A desktop that feels as good as it looks

There’s something wonderfully rustic about aged wood. Before it became part of our
desktops, the timber in the FRISKA Vintage Corner was used as scaffold planking. But then we planed it, stripped it, sanded it and lacquered it to give it a new lease of life as the most incredibly tactile desktop you’ve ever seen (and felt).

This is a desktop the wears its knots and knocks lightly but proudly, with a soft sheen that makes it a joy to touch, but never hides its history.

Metal battens under the L-shaped desktop add structural strength and help prevent warping or splitting, but please note that a very small degree of warping, bowing or splitting (up to 2mm) is inevitable for a real wood product placed in centrally heated spaces.

For real wood that’s lived a real life, choose FRISKA Ultimate Vintage.

Underneath, it’s a Stockholm

The finest of desktops deserves a corner frame to match. Manufactured in Sweden using the highest of high-grade steels, each corner frame is engineered to the tightest of tolerances. It’s how we ensure every FRISKA Ultimate Vintage Corner delivers a peerlessly robust, swift and near silent experience. Choose from five beautiful frame finishes.

Load: Including desktop, maximum load is 160kg. No FRISKA desk can lift more.

Speed: Three motors mean swift and whisper-quiet raising and lowering that’s among the very best you’ll find.

Height range: A range of 600mm to 1.3 metres makes the Vintage suitable for wheelchair users, people who stand 2.1 metres tall, and everyone in between.

Stability: How do we make FRISKA sit stand desks so sturdy? Because from frame to feet to fixings, we’ve engineered them that way.

Find out more about FRISKA’s uncompromising approach to stability.

Add to your order: Give your monitor the same level of sturdiness delivered by your Prestige desk. Add a FRISKA monitor arm to your order in the Choose Your Essentials panel above.

Control: Dual Bluetooth and physical controls, choose the physical desktop front edge controls to raise or lower your Vintage Corner sit-stand desk or switch to the app and do it all via Bluetooth which not only keeps the lines of your desk looking clean and sleek; it keeps the controls away from little inquisitive fingers – handy if you work from home.  Both Bluetooth and physical controls can be used together too which gives you ultimate control of your unique desk.

Safety: Every FRISKA Ultimate Vintage Corner sit stand desk has the most advanced intelligent and adjustable anti-collision sensor available, so if the desk encounters an obstruction, it stops.  The sensitivity of the sensor can be selected and controlled via the App, making it the safest standing desk in the world.  Seeing is believing, check out the video below!
.
.

Sustainable: There’s no more sustainable desktop, as all the wood in every Vintage standing desk has been recycled from scaffold boards. Every Stockholm frame incorporates 30% recycled steel.

The Ultimate Experience: Treating yourself to a FRISKA Ultimate desk goes beyond just the actual product itself, it also comes with a 5 star service.  Same day shipping can be selected from the 'Essentials' selection box above (this includes free shipping to Europe), so you can enjoy your Ultimate desk tomorrow, or you can allow yourself to be completely pampered and let us do everything for you at no extra cost.

Check the 'Install' option above and we'll schedule your desk to be installed within 14 days (UK mainland only), we'll bring your desk and any accessories to you, assemble them all professionally, show you how to operate and reset it, and take all the rubbish away with us.  This is the ultimate standing desk experience.

Important: 

The unique nature of each piece of wood in a FRISKA Ultimate Vintage Corner standing desk means these can’t be pre-drilled with metal screw inserts. We promise they’re still relatively easy to assemble though!

If you’d prefer a sit stand desk pre-drilled for easiest assembly, please choose The Ultimate EnduranceUltimate - Privilege or any of our ‘standard’ standing desks.

Configuration

FRISKA Stockholm height adjustable corner desk configuration diagram


Our corner desks are configured with either left or right-handed returns, as they are essentially built in two sections, a main section and a return section, as per the diagrams above. The main section of the desk is 80cm deep (front to back) and the return (or side) section is 60cm deep. The main section can either be 160cm or 180cm wide and the return / side total length of 160cm, this is made up of the 80cm depth of the main section plus 80cm for the length of the return / side section. 

The complete desktop is provided as two separate pieces and are predrilled with metal screw inserts fitted in the fixing pattern of the frame to make assembly easier and quicker.  This does not apply to special size desktops which are supplied without inserts.  We can only make two-piece desktops for corners.

