How fast do electric sit-stand desks actually move between heights?

Better electric desks travel at 1–1.5 inches per second, completing a full sit-to-stand transition in 12–18 seconds. Premium models hit 1.5–2 inches per second. Entry-level desks at 0.5–0.8 inches per second stretch that to 20–30 seconds — slow enough to discourage regular transitions. Travel speed matters more than most buyers realize.
