Officeworks Matrix Executive Electric Desk

Reliable and versatile – This desk has been a fantastic addition to my work space, and has been able to handle a number of changes in my home office setup over the past couple of years. When I've added more electronics, or audio equipment, or clamped on a bigger monitor it has still been just as responsive and capable of taking the increased weight, while moving from a… Read more

sitting suitable height to a raised, standing desk setup. There have been a couple of times when I've switched it on and it has immediately lowered itself without any reason to do so, but this resolves once I tap the button on the interface and stop the movement - I really only mean 2-3 times total this has occurred; otherwise it's been completely reliable.

Can happily recommend this unit for those needing an electronic desk capable of changing heights regularly. Great for the price, and the Walnut top is nice if available to order!

Terrible product – Within a month of buying, the mechanism that helps move the desk has started tearing at the rubber holders. The desk is not designed for frequent sit - stand movement. Very disappointed with this purchase. Since its over 30 days , can't get a refund too. Show details

Pretty Good For the Price – I bought this desk about a month ago, the 150cm wide one. It works pretty well and is what I need it to be. It is more affordable than a lot of other electric desks on the market. Show details

Electric adjustable heigth desk – Assembly Instruction terrible, 2 sizes available but instruction for the largest of the two, diagram not clear enough, when finished the final result is very good. Not enought tools supplied to assemble Show details

Affordable and fit-for-purpose electric desk – Introduction Previously I attended a Costco store in Canberra City and found an interesting electric adjustable desk. I waited for a good opportunity to obtain the desk; but after a month or so, the desk was no where to be found. I then shopped around by going to various relevant stores such as IKEA and a few electronics stores. With pricing being… Read more

the important factor, I later came across Office Works and decided to pay a visit to a store.

Reviewing the table, at the time, I found only one online review that complained about seating problems and that in its lowest setting, one of the desk's attached components would create a problem when seated in the middle of the desk. I then would end up spending approximately an hour reviewing different electric tables to make a more informed decision.

After discussing with sales staff at Office Works, even asking to plug into the mains through extension cabling to look at how several different electric desks operated and performed. Some of the more expensive desks, had more protruding components than this table.

After the helpful assistance of customer service at the store; I continued and made an informed decision to purchase the table. Once I returned home, which would be used for a home office environment. As I use a similar type at work and it would also serve to support my partner who suffered a medical condition concerning DVT.

Packaging: The electric desk came in pieces and required assembly, however though, it came with not-so-easy-to-read instructions.

Assembly Requirements As the instructions required two people to assemble; it also required appropriate tools. However, I found this to be difficult to achieve, especially when connecting the table top to the rest of the metal frame.

Dimensions of Table: 1500mm (Width) x 700mm (Depth) Colour: White

Final Thoughts The only aspect I found difficult was assembly despite having the correct tools and where I found the table top section not aligning to the rest of the of metallic frame.

The touch pad with the digital gauge, I did not attach underneath the table as shown on the box or the website; instead I left the control pad on top of the table and used the circular plastic covers to feed the cabling through.

Though as for the earlier review I found from Office Works that raised my concerns about the section that protrudes to your seating position; I did not find this a problem, although my partner did knock her leg into it on its lowest setting.

Pros: - price (relative) - compact packaging - meets my home office needs

Cons: - lack of colour options - ease of installation and poor instructions - overall quality product questionable
