The charm of our engineering isn't just to look pretty on the outside. What really matters is the foundation that we build our adjustable height desks on. The quality and robustness that GeekDesks are known for means that our desks last longer.
So what is the secret? We'll tell you….
We make sure that our standing desks are made of the world's most used high-strength metal, steel. We want your desk to change your life and last a long time so we use the best materials!
Our buildings, bridges and cars are all made with steel, so why not your desk?
Its inherent strength resists fatigue, stress, dings and scratches. Plus our powder coating fully protects against any corrosion. Steel is energy efficient, durable and fully recyclable (in fact, it's the most-recycled metal on the planet!), so it was the obvious choice for our frames.
If the crossbar section wasn't enough we even go one step farther… literally.
Our three-section legs extend across a greater range of heights than the two-section legs of many competing desks.
It's all part of making sure the GeekDesk® is designed with versatility in mind, for all kinds of people - which means you can work higher, lower and anywhere in between.
We know for our desks to be part of your life, they have to look good in your home or office. That's why we treat our desks like a work of art as part of our craftsmanship. Allowing you to connect with your desk and being inspired and proud to work at it.

It all started with a back injury at the age of 17. Ten years later our company's founder, Donovan McNutt, found himself in pain and often uncomfortable from having to sit at a desk all day while working as a software developer. At the time, most "ergonomic experts" were simply prescribing that people just "sit in the right chair, with the right posture." Having learned to listen to what his body was saying as a result of ongoing noninvasive back treatment, he realized his body was saying something much simpler, and quite different: "Stand up! Move around and change positions once in a while!"
Adjustable-height sit/stand desks had been around for a few decades, but they were extremely expensive (often $4000 or more for a basic desk), and difficult to buy -- typically only sold through dealers who added unnecessarily steep markups, and almost never for sale over the Internet. Frustrated by this, in 2007 Donovan began prototyping his own solutions to the problem, testing the prototypes in his real-world desk work as a software developer. Being able to stand part of the day made such a difference in his life that he decided to market the original GeekDesk frame to his peers in the technology industry. Little did he know how much the need would resonate!
Profitable from the onset, GeekDesk quickly grew from a tiny startup into a leading brand that helped pioneer sit/stand desks in North America and worldwide. Starting in 2010, GeekDesk started to to be featured in major publications such as the New York Times and International Herald Tribune, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Financial Times, USA Today, Washington Post, Wired, Tech Times, ZDNet, and hundreds of others. Explosive growth followed suit, as people began to "get" what "Work Sitting. Work Standing."® was really all about.
We continued to innovate and improve our desk line, following up the GeekDesk Original and Mini with the v2 and Max, and later the current v3 and updated Max models. Our commitment to excellence in customer service meant our growth would continue to be a good thing.
We're delighted to have played a part in bringing multi-posture workstations out of technology's backwaters and into the mainstream. Call them what you will -- adjustable-height desks, standing desks, or sit/stand workstations -- working at a desk that lets your body work the way it was designed to, quickly and flexibly accommodating various postures, will change your life.
We love the fact that our desks support people and help them live and work in a way that is much more life-filled than being chained to a desk chair all day. Our customers are smart, talented people who do amazing work every day. We have the privilege of serving them by providing high-quality, affordable standing desks that supports their work, day in and day out.
