Lian Li continues to move away from is chassis roots by launching a pair of new motorised, height adjustable, standing desks. The DK-12 and DK-16 offer different workspace sizes and different maximum loads. Unlike the DK-04 and earlier computer desk chassis from Lian Li these are simply desks - no chassis has been integrated, though the firm claims they are built "with PCs in mind".
The key properties of the new Lian Li DK-12 and DK-16 electric, height-adjustable, standing desks are as follows:

Whatever model you choose you will benefit from a thoughtfully designed, easy to use, height adjustable desk. For intuitive convenience Lian Li has fitted the desks with a touch-controller. The up/down arrows work as you would expect plus there's four presets that can be stores/recalled (the 'M' button is the memory button).
For PC users the DK-12 and DK-16 have convenient circular pass-throughs with metal covers help route and manage cords. Under the back of the desk there is a shelf for storing cables and power bricks. The shelf doesn't obstruct the use of a clamping system which you may use to mount monitors and multi-display setups.
In our press release Lian Li says the legs are made of steel rather than iron, as specified in the product spec table. The desk surface is covered in a durable, waterproof, leather-like material. The surface covers a 3cm particle board core bound by an aluminium frame.
The Lian Li DK-12 and DK-16 desks are said to be available immediately in the UK and are priced at £879.95 ($899.99 USD) and £1059.95 ($1099.99 USD, from 15th Sept in the USA) respectively.
