Whether working from home or in-office, the Follow desk can climb and descend to the user's desired height. The mechanical system used for the Follow design is based on the concept of weight counter-balancing, which allows the worktop to move quickly and quietly. Its height ranges from 68 centimeters, at its lowest, to 118 centimeters, at its highest. Made from [powder-coated steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bisley-align), Follow's lightweight adjustability is suitable for modern and dynamic workspaces. The worktop made from melamine and laminate comes in a range of colors and is complete with a reinforced nylon handle for the height adjuster.
