Side panels, footings, and frames form the structural backbone of an electric height-adjustable office desk, providing stability, safety, and design refinement. While the motorized lifting columns handle vertical movement, these components ensure that the desk remains sturdy, balanced, and visually appealing in both sitting and standing positions. Designed as integral standing desk accessories, they not only enhance the desk’s durability but also contribute to its ergonomics, cable management, and aesthetic appeal. Whether for a corporate environment or a home office, these parts work together to create a reliable, functional, and professional workspace.

Functions and Uses

The side panels serve multiple purposes—protecting the lifting mechanism, concealing cables, and contributing to a clean, finished look. They can also act as modesty panels, offering privacy in open office environments. Footings (or desk feet) are critical for ensuring the desk’s stability, evenly distributing weight, and preventing wobble during height adjustments. Frames connect and support the lifting columns, providing the structural integrity needed to withstand daily use while keeping all components aligned. In combination, these accessories protect internal mechanisms from dust and impact, reduce noise during adjustments, and ensure that the desk maintains a professional appearance from every angle.

Product Features

Our side panels, footings, and frames are engineered for strength, precision fit, and compatibility with electric height-adjustable desks. Side panels are crafted from high-quality steel or aluminum with electrostatic powder coating for a sleek, scratch-resistant finish. Footings are designed with anti-slip pads or leveling glides to ensure stable positioning on different flooring types, including carpet, tile, and hardwood. Frames feature reinforced crossbeams that prevent torsional flexing, even under maximum load. All components are designed to work seamlessly with the desk’s lifting columns and accessories, maintaining smooth, quiet, and safe operation throughout the desk’s full height range.

Product Instructions

Installation begins with attaching the frames to the lifting columns, ensuring all bolts are tightened for secure alignment. Footings should be installed next, ensuring anti-slip pads or glides are properly positioned to avoid movement during use. Once the frame and feet are in place, the side panels can be mounted to enclose the structure, following manufacturer guidelines for alignment and cable routing. For ongoing maintenance, regularly check all connection points and adjust foot leveling as needed. Avoid exposing the components to excessive moisture or corrosive environments to maintain finish quality and structural integrity.
