SmartDesk Hybrid

Overview

Review Summary

The Autonomous SmartDesk Connect standing desk has very limited color options in just two sizes. Designed to be used as a hot desk for flexible offices. Originally, the SmartDesk was designed for use with the Autonomous Office app, allowing you can book the desk for certain blocks of time. Autonomous indicated that no one other than the person who made booked the desk can unlock it, where the desk would sync with your saved height preferences through the app once you connect. We really love Bluetooth tech in standing desks. Autonomous provides a 7-year warranty for the frame and 1-year warranty on the top, with a 30-day trial period, which indicates a relatively low quality construction.

Autonomous indicates that no one other than the person who made booked the desk can unlock it. The desk will sync with your saved height preferences through the app once you connect.

Autonomous also hinted at more personalization in the future, including a lamp and photo frame that will also change to your preferences when you connect with the desk through the app.
