I've seen this desk and been interested in it, but haven't see a "pro" version. Does it say that on the box, and would you know what difference there might be (USB-C ports instead of USB-A etc)
It does indicate "Pro" on the box - it is not particularly clear why it is called pro and it does look very much like what they have on their site for the regular version. The only pro version on the site currently has a larger desk surface from what I can see. I see only one difference between ours and the standard on their site and that is the blue colour. Hardly seems "Pro" but that is what is on the box. It might also have a unique name / model number as it was sold through Costco as a limited deal - so it might just have the PRO moniker to indicate that it was a special version. Thanks for watching.
Hello, the cover is glass which makes me worry about whether the arms will stick when it's hot or it could be very cold when it's winter. Another thing I need to know is if you can anchor an arm for a screen since it must be pressed against the desk and it has a glass cover that can break. In addition, it only supports 110 pounds or 45 kilos, which is not enough if I want to lean on it since it could damage the motor or the structure. Please guide me if they are good or a normal electric one is better?
Thanks for watching! We have it right next to a big window and here in the Canadian winter we don't have any issues with it feeling too cold or sticking too much in the heat of the summer. That being said, anything glass will have those kinds of problems more than a wood surface will no matter what. I personally would not try to use a monitor arm or any kind of clamp on the edge of the desk - there is a small gap between the glass and the metal frame underneath it, if you tighten too much, you could shatter the glass. There would likely be ways to prevent that (like putting some kind of firm cushioning material between the glass and the frame would work - but I haven't tried as our use case doesn't need any kind of attachment like that). For the weight limit - there is definitely no concern with the frame holding considerably more weight than the rating, it is very strong. The glass and the motor might be a concern but just leaning on the table is likely also not really an issue, as you rarely would put your full weight on the desk. Additionally the official website currently lists 175 pounds as the weight limit as did the box when we received it - you can see the rated capacities at approx 3:45 in the video. We love ours for how we are using it and we have had no issues in the 2 years we have had it. It does sound like for your use case though, you might be wanting a wood or hard surface instead. Hope that helps!
