Heartwood Electric Height Adjustable Desk Bases — Calypso, Cleo, Athena, Atlas & Selene

Electric sit-to-stand desk bases from Heartwood. Choose the base that fits your desk size and budget, then pair it with a Heartwood Innovations or Levels top, or use your own. Every base has one motor per leg, 4 memory positions, anti-collision and easy-fold quick assembly, and takes the optional locking casters.

Which base is right for you?

• Calypso (Premium): the widest height range and the biggest tops, up to 94.5" wide and 35.5" deep. Fastest and quietest, with an offset 3-stage leg and a 15-year structural warranty. Best for large desks, deep tops and heavy setups.
• Cleo (Best Value): the same 3-stage range and lifting capacity as Calypso for less, with a 15-year structural warranty. Best for most standard office desks.
• Athena (Budget): a dependable 2-stage base at the lowest price for a 2-leg or L-shape desk. Best for budget-conscious offices and home offices.
• Atlas Single Leg: a compact single-column base for tops up to 41.5", for small desks and tight spaces.
• Selene 4-Leg Back-to-Back: one base for two facing workstations, for benching and shared desks.

• 3-leg bases are for L-shape desks, and need a return top.
