Core Advantages
Stay in flow
Movement shouldn’t interrupt your work.
Limber desks adjust up to ten times faster than electric desks, making posture changes effortless. You don’t need to stop working or make a deliberate “healthy choice” just to move. Movement becomes natural and automatic.
Ergonomics, done properly
Every body is different.
Limber desks adjust precisely to your body, making it easy to set your screen and working height correctly whether you’re standing, kneeling, or sitting on the floor. No add-ons, no guesswork, no awkward compromises.
Move way more
Limber desks support a wider variety of working and resting postures than traditional desks. By encouraging regular movement throughout the day, Limber helps reduce discomfort and supports energy and focus at work.
More movement, built into your workspace.
Beautiful & bountiful
Both the Petal & Linear desktop shapes provide all the workspace you need with all the cables disappeared out of sight, like magic.
Take your desk with you
On wheels and effortless to move around the home or office. Built to fit through standard 800mm wide doorways.
Do more than buy a desk...

Early research into movement-based desk design
Limber desks were designed around a simple idea: reduce prolonged static postures and make movement a natural part of desk-based work.
In a pilot laboratory study conducted at the University of California, Berkeley and published in the Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Conference (2025), participants completed computer-based tasks using an active work setup that combined floor-seated and standing work on a Limber desk, and a passive setup using a traditional chair-seated workstation.
Participants using the active setup reported approximately half the increase in musculoskeletal discomfort compared to chair-seated work, with no reduction in typing speed or accuracy. While results vary between individuals and the study was short in duration, the findings support Limber’s movement-first design philosophy.
Study contextThe study was conducted in a laboratory setting at UC Berkeley using Limber desks to compare active and seated work conditions during computer-based tasks.

Lowest tabletop height between 25-28cm from floor.
Highest tabletop height between 116-120cm from the floor.
Single monitor mounts can be installed between 31–56cm above the desktop surface.
Because most monitor mounts attach at the centre of the screen, the actual top and bottom edges of your monitor will sit higher or lower than this mounting point depending on the size of your screen.
You can access the full spec sheet here.
Speed of movement
The Limber Desk moves from floor to standing height in just 1–2 seconds.
By comparison, most electric desks take 10–20 seconds, and crank desks can take 60 seconds or more.
That speed matters more than people realise. When height changes are slow, they interrupt concentration and break your flow. As a result, around 80% of electric desk users and 95% of crank desk users rarely change height during the day.
Limber desks are designed to move 10–20 times faster so adjusting your position feels effortless. When movement is easy, you move more often. And when you move more often, your body feels better.
Assembly
The assembly of Limber Desks are a feature and now made even easier!
Your Limber Desk comes with an easy to follow assembly video package where together with Limber founder and Physiotherapist, Bart de Vries, you will put together your very own Limber. The whole process only takes 30-50 minutes. Everything you need comes in the box, no tools required.
“I usually suck at this stuff. Limber made assembly fun (actually!) and I was able to do it with no stress.” - Elizabeth, Wellington.
"I was surprised at how quickly and easily it came together, and it was fun, amazing!" - Michaela, Nelson, NZ.
