    Stability and Weight Limits

    All MojoDesk designs meet BIFMA standards and are independently tested and verified for stability and safety up to 300 pounds of pressure. By comparison, Varidesk is rated for 200 pounds for its 48-inch version and 250 pounds for the 60-inch version. (Note: Varidesk offers just two desk sizes.)

    Choice of Frame Color

    With MojoDesk you can choose between a black or gray adjustable frame, while Varidesk offers just one option, gray.

    No Crossbar Needed

    While MojoDesk requires no crossbar on any of our models, many of MojoDesk’s competitors require crossbars to meet BIFMA standards and limit bounce and shake. This is less than optimum as the presence of a crossbar also limits leg space, movement and space for under-desk storage.

    Varidesk, in particular, comes with a crossbar that can only be installed by hammering the crossbar into the leg brackets using a provided rubber mallet. While the rubber mallet is intended to provide low-maintenance assembly, the daily height adjustments you make to the desk will continually move past the red marker noted in the instructions. When this happens, the desk is not stable, and the crossbar needs to be hammered down again. Note: bolts would provide more stability.
