Summary

  • Furniture company Herman Miller is marketing a new height-adjustable standing desk for office workers that does not appear to be one.
  • Called the Spout Sit-to-Stand Table, it has four cylindrical legs, rather than the usual two, meaning each contains its own motor to raise and lower the working surface.
  • This makes the table stronger (able to lift up to 400lbs), easier to move and usable by more than one person at a time.
  • However, the innovation comes at a cost, with the starting price set at 3,400 for the largest version.
  • This new product is part of Herman Miller’s new Ello Power accessories range, which includes two USB-C ports built into the surface of the table, able to deliver up to 100W each or 65W when both are in use.