We are also able to make custom sized tops with little cost impact on a 4-week lead time, limitations do apply but if you are looking for something different, email your idea through to sales@friskadesk.com or drop us a line on 0330 137 1937 and we’ll help make your design come to life.

    Desktop Care

    This is a natural product and it will stay looking its best and last longer when you give it just a little TLC. Please don’t use household cleaners or anti-bac wipes—they’re too harsh. Instead, clean the desktop regularly using a cloth dampened in mildly soapy, warm water. Dry immediately afterwards with a separate dry cloth.

    Clean spills immediately to avoid them discolouring the desk or causing it to warp.

    A natural wood desktop will dent if you knock it. Spills such as ink may stain. If you’d prefer a desktop that won’t dent, scratch, stain or warp no matter how much you (literally) throw at it, please choose either a FRISKA Ultimate – Privilege, or any of our standard FRISKA standing desks (not that there’s anything ‘standard’ about them).

      When your delivery arrives

      We deliver to your door. For insurance reasons, unless your desk is being installed, we can't bring it inside. You might want to make sure you have someone to help you take delivery of your FRISKA Ultimate Vintage Corner standing desk.

      Important:

      Your order may be delivered on a pallet. We do this to minimise the risk of damage. Your pallet will include several boxes wrapped in plastic. Tear open the plastic to remove your parcels, then recycle the pallet. You may find an unwrapped desktop used as the base of your pallet. This will be a second (usually with a damaged corner or similar). Please don’t refuse delivery at first glance! Your desktop is safely wrapped up inside. 


      Installation

      Ask for installation by FRISKA and the people arriving at your door will be far more than delivery drivers with screwdrivers. FRISKA engineers are standing desk specialists, this is what they do, all day and every working day. In addition to delivering, unboxing and putting your FRISKA Ultimate Vintage Corner sit stand desk together, they’ll also ensure every detail of your desk and cable tray is in perfect working order before they leave. They’ll remove all packaging too.

      • Installation is only available on the UK mainland and is free for all Ultimate desks.
      • We’ll give you a date and approximate time for installation (am or pm) a few days after we receive your order. Have a specific date in mind? There’s no harm in asking, although we can’t promise anything.
      • Installation includes desk and cable tray (but if you ask nicely and the engineers have time, they’ll do their best to sort any other accessories too)
      • Our engineers will bring your desk with them, but they’ll need a clear area in which to work and assemble it.
      • We can’t guarantee to remove old equipment, but if there’s room on the van and you bribe us with tea and biscuits we’ll do our best.
      • Once booked, please give us at least 48 hours’ notice of any change, otherwise you may still be charged for a missed appointment.

        Guarantee

        How long is my FRISKA Ultimate Vintage Corner height adjustable desk guaranteed for?

        Every Vintage has a full, no-quibble 5-year guarantee.

        What does the guarantee cover?

        Manufacturer faults in any part of the desk and frame, as long as the desk has been used
        normally and for its intended purposes (i.e. as a sit/stand desk).

        FRISKA guarantees stay with the original purchaser and aren’t transferable.

        What happens if I have a problem with my Ultimate Vintage Corner standing desk?

        We’ll get it sorted, simply. Here’s how:

        1. Get in touch. You’d be amazed how often we can resolve issues over the phone. Often all it takes is a reboot of the control panel or (and we really aren’t making this up) switching your desk on at the wall.
        1. Problem still not solved? We might ask you to send us a quick video so we can see what the issue is (that’s always a big help). Then we’ll send you a replacement part which will usually be with you in a day or two. Our standing desks are designed to be really easy to fix, so switching parts should be simple. We’ll collect the faulty component when you’re ready.
        1. If we installed your desk and the issue is more than a simple switch-out of a part, we’ll come and fix it for you.

        The really important bit: we’ll never leave you hanging. If a fix doesn’t work, we’ll find a way to sort it. If, ultimately, that means sending you a whole new desk, we’ll do that too.

        What do I need to get my desk fixed?

        Just proof of purchase – order number or your details will be fine.

        Instructions & Videos

        What tools will I need to assemble my FRISKA Ultimate desk?

        We provide you with the necessary Allen keys for the frame fixings, you will also need an electric screwdriver with a PZ2 bit for the frame-to-desktop screws, a tape measure and you might also find a softheaded mallet useful.

        Are FRISKA Ultimate desks easy to assemble?

