Desko V1
Pick the V1 if…
You work at it a few hours a day and your monitor setup is light. A single motor geared through the crossbar lifts 100 kg quietly and level — it does the job properly, it just does it with one motor instead of two.

Pick the V2 if…
You're at the desk full-time. A second motor means it lifts a heavier setup and stays level under an uneven load, and USB charging lands in the keypad. The best value per specification — most people should buy this one.

Pick the V3 if…
You want the flagship: three-stage columns for the widest height range, 140 kg for the heaviest setups, advanced anti-collision and the integrated cable channel. The desk you never think about upgrading.
