Why does my sit-stand desk drift down slightly from its preset height?

Height drift on electric sit-stand desks is usually caused by load-induced motor back-driving — when the desk is loaded near its weight capacity, gravity can slowly force the lifting column down between a tight tolerance in the motor/screw mechanism. Re-calibrating the desk often resolves this. If drift continues, the load may be too close to the rated capacity — reduce the surface weight or upgrade to a higher-capacity desk. Some premium desks have anti-backdrive locks that prevent this entirely. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries quality sit-stand desks with reliable height retention — call 888-719-4960 for the best deals.