        Yes, providing you have a good knowledge of DIY know-how to build it, as no predrilled holes are provided in the desktop, which means that you will have to centre the top onto the frame and fix the two together using the woodscrews we provide.  You’ll find the instructions and operating manual genuinely helpful too.

        If you have any concerns about building your FRISKA Ultimate desk, please select the installation option in the option box above and we'll do it all for you for free.

        The desktop will have metal strengthening battens and a series of holes in the underside of the desk, these are NOT predrilled holes to use for the frame fixings but are the result of battens screwed to the desktops to keep them from warping in storage.  See images below, please ignore these holes when building your desk.

        The downloadable instructions below apply to the FRISKA Stockholm corner desk. As FRISKA Ultimate corner desks use a Stockholm corner frame, you’ll find most of what follows still relevant, however, please note that our real wood desktops DO NOT have metal screw inserts as depicted in the instructions and videos.

        Assembly Videos

        In the video below you'll find a quick guide to assembling a FRISKA corner sit stand desk. Please note, it’s only a guide—installation details may differ depending on the products you choose and as we make updates and improvements.

        Always refer to your instruction booklet when assembling as that will contain up to date details which may not be in these videos.  Please note that this video shows fixing the frame to desktop with metal screw inserts, however all solid wood tops do not have these inserts, utilising wood screws instead.

        The method for installing the control box in this video differs from your instruction booklet, please note that this method is no longer viable with the Bluetooth control, please ensure you refer to the additional control box video below and take particular note of the importance of cable clamping to avoid any nuisance tripping of the anti-collision sensor.

        FAQs

        What is our guarantee?

        Our guarantee is for 10 years, includes the motors and all electrical parts and is backed up by our in-house UK engineer team. Our guarantee is backed up by over 35 years of experience of manufacturing in Sweden.        

        Where are FRISKA desks made?

        The frames, all electrical controls and motors are manufactured in Sweden, and the desktops are UK sourced and finished in our UK factory.  

        If I order today, when will I get my order?

        We ship all orders received before 2 pm the same day for delivery the following working day. All orders placed over the weekend will be shipped out on Monday for delivery Tuesday and orders placed before 2 pm on Friday will be shipped for delivery Monday. This is subject to stock availability which is normally excellent.  A notification will be sent to you when your order has been collected by our carrier partner.

        How stable are the desks at height?

        The Stockholm is one of the most stable sit-stand desks available in the market today and whilst they can be made to move a fraction when at full height if you push to wobble it, this is not noticeable during normal use.  Please check out our reviews from delighted customers for testimony of this fact - https://friskadesk.com/pages/reviews and view this YouTube video which compares our Stockholm to a competitor’s desk.

        We recommend the use of a sturdy monitor arm to help eliminate any unnecessary wobble at your monitor.  There is also an independent in-depth review from a customer on Reddit which is very interesting - https://www.reddit.com/r/StandingDesk/comments/htjbo9/uk_friska_stockholm_standing_desk_review/  

        It’s also worth bearing in mind that cheap imported standing desks often have massive stability problems due to poor design and cheap materials.        

        What motors do you use?

        The motors we use in the desks are 100% made in Sweden for us and covered by our 10-year guarantee.  

        What electrical controls do you use?

        All of the electrical controls are made in Sweden, this includes everything from the switches to the control boxes.  These are the best quality electrical controls for furniture available today and we have no hesitation in including all the electrics in our comprehensive 10-year guarantee.

        Can you make any size desktop?

        We can make almost any size desktop, please email sales@friskadesk.com with the size you require, and we will do our best to help you achieve your ideal.  All custom desktops are on a 3-4-week lead time and there may be a small price premium.      

        What is the lowest and highest height the desks can achieve?

        The Stockholm has a minimum height of 595 mm to the underside of the desktop, (620 mm to the top side). This is one of the lowest positions that any desk on the market can go to right now. The maximum height that the Stockholm extends to is 1300 mm, which is high enough for anyone up to around 2.1 m (6'10") in height.    

        Can I use my own desktop?

        We supply standing desk frames only, without tops, which allow you to use your own desktop, these come complete with all the electrics needed for the desk to operate including the up/down switch and all the fixings, all you need to provide is a desktop. Click the link to view the range: https://friskadesk.com/collections/height-adjustable-desks-frames-only

        Do you give discounts?

        For commercial orders we can discount for quantity, generally on orders of 10 units or more, please contact us with your requirement on sales@friskadesk.com and we’ll do our best to meet your budget.

        Your desks are too high for my budget, can you help?

