There are a lot of standing desks out there, and from my research and conversations with people who use them day-to-day, quite a few don't use the standing function more than maybe once a week, which pretty much defeats the entire purpose of having a standing desk. ErgoDriven's Tempo Desk attempts to solve that by incorporating an automatic standing function as a core principle of its operation. Not just an add-on, not just a software update, not just a plug-and-play feature, but a core functionality of how it operates.
I'll admit I was a tad bit skeptical when I first heard about a desk that will do this automatically. I even thought through some of the other desks that I have in love and thought, how hard could it be to add this functionality with a plug-in or an adapter? While this could be done with some adapters and accessories, having it all built-in first-party is really what makes this thing shine. It has the sensors, the brain, and the processing already on board, so it can do all this without anything else needed. For any other desk, you need to add not just the controller that can automatically trigger the up and down, but probably a different control sensor as well, so it knows if you are actually sitting at the desk, just as this one does.
