Sisu Reclaimed Wood Standing Desk
Due to the unique nature of reclaimed boards the colour and characterful features will vary, no two desktops will be the same. Adding a stain finish can bring more consistency in colour, however the boards are also likely to vary in porosity which results in some boards taking on more colour than others. As with any natural wood we’re unable to guarantee a specific colour finish.
Scroll down to "Frequently Asked Questions" to see images of the stain finishes.
Real wood desktops will build character over time and the colour warms with increased exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet light. Not such an issue with reclaimed wood but to avoid contrasting marks on the surface, we recommend periodically moving stationary objects such as lamps, monitor stands, and plants.
Solid wood features natural irregularities like knots, shakes (natural splits), and spalting (natural colour variations) that differ between staves (planks). These unique characteristics add to the charm and appeal of solid wood and another of the reasons they are so popular.
Any holes and cracks that could affect the desktop's durability and usability are filled. However, shallow cracks and small holes that do not impact its functionality are often left unfilled to preserve the wood's natural form.
The underside of the desktop is always treated with a coat of lacquer or oil, based on your preference, to reduce moisture absorption.
To prevent the wood from drying out, cracking, or absorbing excessive moisture, avoid placing it in areas with excess heat, extremely dry conditions, damp environments, and direct sunlight. Maintain a temperature of around 18°C-23°C and a relative humidity of 40-55%.

Desktop Care
Desktop Care - Solid wood standing desks
Although the lacquers used are the most robust available even these materials can be damaged. To ensure that your desktop provides years of great service please follow the product care guidance:
- Always use a mouse mat – wear and tear such as constant contact with moving items is not covered under the warranty.
- Do not use any cleaning agent that contains an abrasive, ammonia, bleach, spirit or other aggressive constituents like sanitiser sprays.
- Use a warm, damp and slightly soapy cloth to wipe over.
- Don’t use any spray cleaners as they can damage the protection of the lacquer finish or use wax, as a build-up can spoil the finish.
- Special care should be taken not to damage the lacquer finish during the first two weeks of installation.
- Lacquer can take several days to be heat-proof and up to two weeks to fully cure.
- We strongly advise placing hot objects on mats rather than the bare top particularly during this time and as a general rule to avoid damage.
- Oiled finishes don’t provide as much protection as lacquer finishes, they aren’t as durable and will need re applying.
- Particular care should be taken to wipe up spills immediately. If they are not cleaned immediately, a permanent stain can result.
Please also be aware that considerable heat can be generated from the underside of laptops. Precautions should be taken to avoid any heat related damage.
As with any natural wood product, twisting and warping can occur in conditions with extreme temperature variations. Please bear this in mind if installing in air conditioned environments and adjust accordingly. The same consideration should be given to positioning, for example away from active radiators and direct sunlight.

Struan Alexander –
I recently received my Sisu reclaimed wood standing desk from Flomotion. It is a beautiful, high quality desk that has so many unique features. I particularly like the different grains and knots in the wood, giving the desk character.
Putting the desk together was straightforward, with the help of my assembly team – Dad and 9 year Lily! The desk is very sturdy and its motor is robust with useful features like favourites, control lock and connection to smartphones.
The team at Flomotion have been incredibly helpful – fielding many calls and emails from me – and they kept me in the loop during production and delivery – thank you!

We have used flomotion a number of times. When we opened our new Scottish office it was a no brainer to get the help to kit it out. Highly recommend them – amazing service, quality and they are super nice people too

Frequently Asked Questions
Sisu reclaimed desk stain finish options
Our Sisu Reclaimed Desktops are all unique. As a natural material there are variations of grain and colour, and the distinctive character of the boards bring another dimension of individuality.
Adding a stain finish like light oak or walnut can add more consistency of colour but the boards are likely to vary in porosity which results in some boards taking on more colour than others. This means we are unable to guarantee a particular shade.
Desk Grommets
Simply put, a desk grommet is used to cover and tidy the cutout hole, so that cables and wires can move through the hole freely and are kept neat.
Adding grommets to your desk puts it firmly in the office category. If you’re looking for a work from home desk as a piece of flexible furniture, without grommets it’s both a desk and table for multiple situations and occasions.
- Our standard 80mm aluminium grommets are positioned 100mm in from the back and 170 mm in from the side edge to the centre of the hole.
- A single centre grommet is positioned centrally, 100 mm in from the back edge of the desk to the centre of the hole.
- Custom positioning, size and shape are all options. Add the details in the note section at checkout and we’ll be in touch. Alternatively, call us on 01603951595 or email hello@flomotionstudio.com
The Sisu range of desks feature our unique Skyflo frame which is one of the most stable sit-stand desk frames on the market today. Our focus is on quality materials, workmanship and constantly curating components that result in top class stability.
All height adjustable desks will move at full height if pushed and wobbled! If you start from a point of cheaper quality, what might at first seem a stable enough frame is likely to become shaky and wobble over a much shorter time period.
Read an independent review here.
The Skyflo frame is a unique combination of LINAK components and the long heavyweight steel desk feet. An exclusive combination that results in superior stability at all desk heights.
When considering the stability of a standing desk frame it’s important to talk about quality and the difference between budget and premium desk frames. Most adjustable height desk frames sold online are entry-level and produced in China with a primary focus on cost reduction rather than long-term reliability. More advanced, premium models feature tighter manufacturing tolerances and higher-grade materials.
Precision manufacturing and the quality of components play an important role in the stability of a desk. If you start from a point of cheaper quality, what might at first seem a stable enough frame is likely to become shaky and wobble, over a much shorter period. If you’ve been researching, you’ll know that LINAK is the best of the best. A world-leading manufacturer of linear actuators (columns) with 40+ years spent developing and perfecting actuator systems.
Steel adds weight but is expensive so be wary of cheaper frames with short, lightweight feet. The best desks have long, heavy feet, designed to include internal structures that bolster rigidity that all go towards anchoring the frame as well as increasing its front-to-back stability.
Tall, heavy-handed typist in particular, will want to avoid cheaper desks, with shorter, less weighty feet.
Our desk feet are 90mm wide and 720mm from front to back with 75mm diameter adjustable foot studs. Longer length feet and larger contact surface also improve stability.
Micro feet at 520mm are also available for narrower 600mm desktops. Get in touch for quote on 01603 951595 or hello@flomotionstudio.com
