ADEX 2016 Silver: 
Cirrus Floating Counterbalance Sit-Stand Office Table

For health in the office and workplace, SMARTdesks Cirrus Table offers options for sitting, standing and exercising to improve productivity and mental effectiveness in the office setting. The Cirrus Floating Counterbalance Height Adjustable Office Table uses a unique, German-made leg design that equally distributes the weight on the table top over two legs. As a result, the table top can be raised and lowered by one person (able to physically lift the load on the table) using only a single release handle. The floating counterbalance is calibrated to provide a lifting force to make raising and lowering the table height as easy as power steering.

Table tops may be thermofoil with contoured edge, or laminate with polyurethane moulded edge that offers added comfort and the rich look of wood. The base offers continuous, stepless adjustment in a height range of 19.68”, from a sitting position of 27.47" to  standing at 47.15”.
