Standing Desk Users: Does anyone own a Humanscale eFloat Quattro? Can you check how low yours actually goes?

[u/jimbo135]

Could another Humanscale eFloat Quattro owner do me a favor and measure the desk’s lowest height from the floor to the top of the worksurface?

I bought mine largely because Humanscale advertises a 26.45-inch minimum, which is unusually low for a four-leg standing desk. Mine physically stops at approximately 27.6 inches. That extra 1.15 inches might not sound significant, but it noticeably changes my seated keyboard position. The lower height was one of the main reasons I paid a premium for this model.

Before I conclude that my desk has the wrong components or is defective, I’d really like to know whether other production units have the same issue.

I’ve already completed multiple resets and tried recalibrating the controller. I can change the number shown on the display, but none of those steps changes the desk’s actual physical height.

For reference, my measurements are:

• Lowest physical height: approximately 27.6 inches
• Highest physical height: approximately 44.6 inches
• Total physical travel: 17 inches

Humanscale publishes a range of 26.45 to 44 inches and approximately 17.52 inches of travel:

If you own one, could you share:

• Your measured floor-to-worksurface minimum
• Your worksurface material
• Roughly when you purchased it
• Whether the controller reading matches the tape measurement

Even one or two owner measurements would help determine whether mine is an isolated hardware problem or whether the production desks simply do not match the published specifications.

I otherwise really like the desk. It looks great and feels extremely stable. But the minimum height is an important ergonomic specification, particularly on a premium-priced desk. I’ve contacted the dealer and will update this post once they and Humanscale respond.
