Yes. See our shipping details.

How shiny is the silver/grey color?

As the photographs were taken under bright, studio lights, the silver/grey desk shown looks slightly more metalic than it will look under typical home lighting. Our silver/grey is slightly darker and less reflective than true annodized aluminum. That said, its looks great.

Will the powdercoat scratch easily?

Powder coatings are more scratch resistant than conventional paint. The Black and Silver desks are the most resistant to scratching as they have a fine texture. The glossy finish of the White and Red desks is more susceptable to fine scratches in the gloss. A OneLessDeskPad is recommended to reduce wear and improve optical mouse tracking.

The silver/grey one looks like aluminum. Is it made of aluminum?

No. OneLessDesk is made of steel with a powdercoat finish. OneLessDesk Special Edition is made of stainless steel.

Will it scratch my floor?

No. OneLessDesk's feet are made of slick, unpigmented polypropylene - the same material from which furniture sliders are made. Sliding OneLessDesk's deck across concrete, tile, or wood will not produce marks or scratches.

Is assembly required?

Almost none. Just remove OneLessDesk from the box and attach the feet with the supplied tool.

Will it slide on carpet?

Yes.

Is it stable?

OneLessDesk is very stable. OneLessDesk's feet extend forward and aft of both the upper and lower deck to provide ample stability.

Wouldn't a metal desk be cold to the touch?

Yes, at first. Then, the surface under your palms warms to your touch and becomes very comfortable. As steel is a natural heat sink, many people find the surface more comfortable than plastic laminate or wood for those long use sessions. However, you may want to purchase our OneLessDeskPad accesory.

Will a laser or optical mouse track well directly on the powder-coated finish?

Depends on the color of the desk. In our tests, the mouse tracked perfectly on the silver desk. The white desk may require the use of a mousepad or OneLessDeskPad.

Is OneLessDesk available at any retail stores?

Currently we only sell OneLessDesk directly to end customers. Interested retailers should contact sales@hecklerdesign.com.
