When you purchase a Gostand desk you will receive everything required to build the desk frame. You will also receive self-tapping wood screws which can be used to secure your chosen desktop to your desk frame using a screwdriver or drill. Not everyone is comfortable with DIY so as well as selling blank desktops, we also offer 2 different assembly options for desktops: Pre-drilling and Metal Inserts. Neither option is essential but choosing one of them can make it much easier to complete the assembly of your desk.
Why are pre-drilling and metal inserts not fitted as standard?
We currently sell 10 different types of standing desk; each one has a different drilling pattern. We have a wide range of desk accessories which can be positioned in a multitude of different positions on the desktop. This means drilling patterns cannot be carried out in advance of desk sales but are in fact a bespoke service whereby we must match the drilling pattern to the exact specifications of each customer’s individual order. When an order comes through to us, our CNC operator must plan out the optimal drilling position for the specific desk configuration. Once all the correct holes have been drilled by the CNC machine, we fit the correct size metal inserts into place by hand and put the correct size screws into position. This process is much more time consuming and complicated than dispatching a blank desktop, but we have tried our best to keep the cost of this extra service to an absolute minimum.
