We ran this one for six weeks in a working kitchen. Below is the score, what it does well, and the two things that would stop us buying it again.
Nordlys Standing Desk Pro
★ 4.5 / 5
Four months at this desk, two of them shared with a 34-inch monitor and a very heavy printer. It moved every day and never once wobbled, which is the whole job.
How the score breaks down
Build quality
★ 5 / 5
Steel frame, powder-coated, no flex at full height
Stability
★ 4.5 / 5
Barely a tremor at 48 inches with 40 kg on it
Value
★ 4 / 5
Priced above the pack, and it earns most of the gap
Review
The Nordlys Pro is the standing desk to buy if you are done buying standing desks. The frame is the quiet kind of overbuilt, the motor is fast without being loud, and the four memory presets mean nobody in the house has to think about it. It costs more than the flat-pack competition and takes an hour to assemble properly, and both are worth it.
Pros
- Rock steady at every height
- Fast, quiet dual motors
- Four memory presets on a clean keypad
Cons
- Assembly takes a full hour and two people
- Cable tray is sold separately
The short version
What works
- Brass body, not plated zinc
- Cartridge is a standard size
- Ten year warranty, honoured
What does not
- Marks easily around the spout
- No flow restrictor supplied
Worth it if you are keeping the house. If you are selling within a year, fit the cheaper one.
