The specification most people get wrong is size, because the Aeron is sized rather than universally adjustable -- A, B and C are different frames, and a B bought by someone who needs a C stays uncomfortable at every setting.

SHW
SHW 55-Inch Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk
₹24,990
Single motor is the specification that separates this from desks costing twice as much, and it has three consequences worth knowing: 55 kg lift rather than 100 plus, about 25 mm per second rather than 38, and noticeable wobble above 110 cm because one motor drives both legs through a crossbar.

| PostureFit SL | Supports both the lumbar and the sacrum, which is what distinguishes it from ordinary lumbar support | not published |
| Single versus dual motor | not published | A single motor drives both legs through a crossbar. It lifts less, moves slower, and allows more wobble at standing height than a dual-motor frame |
| Sizes | A small, B medium, C large. Size is not adjustable and choosing wrong cannot be corrected | not published |
| Suspension | 8Z Pellicle mesh, which distributes weight rather than compressing like foam | not published |
| Why mesh | Foam compresses permanently and traps heat. Mesh does neither, which is why this lasts twelve years | not published |
| Why size matters most | The Aeron is sized rather than universally adjustable. A size B for someone who needs a C is uncomfortable at any setting | not published |
| Wobble | not published | Noticeable above about 110 cm, which is inherent to single-motor frames |