        We’re very sympathetic with anyone on a limited budget we may be able to help you on that as we offer the option of paying with Klarna (operated by Klarna Bank AB, Stockholm, click the Klarna name for more info), which you may well have heard of, or even used but if you haven’t come across this amazing facility before, it gives you the ability to spread your purchase over 3 months at no extra cost to yourself, enabling you to get the product and specification you really want.   

        Other suppliers have desks much cheaper than FRISKA desk, why is this?

        As our desks are wholly manufactured in Europe, we don’t aim to compete against low-cost Chinese imports on price alone, and any desk significantly lower priced will be a cheap Chinese import.  Please do consider that cheap imports do not comply with EU/UK regulations, lack stability at height and the guarantees for the electrical parts of the desk are often only for 2 years.

        As all FRISKA desk frames and motors are made to precision high-quality standards in Sweden with the desktops being made in the UK, we are able to cover them with a market-leading 10-year no-nonsense guarantee.  This is backed up with our in-house engineer service help.

        What is the depth of the feet from front to back?

        The feet on the standard Stockholm are 690 mm, front to back, which means a top as narrow as 700 mm can be used.  On the Micro the feet are 590 mm, as this has a 600 mm top.  We also carry 490 mm legs in stock, and these are available in the accessories pages, so if you have a custom idea for a desktop, we should be able to produce something to suit!         

        Can I set minimum and maximum heights?

        With both the standard up/down and memory switches a minimum and maximum height can be set that is completely independent of any memory settings. Simply lower the desk to the desired position, press and hold both the “up” and “down” buttons together for about 10 seconds, until an audible click is heard. The lowest position possible has now been set. This feature is included to protect any fixtures or furniture beneath the desk against accidental damage. Having set a minimum height, a maximum height position can also be set if required by using the same method, this is useful for obstacles like bookshelves or windowsills etc. To reset the desk from these minimum and maximum limits, lower (or higher) the desk until the limit has been reached, press and hold both the “up” and “down” buttons together for at least 10 seconds, until an audible click is heard. The limit has now been removed and the desk can be operated normally.

        What safety features do your controls have?

        Our desks comply with CE marking and all European directives for machinery, one of these safety directives we adhere to is that you have to be in physical contact with the operational switch in order for the desk to move.  Cheap Chinese imports often have the feature of a 'one touch' switch, enabling you to press the switch once and leave the desk to move to your pre-set position, this is specifically not approved by EU/UK law and could potentially result in injury, especially to pets and children.

        All Stockholm and Stockholm derivative desks have the most advanced intelligent and adjustable anti-collision sensor available.  The sensitivity of the sensor can be selected and controlled via the App, making them the safest standing desks in the world.

        A video of this in operation tells the story so much more effectively than a thousand words ever could, click through to check it out here: https://youtu.be/tQOUICoSyJc

        My desk has gone into 'limp-home' mode, how do I reset it?

        To reset the desk when it is in safety shut down state, ensure the space under the desk is totally clear, press the down button until the lowest point is reached, release your finger from the button and then press the down button again for at least 10 seconds, until you hear a click and see the whole desk jig down and up a small amount. This has now reset and you're good to go.  You can see a reset video here - https://friskadesk.com/pages/how-to-1

        What are the desktops made of?

        The standard desktops are 25 mm thick melamine faced chipboard (MFC), manufactured in UK from sustainable source wood and have a scratch-resistant anti-microbial melamine covering with various finish options: https://friskadesk.com/collections/desk-and-tabletop-finishes  We manufacture the desktops using our own CNC machines, so we can ship the same day from within the UK. 

        We pre-drill holes in the fixing pattern of the frame and insert metal screw anchors to make for a rock-solid fixing between the frame and desktop, helping to minimise any tendency to wobble.  We can also drill cable port holes precisely in the position you choose from the product page - https://friskadesk.com/products/kloven-cable-ports-1        

        Do you have any support for self-assembly?

        You can download a PDF of the instructions in the 'instructions' tab above and we have some great assembly videos that you will find extremely helpful to watch prior to starting your install: https://friskadesk.com/pages/how-to-1, we also offer expert phone support from our technical department if required.   

        What tools do I need to build my desk?

        We provide Allen keys for all of the frame and desktop bolts, however you will need also need a hammer and an electric screwdriver with a No.2 Posidrive bit to fit the hand control switch and to clamp the control cables that plug into the control box.
