Wire Management Explained For Standing Desks And More

Today we are going to take a closer look at the wire management options available for the desk. While these options work for our own product, they will work for other brands as well. Wire management is a topic that comes up with many of our customers. Considering the minimalist design of most two and three leg electric adjustable standing desks, this really comes as no surprise. We have recently introduced some new options that we feel can cover most wire management needs. It’s important to consider your specific needs as every user will have a different setup for their desk.

By the end of this post you will be able to better understand the wire management options we offer and how each can potentially fix your wire chaos. I will be explaining why each option has the potential to be a good fit or bad fit, as not all users require the most expensive option. If you are a basic user with minimal cords, you will need a lot less than a power user that has 10+ wires for the desk. With that, let’s take a closer look at what wire management is and how it can help clean up your desk’s wire situation.

What is wire management for standing desks?

Because the majority of electric standing desks do not include full modesty panels, they have no way to hide the wires for all of your electronics. To resolve this common problem, manufacturers have produced different types of wire management to do just that; manage the wire chaos. There are two main types of wire management: a vertical wire management and a horizontal wire management. Some products like zip ties and Velcro straps can be used for both types of wire management. Oftentimes, these types of simple wire management solutions are aired with more robust vertical and horizontal solutions.

One thing to consider is how other parts of the desk work within your wire management solution. Grommets in the desk will help to pass wires cleanly through the top of your desk surface to underside of the desk. Power strips added to the bottom of the desk surface can significantly reduce the amount of wires running vertically from a power source in the wall or ground. In this post we will also be looking at how these types of add-ons help make our vertical and horizontal wire management solutions more efficient.
