The top lifts from a seated 29.5 in to a standing 35 in on a manual spring mechanism, so it works as a standing desk in a room with no socket to feed a motorized frame. Underneath the liftable 24 x 19 in panel sits a 22 x 17.5 x 5.5 in compartment for a laptop and papers, hidden once the desk is closed. Two open shelves of 19 x 13 in at different heights take books and a printer. Total capacity is 210 lbs across a 39.5 x 19 in footprint, and the desk weighs 58.5 lbs in engineered wood.
