The Captain's Standing Desk
In crafting the Captain’s Desk, iMovR's lead furniture designer, Vincent Leman, sought to evoke romantic allusions to the age of exploration, when galleon ships plied the currents and trade winds, connecting the new world with the old.
Nautical buffs will appreciate the angular elements of a classic ship captain’s davenport desk and the perimeter fencing of a military campaign desk (intended to keep navigation instruments from rolling off the table in rocking seas), making the iMovR Captain’s desk one of the most charming and unique standing desk designs on the market today.
The Elegance, Strength, Durability, and Sustainability of Our Original Baltic Birch
Emanating from the northeastern region of Europe around the Baltic Sea (chiefly Russia and Finland), Baltic birch plywood has long been prized by the world’s finest cabinet makers for its strength and consistency. Many high-quality musical instruments, such as guitars and percussion are made from Baltic birch.
Its core is completely unlike traditional plywood you might find in lumber yards or big box stores. The layers of inner plies are 1 mm-thick solid birch veneer, cross-banded, and laminated with strong adhesive. It’s a recipe that results in a void-free core with a number of distinct advantages over other desktop materials. We use only the top grade (B/BB) of Baltic birch to make our desktops.
Beyond its gorgeous maple-mimicking aesthetics, Baltic birch is incredibly strong and stable. Compared to natural hardwoods of the same or even much greater thicknesses, it is far less susceptible to flex and movement over time and with changes in temperature and humidity. Furniture makers love Baltic birch for its uniformity, which allows for precision joinery and impressive durability.
Choosing between Classic Baltic Birch and Red River Birch
The Baltic line was originally designed with genuine Baltic birch from Russia. Due to the conflict, this lumber became impossible to get but we have been able to source the same exact material from Finland, albeit at a significantly higher cost and so Baltic birch is available for purchase once again.
New! We now also have an alternative multi-ply birch available from the Red River Valley in Vietnam, which is nearly identical in quality, stability and appearance to Baltic, but available at the significantly lower pre-war cost. The difference between the two can be seen in this photo. The inner plies of the Red River birch are made from Acacia or Eucalyptus, which can have a darker edge on some of the plies. The top and bottom veneers are still genuine birch.
Choose from nine gorgeous custom-blended stains or just the natural, unstained finish. We use only GREENGuard-certified, formaldehyde-free stains and sealants in the meticulous hand-crafting of these desktops, to give them a shimmering gleam and protect the beauty of the wood for many years to come.

Built on a Premium-Quality Height-Adjustable Base
The Captain’s Desk is proudly engineered and manufactured in the USA. Innovative advancements like a built-in health coach and Bluetooth-connected app make your transition to a healthier work life easier than ever before. With commercial-grade ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2014 certification and an industry-leading warranty, you’ll enjoy the confidence of knowing your desk was built to last.
Intuitive Height Control Paddle with Built-in Health Coach
The Captain’s Desk’s height control paddle makes it the easiest desk in the world to use. Simply tap twice up or down to adjust the desk to your next height favorite. Want reminders to stand? Its built-in coach will gently remind you to stand at intervals you can set, either by flashing the LED in the paddle, sending a push notification to your phone, or both. Studies have shown a 117% increase in standing time by activating the health coach feature.
Smartphone App Unlocks Advanced Controller Options
We are continuously working to enhance the app with additional features to help you maximize the health benefits of your Captain’s Desk. With seamless Bluetooth connectivity you can remotely raise your desk, set up to four favorite height positions, establish custom reminders to stand (with optional push notifications), and more, all without touching the desk! Great for hot desks and shared spaces.
Quiet and Reliable
The Captain’s Desk can heft up to 225 lbs. while you can hardly hear the hushed motors. Some electric desks use fast but noisy motors, while some use slow but quieter motors; only the iMovR’s adjustable bases can lift this much weight at a blazing 1.6 inches per second and be this quiet. The Captain’s Desk is available in both a single-stage (two-segment leg) or dual-stage (3-segment leg) XT version. Average-height users can save by selecting the single-stage base, while extra-tall and extra-short individuals will want to opt for the dual-stage for its wider height range. The dual-stage version also offers improved stability at the higher height settings.
