Workrite ASCENT4 EX 3-Stage, 2-Leg Electric Sit-Stand Desk

Description

Covers a wide range of population

The 3-stage, 2 leg rectangular desktop Ascent4 EX is an electric sit-stand desk that lowers to a distance of 22.5” from the floor and raises to a height of 48.7”. This wide range of height adjustability makes this sit-stand desk suitable for petite users below 5’ height as well as those above 6’.

Most standing desks in the market adjust between 28” and 47” high, making the desktop your effective typing surface. The upper limit suits users up to 6’ tall—covering 85% of men and 99% of women in the U.S.—allowing for ideal posture: relaxed shoulders, elbows at 90–95°, and straight wrists.

However, the lower limit of 28” only accommodates someone 5’11” for proper seated ergonomics. With average U.S. heights at 5’9” for men and 5’4” for women, many users end up typing with raised shoulders and bent wrists—leading to discomfort and issues like carpal tunnel or tendonitis. Despite their affordability, these desks often fail to support healthy posture when sitting.    

Affordable below $800

That’s where a desk like Ascent4 EX comes into the picture because a petite person does not need an under desk keyboard tray or a footrest to type with an ideal posture.  With a customizable configuration and various desktop options, Ascent4 EX’s price point is below an affordable $800.    

Reputed Manufacturer

The Ascent4 Sit-Stand Desk offers all the performance and features you’ve come to know from Workrite, packed into a value based solution. The Ascent4 EX is GreenGuard Gold certified for low chemical emissions. It also meets the BIFMA X5.5 standards which require desks and tables to undergo extensive performance tests for features like top loading, load ease, lock mechanism, rebound, racking leg strength, stability, horizontal and vertical adjustment, rebound and so forth. This standing desk also satisfies the UL 962 standard for electrical safety.  

Other thoughtful features include Digital Readout Programmable Memory controller, Standard Up/Down Button controls, One-Touch Auto Move, advanced Gyro Anti-Collision, and integrated cable management.

The desktop of this height adjustable electric desk is available in different sizes - 24" and 30" deep and 34" to 70" wide. With a weight capacity of 200 lbs, this electrical standing desk is equipped with an anti-collision sensor which stops the desktop movement if it detects an obstruction.

A 2-stage sit-stand desk has two telescoping columns in each leg while a 3-stage desk has three telescoping columns in each leg. The number of columns is directly proportional to the range of height adjustability and stability of the desk. So the Ascent4 EX desks offer a height adjustability range of 22.5” to 48.7” making it suitable for users who are outside the average height range like petite people below 5’ or tall people above 6’.

A 2-stage desk is a budget friendly option suitable for users up to 5’10”. The Ascent4 LX arm offers a height adjustment range from 27.5” to 47.2”.
