Mobile and Under-Desk

Three things that do not belong in any of the other sections, and one of them is not a desk at all.

The rolling cart is a standing desk for a room that already has a desk. It is 31.5 inches wide and 15.75 deep, adjusts between 28.3 and 46.1 inches, and rolls on locking castors, which is what makes it a laptop station beside an armchair in the evening and a lectern in a meeting the next morning. Fifteen inches of depth is not enough for a monitor at a comfortable distance, and pretending otherwise is how these end up disappointing people; it is a laptop surface, and an excellent one.

The smaller mobile desk is narrower still at 25.59 inches and rated to 22 pounds, which is a laptop, a mug and nothing else. It is the piece for a bedroom corner, a student room or beside a bed, and its light walnut top is the only finish in the catalogue chosen to look like furniture rather than equipment.

The footrest is not a desk and is here because there is nowhere else honest to put it. It has three heights and tilts up to 30 degrees, and it is the cheapest fix in this whole catalogue for the most common ergonomic complaint. Every desk here bottoms out at 28.3 inches. For anyone under roughly five foot four that is slightly too high to sit at with both feet flat, and the choice is a desk that cannot go lower or a footrest that raises the floor. The footrest wins.

Questions about mobile and under-desk

Will a monitor fit on the rolling cart?
Physically yes, sensibly no. At 15.75 inches deep, a monitor pushed to the back of the cart still sits around 15 inches from your face. The cart is sized for a laptop, and if a screen has to travel with it a laptop stand is the better answer.
Does the footrest need assembly?
None. It comes as one piece, the height is set by hand and the tilt moves under your feet. It is the only item in the catalogue with nothing to build.
Do the castors lock?
On the larger cart, yes, and they should be locked before typing. The cart is stable enough to work at while it is free to roll, but a locked castor is the difference between leaning on it and following it across the room.
