Standing Desk Assembly
Like most flat-packed furniture, the desktop, legs, motor controller and any drawers or shelf arrive as separate pieces with hardware included, built on site rather than delivered ready to use. Expect a genuine assembly job, not unboxing.
What generally ships separately
The desktop panel, the two leg columns with their motors, a crossbar or frame connecting them, the control panel or button pad, and the cabling that links the motor to the controller. Anything sold with drawers or a shelf adds those as further separate components. None of this is specific to Agilestic - it is standard practice for flat-packed height-adjustable desks generally, not a detail confirmed on every individual listing here.
What assembly typically involves
Attaching the leg columns to the underside of the desktop, connecting the crossbar between them, wiring the motor cable to the control panel, and mounting the control panel somewhere reachable at the front edge. A basic set of hand tools - a Phillips screwdriver at minimum, sometimes an Allen key included with the hardware - is the usual requirement, though the specific tools and step count vary by listing and are worth checking in that listing's own instructions rather than assumed here.
Why a second person helps
The desktop panel on the range's larger sizes - the 55 and 63-inch desks in particular - is large and awkward for one person to hold steady while attaching legs underneath. L-shaped desktops add a second panel to align at the corner. Neither is a hard requirement, but both are meaningfully easier with two people.
Splice-board tabletops
A few listings in this range describe a splice-board tabletop - a desktop built from two jointed boards rather than one continuous panel. The join is a visible design feature on the finished surface, not an assembly step different from a single-panel desktop; the boards arrive already joined as one tabletop piece.
Questions
Do these desks arrive fully assembled?
No - like most flat-packed furniture, they ship as separate components and are assembled on site.
What tools are needed?
Generally a Phillips screwdriver at minimum, sometimes an Allen key included with the hardware - confirm against the specific listing's own instructions, since this varies by model.
Is assembly harder for the L-shaped desks?
There is an extra panel to align at the corner compared with a straight desk, which is where a second person tends to help most.
Does the splice-board tabletop need to be assembled from two separate boards?
No - the two boards arrive already joined as a single tabletop piece; the seam is a finished design feature, not an assembly step.
