All the real wood feel; none of the compromises
Everyone loves the touch, feel and smell of real wood. It’s just that sometimes, from a practical perspective, wood can be, well, a bit of a faff, especially if it lives in hot, dry or humid conditions (i.e. pretty much any home or office).
So we engineered a wooden desk that won’t warp, split or do any of the things wood traditionally does indoors. It’s a wooden desk built to last. Which is why we called it Endurance.
Crafting Endurance
The FRISKA Ultimate wood-feel Luxury Primo Endurance desktop has MDF (medium density fibreboard) at its core. That’s what enables it to expand and contract without any lasting ill effects. There’s no warping. No splitting. No distorting.
Then, we cover the MDF core with a thick, real wood laminate in ash, oak or walnut. At 26mm in depth, its slightly chunkier than our standard desktops, matching real beauty with heavy-duty heft.
Underneath, it’s a Primo
The Ultimate desk deserves the Ultimate frame. Pair your Endurance desktop with the uber-stylish Primo frame and, frankly, admirers won’t know where to look. That’s because the only thing that looks quite as fine as this desktop are the tapered outrigger legs that match peerless stability with bold design flair. Just don’t hide it in a corner.
Load: Including desktop, maximum load for the Ultimate Luxury Primo Endurance is 100kg. That should be comfortably enough for most users (even the biggest, bulkiest monitor is rarely more than 10kg).
Speed: Dual motors mean swift and whisper-quiet operation. Even when lifting heavy loads, the Ultimate Luxury Primo Endurance is among the smoothest raising and lowering you’ll find in any height adjustable desk.
Height range: Seated, the FRISKA Ultimate Luxury Primo Endurance lowers to 615mm (measured to working surface) which makes it suitable for wheelchair users. Standing, it raises to a mighty 1275mm.
Stability: No standing desk feels as solid as a FRISKA. And no FRISKA standing desk feels quite as solid as the Ultimate Luxury Primo Endurance. Find out more about FRISKA’s uncompromising approach to stability.
Add to your order: You don’t want the sturdiest of desks to be let down by a feeble monitor arm. 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 FRISKA Ultimate Luxury Primo Endurance 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 ultimate desk.
Sustainable: The wood in every FRISKA Ultimate Luxury Primo Endurance desktop is sourced from FSC-certified UK forests. Every Primo 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:
FRISKA Ultimate Luxury Primo Endurance desks are pre-drilled with metal screw inserts in the fixing pattern of the frame for easier and quicker assembly, and to ensure the tightest, sturdiest of joins between frame and desktop..
This does NOT apply to special sized desktops due to the disproportionate time taken to programme each desktop into our CNC machine.

Cable Ports
Cable Port & Slot Positions
IMPORTANT: Standard cable ports can be used with the Primo, however because the desk frame is positioned at the back of the desk, the cable ports have to be positioned 260mm from the back edge of the desktop to the centre of the cable port hole. This makes them quite invasive of desk space. Similarly the cable tray has to mounted forward of the cross beam, which means that it sits just off centre. This does not impede on available leg space unless you are over 6'3" or have very long legs. Please note that drilling cable ports or slots can add 2-3 days delivery due to production requirements.
The picture below shows how the installed cable tray looks.

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 Endurance Primo 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 Luxury Primo Endurance 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 Luxury Primo Endurance sit stand desk guaranteed for?
Every FRISKA Ultimate Luxury Primo Endurance has a full, no-quibble 5-year guarantee on the desktop. The frame is guaranteed for an amazing 15 years.
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 Luxury Primo Endurance standing desk?
We’ll get it sorted, simply. Here’s how:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Assembly Instructions
What tools will I need to assemble my FRISKA Ultimate Luxury Primo Endurance desk?
We provide you with the necessary Allen keys and ratchet spanner 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 Luxury Primo Endurance desks easy to assemble?
Yes, providing you have a good knowledge of DIY know-how to build it, predrilled holes are provided in the desktop, which makes it easier for you to centre the top onto the frame and fix the two together. 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 downloadable instructions below apply to the FRISKA Primo desk. As the Ultimate Luxury Primo Endurance desk uses a Primo frame, you’ll find most of what follows still relevant, especially as our veneer wood desktops still have metal screw inserts as depicted in the instructions and videos. Please note that custom sized desktops will not be supplied with metal screw inserts.

FAQs
What is our guarantee?
Our guarantee for the Ultimate Luxury Primo Endurance frame is 15 years and 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. The desktop is guaranteed for 5 years.
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 Primo is a very stable sit-stand desk 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?
With the Primo desk, desktop sizes are limited due to ensuring the correct balance is maintained, 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.
Do I have to cut the cable ports myself?
No, the cable ports or slots are precisely cut out by CNC machine in our factory, and they come with either neat plastic circular covers in a choice of three different colours or aluminium covers. We provide a choice of five different positions for the cable ports on the desktop as standard and you can also specify a custom position if these are not where you want (lead time of 2-3 days applies to this). If you choose the custom option, be sure to email sales@friskadesk.com explaining exactly where you want the holes and include your order number for identification. Click this link to go straight to the page: https://friskadesk.com/products/kloven-cable-ports-1
What is the lowest and highest height the desks can achieve?
The Primo has a minimum height of 590 mm to the underside of the desktop, (615 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 Primo extends to is 1275 mm, which is high enough for anyone up to around 2 m (6'8") 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 Ultimate Primo 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 endurance desktops are approximately 27 mm thick, MDF base encased by a 2mm wood veneer, manufactured in UK from sustainable source wood and is sanded and lacquered for protection. 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 and a ratchet spanner 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.
