    Height-adjustable desk frames are the in-thing, with many people banking on them to boost their productivity at work while alleviating their back aches. As such, they are a good investment, not only for progress at work but also for your mental and physical health. So, how can you ensure you play your part in prolonging these benefits? It’s all about how you care for your desk, as detailed in this guide.

    The Quick Guide to Maintaining Height-Adjustable Desk Frames

    A height-adjustable desk frame is an investment. And like with any other investment, you have to ensure you take care of it to enable it to keep giving you good returns. But how do you do this?

    Clean your frame often

    Over time, it’s easy to let things pile on your desk and neglect the frame’s appearance. But here is the thing – the more dust that builds up on the frame, the likelier it is to develop technical issues, especially if this buildup affects the moving parts. Get ahead of the problem by regularly wiping the frame using a damp (not wet) cloth, which you can dunk in soapy water. Go for mild detergents that will not strip away the desk’s finish, and always refer to the manufacturer’s manual on what surface cleaners you can use. When in doubt, use a damp cloth with just some water – it will work.

    Lubricate the moving parts

    Every adjustable frame comes with moving parts. Sometimes, especially with electric desks, you may not even notice these parts due to the smooth and quiet gliding of the frame. However, these parts exist and are integral to the proper working of the frame. You need to refer to the manufacturer’s manual on how often these parts need lubrication and what kind of lubricant you can use. This maintenance is especially important for manual and crank desk frames as these tend to be more mechanical. Electric desks often need less maintenance, but you will still need to step in now and then with a lubricant to ensure smooth movement that puts wear and tear at bay.

    Tighten loose screws and bolts

    Loose screws and bolts come with two main concerns. First, they affect the frame’s performance, so it may not respond to adjustments as needed. Secondly, and this is a big one, they can cause instability, which can put you and other people at risk of physical harm. Anytime you are cleaning your frame, pay attention to the screws and bolts. If any appear to be loose, tighten them immediately. The manufacturer’s manual may have more information on this. But usually, you need the right screwdriver, and you are good to go.

    Replace any worn-out or damaged cables.

    Electric frames have many advantages – they are easy to use, have superb memory settings, and are almost always easy on the eyes. Plus, they require such low maintenance that you can even forget that they are complex systems with multiple working parts. It’s thus essential to take the time to assess their wiring as their connections play a role in how efficient they are and how safe you are. If you come across any damaged cables, fix them immediately – following the manufacturer’s manual on this is best. Also, if you do not have experience with fixing cables, leave this task to a professional who will ensure that the repairs do not impact the overall working of the frame.

    Obey the recommended weight limits

    While adjustable frames are sturdy, they have weight limits. Exceeding these set limits puts a lot of strain on the overall frame, which can result in inefficiencies or even damage. You can protect your frame by sticking to the set limit. Also, it’s best to place items across the desk’s surface rather than on one side, as this ensures even weight distribution, ensuring that the strain is not just on one part of the frame.

    You should also read the manufacturer’s manual before using the height-adjustable desk frame, as this gives you information about your product, including how best to maintain it and what to do if repairs are necessary.
