EffyDesk Executive Desk vs. Progressive Corner Ryzer Desk

Weigh the benefits of our L-shaped standing desk

Corner desks have long been a popular choice for professionals with access to spacious home or commercial offices. They provide ample space for storing equipment and materials, creating a comfortable workstation. Recently, there has been a surge in research on ergonomic office furniture, leading manufacturers to develop corner desks with height-adjustable features. Among these, the EffyDesk L-Shaped Executive Standing Desk and the Corner Ryzer Desk from Progressive Desk have become two of the most popular choices in Canada.

If you’re considering purchasing one of these height-adjustable L desks, it can be challenging to decide between the two. Both the EffyDesk executive model and the Corner Ryzer Desk offer similar capabilities and design options. To help you make a decision, we've outlined a few key differences to keep in mind.

Surface Area

One of the key selling points of a corner desk is the amount of desktop space it offers. When choosing an L-shaped desk, many people prioritize finding the desk with the largest surface area. However, if you have limited space available for your corner desk, it may be more practical to consider a smaller size. Regardless of your specific requirements, it is important to understand the difference in sizes before making a purchase decision for a height-adjustable corner desk.

The EffyDesk Executive Desk provides a width range of 40-71" and a length range of 54-85". This offers over 10" of additional surface area compared to the Progressive Corner Ryzer Desk, which has a width range of 30-60" and a length range of 48-72". In general, if you have enough office space to accommodate a larger desk, it is highly recommended to opt for the spacious Executive Desk from EffyDesk to ensure you have ample room for all your belongings.

Weight Capacity

L desks are often used to accommodate multiple pieces of technology and equipment. For example, executives may need space for multiple monitors, scanners, printers, tablets, and other devices. It is essential to consider the weight capacity of your height-adjustable corner desk to ensure it can support the necessary equipment without any issues. Overloading the desk with heavy objects can strain the frame and potentially cause severe damage.

Knowing the weight capacity of your desk is crucial. Depending on your usage requirements, you may not necessarily need to choose the model with the highest weight capacity. However, having a higher weight capacity can provide peace of mind and ensure added security for your workstation. The EffyDesk model offers a weight capacity of 410 lbs, while the Progressive corner desk can support up to 330 lbs.

Height Capabilities

The height range of both our Executive Desk and the Progressive Corner Ryzer Desk is extremely similar. However, we understand that even a small difference in height can have an impact on the user experience and the ergonomic benefits of the product. When using a standing desk in an upright position, it is optimal to have the upper and lower arms resting at a 90-degree angle on the tabletop.

At EffyDesk, our height range spans from 24 to 50 inches, providing a wide range of adjustment options. On the other hand, the Progressive desk has a slightly shorter height range of 23.6 to 49.1 inches. Depending on your height and personal preferences, this difference in height range may be an essential factor to consider when deciding between these two products. Ensuring that the desk can accommodate your desired ergonomic setup is crucial for a comfortable and productive working experience.

Noise Level

If you haven't owned an electric standing desk before, you might not have considered the noise level they produce and how it can impact your professional experience. Especially in a shared or commercial office space, a loud motor can be highly disruptive and uncomfortable for users, discouraging them from adjusting the height of their desks as needed. Both the EffyDesk Executive model and the Progressive Corner Ryzer Desk require a triple motor to lift the frame. However, due to slight differences in engineering, the Progressive desk operates at a noise level of 50 decibels, while the EffyDesk Executive Desk produces less than 45 decibels of sound during operation. If the noise level is a primary concern for you, the Executive Desk from EffyDesk clearly stands out as the optimal choice in this category. Its quieter operation can contribute to a more peaceful and focused work environment.
