Choose Artiss 100 cm standing desks for tight rooms and single-monitor setups; choose 140 cm when dual screens and paperwork need width — both listed examples share a similar electric height band, so the real decision is desktop real estate.

Who this is for
Australian home offices and spare bedrooms where sit-stand habits matter but floor space still wins arguments with housemates.

Direct answer
Same height story on these two — buy width for screens and paperwork, not a different lift range.
Step-by-step buying workflow
- Measure wall width including chair roll-back.
- Count monitors and arms against 100 vs 140 cm.
- Confirm total desktop load under ~70 kg specs notes.
- Program sit/stand memories on day one.
- Route cables with a service loop for full height travel.
- Use side hooks for headphones — not heavy tool bags.
- Cross-check rental desk guides for room layout ideas.
Common mistakes and care
- Buying 100 cm then adding two arms and a printer.
- Forgetting cable length when the desk rises.
- Exceeding the specifications load note.
- Ignoring under-45 dB quiet expectations in shared flats.
- Skipping anti-tip / even floor checks.
Memory presets that stick
Save sit and stand heights on day one, then add a third for laptop-only stretches. Recheck after carpet compresses under the feet.
Monitor arm and depth reality
Both 100 cm and 140 cm tops are about 60 cm deep on these listings — ultrawides still need careful arm placement.
Lighting and evening walk-through
Walk the room again after dinner lighting is on. Clearances that look fine at noon can feel tight at night when people carry laundry baskets or laptop bags. Adjust placement before drilling or final cable dress.
Shared-household communication
Tell housemates which drawers, outlets or sleep surfaces are reserved for daily use versus guests. A five-minute handover stops someone overloading a rated shelf or blocking access paths.
Live listing re-check
Packaging inserts and storefront copy can differ slightly over time. Before final assembly or first sleep, open the live Darrah Opens product page and confirm the same dimensions, ratings and warnings you planned against.
Field checklist note 1
Re-walk the path with the carton nearby. Confirm door swings, chair rolls and pet traffic still clear the footprint. If anything feels marginal, pause and re-measure rather than forcing a fit.

Delivery and carton staging
Stage cartons along a hallway wall so living floors stay clear for assembly. Open boxes with a knife away from upholstery and foam. Recycle packaging only after every fastener bag is accounted for against the manual parts list.
Seasonal humidity notes
Coastal and humid suburbs move timber-look panels and fabrics. Wipe spills promptly, leave airflow behind tall furniture, and re-check anti-tip hardware after the first wet month.
Peak-hour clearance check
Re-check the footprint when everyone arrives home at once — bags, bikes and laundry baskets change usable width. Shift furniture or power leads before habits set in.

AU planning habits
Photograph the room with a tape measure in shot before you order. Write critical numbers on masking tape so the household uses the same figures. On assembly day, open the live product page again in case packaging notes differ from memory.
