Motia Sit-to-Stand Tables

Overview

Motia Sit-to-Stand Tables are electric height-adjustable desks positioned by Herman Miller as a hardworking standing desk at a great value, encouraging regular movement between postures.

Construction

The electric lift handles up to 250 lb and needs minimal assembly. Bases come as C-leg or T-leg with glides or casters, and work surfaces are laminate, veneer or formcoat with square, thin or eased edges.

Specifications

Rectangular tops are 24 or 30 in deep and 48 to 72 in wide; extended corner tops are 42 to 72 in wide. Height ranges are 27 to 46 in (standard electric) and 22 to 48 in (extended electric).

Healthy habits within reach

The company's pitch for Motia starts from movement: it cites research that most Americans are sedentary for around 21 hours a day and says the table is meant to make changing position through the day easier.

Scaled to the office

Herman Miller says the same table can be scaled up or down with undersurface cable management, surface shapes, suspended storage and screens, and that it is compatible with monitor arms, keyboard supports, CPU holders and screens. Motia is listed as part of the Thrive portfolio.
