Description
Eight Years in the Making
Vintage Industrial has been building height-adjustable desks since the beginning — not because it was a trend, but because our founder’s chronic back pain led him to a simple truth: the human body is not designed to sit still. When he switched to a sit-to-stand desk, his pain diminished. That experience is the foundation every Electric Crank Desk is built on.
Precision Engineering, Honest Materials
The base is precision-formed from hot-rolled steel, hand-selected for grain and character. Electric actuators raise and lower the surface smoothly across the full height range — seated to standing — with controls at your fingertips or through your phone. The top is solid, premium, sustainably sourced hardwood, hand-selected and finished to your specification. Available species and finishes include Ash and Walnut, each in multiple hand-applied tones. Steel base finishes in natural or painted to order.
Configured to Your Work
Every Electric Crank Desk is made entirely to order. Surface dimensions, top species and finish, edge treatment, drawer configuration, and base finish are all determined at commission. Optional drawers — side and keyboard — can be added where your workflow demands them. Wiring management, including a grommet through the top and cable holders, is included as standard. A cordless battery option is available for full placement flexibility.
Built to Last, Backed by Warranty
The electric actuators and controller carry a five-year warranty. This is not a commodity sit-stand desk — it is a precision-crafted, heirloom-quality workstation built in America, made to be used daily for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this desk suitable for daily use?+
Yes. Both the top and base are finished with a restaurant-grade sealer built for all-day, everyday use. The steel base is engineered to industrial tolerances, a grade above both commercial and residential furniture. These aren’t display pieces — they’re built for the factory floor, refined for the room.
What wood species are available?+
Standard species are walnut, oak, mahogany, and cherry. All tops are solid, premium, sustainably sourced hardwood, hand-selected for figure and grain. Other species are available on request and finalized during your commission conversation.
What steel finish options are available?+
Natural patina is shown as standard. Black patina and painted finishes are available and finalized during the commission process.
Can I specify the size?+
Yes — length, width, and height range are all adjustable to your space and ergonomic requirements. Dimensions are finalized during your commission conversation.
Can I add grommets, data ports, or power access?+
Yes. Cable grommets, data ports, and power access points can be built directly into the top. We’re also happy to work with your AV or IT team during the commission process to make sure everything is spec’d correctly before we build.
What edge profiles are available for the top?+
Live edge, straight, beveled, and other profiles are available depending on the model. Edge style is selected during your commission conversation.
How does the desk ship?+
The Electric Crank Desk ships fully assembled via freight. If neither a loading dock nor forklift is available at delivery, let us know during your commission and we’ll arrange the right solution.
What is the lead time?+
Lead times are typically 12 weeks or more from deposit, depending on configuration. Your specific timeline is confirmed at the start of your commission.
How is it delivered?+
Standard delivery is freight curbside. White glove service — inside placement, unpacking, and full assembly — is available; delivery method is confirmed during your commission conversation.

I love love love my new desk! I’ll never go back to a fixed height desk again. This thing is a beast, pretty heavy and the quality is amazing. The top is rock solid, I was worried it would wobble some especially when you raised it up. Two of us sat on the top and it had no problem lifting us both which was pretty funny. The Ash top is gorgeous, has a slight rustic look to it, but is super smooth. Was concerned writing on the top would be a problem if it was a bumpy top.
Every other sit stand desk we looked at felt cheap compared to this one. I can’t think of anything to make it better really. Just wish I had this sooner. My back doesn’t like sitting all day! Thank you Vintage Industrial!
