Branch Four Leg Standing Desk vs Branch Standing Desk

Branch Four Leg Standing Desk

One motor in each of four legs, a ten-year structural warranty, and the clean look Branch sells on — this is the four-leg desk for an office that has to look like a room rather than a workstation. It removes the wobble problem structurally, the way every four-leg desk does, and it does it without crossbars. But the numbers underneath are modest for the money. The 225 lb rating is the lowest of any four-leg desk here, lower than several two-leg frames costing half as much, and the 44.6-inch ceiling is the lowest maximum of any powered desk in this catalog — by the standing-elbow rule that is about right for a 6 ft user and short for anyone taller. At $1,099 it costs more than four-leg frames here rated for well over twice the load. Buy it for the design and the warranty; it is not the spec-sheet choice.

Branch Standing Desk

Not sold new in the US. Branch no longer sells this desk new: its product page redirects to the Tria, and only open-box units remain.

Branch has stopped selling its original two-leg desk new. The product page now redirects to its successor, the Tria, and this desk survives only as open-box stock, from $599 against a $749 list price for the 48×30. As a desk it sits awkwardly beside the Duo: the same 275 lb rating, but four presets, three-stage legs and 26 inches of travel, from 26 to 52 inches, which is a genuinely wide fit window, plus 60 and 72-inch widths the Duo does not offer. Its electronics were covered for three years where the Duo gets ten. If an open-box or secondhand unit is on the table, the range is the reason to take it. If you are buying new, the Tria is now Branch's full-size desk and the Duo its small-room one.
