What sizes and height range does the Branch Duo Standing Desk offer?
The Duo is offered in 36 x 24, 48 x 24, and 58 x 27 inch desktop sizes. All three versions adjust from 28 to 47.3 inches, a 19.3-inch lift range, and the product page lists a 275-pound weight limit.
How do I save and use the Duo's two height presets?
Adjust the desk to a preferred seated or standing height, then press the Gear Key twice to save it. The guide assigns the seated position to memory 2 and the standing position to memory 1; double-tapping the paddle up or down moves to the saved standing or seated height.
Does the Duo need assembly, and what safety precautions apply?
Yes. Branch's guide says two-person assembly is required and recommends initializing the desk before first use. Keep electrical components dry, do not modify the lifting columns, control box, or handset, do not sit or stand on the desk, and stop using it if parts or cords are damaged until authorized replacements arrive.
Which accessories and equipment are compatible with the Duo?
Branch lists compatibility with its Bluetooth Adapter, Desk Drawer, Cable Organizer, Desk Tray, Desk Perch, Desk Hook, Headphone Stand, Monitor Stand, Monitor Arm, Clamp-On Power, and Office Desk Panels. The product page notes that the Large Tray is not compatible with the 58-inch variant.
What warranty applies to the Duo Standing Desk?
Branch's warranty table lists the Duo Standing Desk under a 10-year warranty. The policy says coverage applies in the continental United States and Canada; direct Branch purchases do not require activation, while authorized third-party purchases require registration or proof of purchase. The warranty is non-transferable and has exclusions for issues such as overloading, improper installation, and marketplace purchases.
What should I do if the Duo shows an error or lowers automatically?
For error 11, 12, or 13, the guide says to hold the paddle down for five seconds until RESET appears, release it, then hold it down again during readjustment until the height numbers return. Errors 7 or 8 indicate a leg-cable signal issue; H01 indicates motor overheat protection. Automatic lowering indicates collision protection.