Fully-Assembled in Just Minutes
Every other standing desk you can buy entails tackling a DIY assembly project or hiring an installer. And there’s always the risk of an assembly error or one failed component that keeps you from enjoying your new desk. Why risk the hassle? The Captain’s Desk comes factory-tested and 90% pre-assembled; you’ll only need to attach the feet to the legs with four screws each, using the supplied Allen wrench.
NEAT-certified
This is a NEAT™ (Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) certified product; its usage will help combat the negative health effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Standing while working is the first line of defense against sitting disease, as the small movements you make throughout the day while standing increase your body’s energy expenditure and heart rate.

Scandinavian-Style Birch
Emanating from the northeastern region of Europe around the Baltic Sea (chiefly Russia and Finland), Baltic birch plywood has long been prized by the world’s finest cabinet makers for its strength and consistency. Furniture makers love Baltic birch for its uniformity, which allows for precision joinery and impressive durability.
Choose your Finish for Bottom of Desktop:
The darker the desktop stain relative to the natural color of the wood, the starker the contrast between the top and bottom of your desktop. We offer two options for finishing the bottom of your desktop:
- Standard Sealed Bottom: Sprayed with two coats of finish to seal and protect the wood from environmental changes. May show wipe marks from artisan's hand-staining along the edges. Note: Darker stains on lighter-colored woods will show the greatest color variation between top and bottom.
- Bottom Finish Upgrade: In addition to standard sealing, the underside of the desk is stained to match the desktop. This provides color consistency between the top and bottom as compared to standard sealing. May show occasional wipe marks carried over from hand-wiping the top. A practical choice for masking the color contrast on lighter-colored woods with darker finishes. Please note that this is not necessary with the Natural desktop option.
Choose your Base Color:
Choose from black, white, or silver base finishes to match your office décor.
Choose your Base Model:
Select the standard single stage base (27.35″–47.5″) or upgrade to the dual stage XT base (pictured) for a wider height range (24″–50″) suitable for shorter and taller users.
Choose your Power Management Options:
Bring power to the top of the table. Pairing perfectly with the Captain's Desk, iMovR offers the Rondo Micro, designed to fit perfectly in the 1.75″ grommet holes of the Captain's Desk. The Rondo Micro is available with a number of different modules providing a selection of AC outlets and USB outlets in both Type-A and Type-C. Choose up to three units to give your desk the power management it needs. This is ideal for shared workstations where users may want to power their laptops or charge their mobile devices, without having to bend down and search for a free outlet along the floor.
If you desire cable cleanliness and routing off of your desk top, we also offer the Rondo Micro Pass-Through Grommet with Cover (no power) as an accessory for the Captain's Desk.
iMovR's entire line of power management products are proudly made in Michigan using superior quality components and have been designed to be compliant with all electrical codes across the United States.
Choose your Standing Mat: Sit Less, Stand More, in Comfort
Take care of your feet and get the most out of your new standing desk! A good anti-fatigue mat means more hours standing in full comfort, by reducing strain on your back, legs, and feet. iMovR EcoLast Anti-Fatigue Mats are made from 100% polyurethane material and won’t lose their bounce or curl up at the edges like cheaper mats. 100% made-in-America, these mats come with a five-year full-performance warranty, and are completely recyclable.
Manage Your Cables
Keep your cables safe and organized and your new desk tidy with a Tucker™ Cable Management Kit. These kits are easy to install, and include a variety of versatile and reusable components to allow you to easily reconfigure your cable bundles time and time again. Most users will want to opt for the Pro Kit with Cable Chain for Adjustable Desks, which includes a height-tracking link chain with a full array of mounting and routing essentials for device and cable protection, including a 12-foot, 6-outlet, under-desk surge protector and capacious cable tray. With the surge protector in the tray and the cord cleanly routed through the cable chain, you'll have a tidy, professional-grade cable management system in no time, and the flexibility to position your new desk as close to or far from the wall outlet as you want.
Make it Mobile
Need more mobility in your desk? Our Locking Caster Wheel Set replaces your desk's leveling feet with four locking caster wheels. Now you can slide your desk wherever you want it easily and safely. These caster wheels screw into the recessed threading on the feet of your desk. Just remove the leveling pads, screw in the casters, flip your desk back over—and you’re good to go! Lock the casters when you find an ideal spot for your desk and unlock them when you want to glide to a different one.
