not only had all the essentials and a replaceable battery but was also incredibly affordable. But times have changed, and that era is long gone. I'm well aware that we've got a community of bright minds here. So, why not hit me with your groundbreaking ideas? Who knows, your innovation might just be the star feature in our upcoming products!
