How to Choose the Right Desk for Your Space — Featuring Athena Series

Not all desks are created equal — especially when your workspace, posture, and productivity are at stake. Whether you're setting up a home office, study corner, or gaming station, choosing the right desk can make all the difference.

That’s why we’ve created this guide — to help you find the perfect match from our Athena Series standing desks.

✅ 1. Know Your Purpose, Then Match the Desk

Each model in the Athena series is designed with a specific user profile in mind:

Aesthetic + Functionality	Athena Woody	Made with real solid wood — perfect for creatives and designers

📏 2. Measure Your Space

Before picking a model, check your available area:

Small rooms? Go for 120cm x 60cm.

Perfect sizing for my small space

Had a hard time looking for a height adjustable table of this size until I bumped into this brand
Though it’s not solid wood but the two piece design should have the right support without having any problems. Easy installation and black works fine though I was hoping for white.
Well packed even though delivery took longer than expected. Customer service was very responsive. Thanks!

Table is very nicee. but...

I've been eying this table for quite a while now, and noticed here is cheaper than shopee's pricing because of the CNY promo.

When the item arrived, i recived the wrong table frame... how the hell is that possible?? Luckily i live quite close to their warehouse and was able to replace the table frame. So please do a checkup before sending to a customer.

Table quality is good! was able to sit and stand properly now haha.

UGL Cable Management Tray 🇲🇾

Don’t buy this unless UGL explain below issues well

Sent few emails before placing order and got responses within hours but don’t get any respond after sending email about there was missing item and wrong table that I received.
The phone number is not valid to call.

Below are some issues for reference:
1. I ordered the steel-base cable management tray but i don’t receive it with my parcel.
2. The specification column showed that it has 6 keys, but the one I got is only with 5 keys.
3. The edge of the table should be curve if according to images in official website but the one I got was in right angle.
4. The surface of the tabletop don’t have any holes for me to attach it with the frame.

Hopefully there would be someone to help with above issues after this review been submitted.

complains

First, the motor noise during height adjustments is pretty loud. In a quiet workspace, it’s super noticeable and can be distracting, especially during video calls or when I’m trying to focus. It’s a great feature, but the noise really takes away from the experience.

Second, I wish there were more customization options. Things like adjustable desktop sizes, more color choices, or better accessory integration (like built-in cable management or monitor mounts) would make such a big difference. It feels like the desk is almost there but could be more tailored to individual needs.
