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.

| Weight capacity | Frame roughly 100 kg total; each internal shelf about 20 kg | Roughly 55 kg lift capacity |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Construction | Board frame with honeycomb paper board panels -- this is how it stays light at this size | not published |
| Doors | Sliding, so no swing clearance needed, which matters in small Indian bedrooms | not published |
| Height range | not published | 71 to 118 cm |
| Humidity behaviour | Honeycomb board is more vulnerable to damp than solid particleboard, and cannot be repaired | not published |
| Levelling | Adjustable feet, and the floor must be level for the doors to run true | not published |
| Lift speed | not published | About 25 mm per second |
| Mains voltage | not published | Confirm the variant -- the North American model is 120 V |

| 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 |
| Wall fixing | Mandatory. IKEA supplies the bracket and it is not optional on a 236 cm wardrobe | not published |
| Wobble | not published | Noticeable above about 110 cm, which is inherent to single-motor frames |
